This is Pastor Jim's Commentary Page. Dr. Jim Jenkins was the pastor of the Faith Center in Cottage Grove, Oregon (a Foursquare Gospel Church) for some 20 years.

Dr. Jenkins now teaches at the Eugene Bible College in Eugene, Oregon, as well as online classes for The King's College and Seminary. He has served his country as a United States Navy Chaplain and held the rank of Lieutenant Commander in the USNR.

Pastor Jim has graciously allowed me to cull the commentaries below from the Cottage Grove Faith Center's weekly church bulletins. I believe that the readers of chuckhawks.com, regardless of denomination, will profit from reading Pastor Jim's comments on timely and important subjects.
