What are New Life’s Spending Priorities?
Have you ever have that moment when you realize you don’t have enough money to give to everyone and everything you want to? It’s frustrating, isn’t it? It demonstrates that we live in a world in which we have limited resources, and that means we have to make tough choices. This is especially true since […]
Remember visiting New Life for the first time?
I recently had the opportunity to visit a local church for a conference, and I noted my experience through the entire visiting process. I don’t think I’m that shy or anxious of a person, but neither am I exactly fearless. From the time I entered the parking lot I noticed that I felt somewhat comfortable […]
Recap of Continuing the Conversation II (Sunday July 29)
Hello New Lifers! Sunday night yielded another helpful conversation about the future of our church family, and especially the stewardship and future of our beloved building. Thank you, Lord, for this congregation! I certainly have enjoyed this continued and delightful conversation with you all. Let’s keep praying and talking about the next 30 years. A […]
Where Is My Neighbor
If you are hard-pressed to name a friend (a neighbor you see fairly often) who does not know Jesus then I would challenge you to ask the questions: Where is my neighbor? and then: Where can I alter my path?
Why are churches important?
Today there are many wonderfully important institutions and associations, ones that bless and enrich our lives tremendously. Yet it is remarkable to think that Jesus established one in particular, the church. (Matt 16:18-19) Two thousand years later, the world is full of local churches. Not full enough, we hasten to add — but still, we […]

It is a joy to be writing you. Yes, […]
Who is my neighbor?
The two greatest commandments are: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” (Matt 10:27) This is what Jesus lived and what we are called to live. So, who is my neighbor and what does it mean to love him?
New Life Ministry to Arcadia University?
It all started over two and a half years ago, as a group of local pastors from diverse churches met to pray together. A discussion about Penn State Abington began, with all of the pastors voicing a desire to see a new gospel presence and loving witness on that campus. Things moved quickly, and a […]
Sonship
The New Life churches have been just remarkable. At its Glenside 40th anniversary it is with deep gratitude to the Lord that I think back to the special ways in which the Lord blessed us. One very prominent one is in our Jack Miller’s ‘Sonship’ slogan: preach the gospel to yourself. We need to ‘remember’ […]
In Appreciation Of Jack Miller (3): Orphans vs. Sons
New Life was founded by the vision and drive of a remarkable man of God—Dr. C. John Miller, or as most knew him, Jack. There were many others who came alongside Jack, including Rose Marie, his wife, whom we still think of as the “mother” of our church. But as part of our celebration of […]
