FILLED UP ANEW
Imagine a sponge that has been used to wash the dishes. It’s all full of dirt and food and old water. It needs to be filled with clean water! But how can you do that? Easy. You wring it out, rinse it off, and wring it out again. Only when you have done this can you fill it with

I was in line at McDonalds with my family the other day when it hit me. We often come to Christ with our requests as if we’re ordering a super-value meal. “Yes, I’ll have a reassurance sandwich, with a side of prosperity, and a large, refreshing dose of hope to wash it all down. And super-size

Max Lucado says, “The Bible has been banned, burned, scoffed, and ridiculed. Scholars have mocked it as foolish. Kings have branded it as illegal. A thousand times over, the grave has been dug and the dirge has begun, but somehow the Bible never stays in the grave. Not only has it survived, it has

A pre-kindergarten teacher found an exciting new thing for the Sunday School class. The teacher wrote a song about popcorn, taught it to the children, and had them crouch down on the floor to sing it. At appropriate points in the song, all the children would "pop up." The teacher soon had them

A little girl picked up a potato and said, "Look, Mommy, this potato is so big and nice, isn’t it?" Then the mother peeled it and cut it in half. How surprised was the little girl when she saw it all black and hollow in the middle.
There are many in the church like that. Outwardly they look great,

1. God knows everything we do not!
2. God has already named all the events in our life and it’s up to us to invite God into our life-time.
3. It is useless to try to argue with God He is always right.
4. It is

John Stott writes,
"Not all envy is tainted with selfishness, because it is not always either a grudging discontent or a sinful covetousness. At base, envy is the desire to have for oneself something possessed by another. And whether envy is good or evil depends on the nature of the something

The bottom line is that Christianity has always been at odds with culture and the world system. But all too often the church today is trying to win a war without really knowing where the battle is actually being fought.
The WAR is NOT about separation of Church and State. The WAR is NOT about

Church- a poem by James Blankinship
I think that I shall never see,
A church that’s all it ought to be;
A church whose members never stray,
Beyond the straight and narrow way.
A church that has no empty pews,
Whose preacher never has the blues;
Where elders ‘eld’ and deacons ‘deek’
And none is

WOULD YOU JOIN OUR CHURCH IF WE PAID YOUR DEBT?
What do you think would happen if we put out the word that on April 1, 2010, all of the debts of every member of the League St. Church of Christ would be paid off by an anonymous benefactor (maybe a Bill Gates, etc)?
Would that excite you just a

BEHIND THE SCENES
No wonder we are frustrated with the plans we see. We see injustice, but we don’t see behind the scenes. At Disney World there is a whole city underneath the Magic Kingdom. People are changing clothes, making outfits, and doing all the work to make everything above ground go

DYING IN THE OCEAN OF GRACE

GOD HELD MY HAND
As a child my parents took me to church
You see for me they didn’t have to search.
And when at my grandparents house we all went together.
In rain, snow, heat and all kinds of weather.
Growing up on a farm in rural Kentucky, work was all we knew
Of the outside world we had no
