I would like to illustrate what I mean with two different family studies: Family One—which we will remain unnamed is traced back to criminal ancestor. “Out of 1200 of his descendants, 400 wrecked themselves physically through drugs, drinking or sexual diseases; 310 were beggars; 130 convicted

I like some of what Edwene Gaines writes about although I do not agree with all her views on spirituality. But I have learned enough from her writings that I decided not to be bothered in areas where I disagree. I find her life story and spiritual journey though to be compelling.

Now if you are like me, you have found reading through Leviticus and other front-end Old Testament books to be a bit tedious with all of those laws. Let me give you a big picture view of all those laws: They describe the

I’m a pretty technically minded guy, and I like gadgets as much as the next person. But I just don’t seem willing or able to embrace the technology that has sprung up around cell phones. They make me feel positively old-fashioned. Maybe it’s just that when I hear the word phone, I assume that the

I’d like to be a track star. How cool would it be to stand before a roaring crowd that has stood to its feet because I set a new record in high jump! And I could do it, you know—if the record for high jump stood at two feet. Unfortunately for me, the record is almost 2.5 meters—well over seven

It’s like the pastor who told a colleague “I have 800 members in my church” “How many are active?” his friend enquired. “All of them” came the reply “600 are active for the Lord and the rest are

A young man is often told, "You look like your dad!" Children often look like their parents - whether they want to or not! The similarity is undeniable. Parents cannot deny children who look like them, even if they wanted to! In the same way, believers who are like Jesus, because they have a

For one couple it went like this: She said, “Dear what would you do if I died?” The husband said, “I would be at my wits end and very upset!” His wife said, “Would you remarry?” Her husband said, “No, of course not!” Then she said, “Don’t you like being married?” He said, “Of course I do” So she

Kind of like the guy who had too much to drink and he was driving -- all of the sudden he turns down a road going the wrong direction. The police finally pull him over and said to the man, "Hey fella, what are you doing, you could have killed yourself and someone else. Didn't you

Today, I would like to talk about, not when we were saved, but how we continue to be saved. And I am going to do that using the analogy of a set of instructions.
When I first bought my mandolin, I had never played one before. With that mandolin, I bought a couple of ‘how to play the mandolin’

Our topic today is worship and service. I’d like to begin by telling a true story that happened to Reverend Forrest I. Sears. He writes:

I WAS THE LAMB
Every summer when I was a child, my family would make the trip from Texas to New Jersey to see my dad’s parents. They lived in a fascinating two-story house in which all the bedrooms were upstairs. The room I slept in had a single bed, and above the bed was a picture of Jesus. You

JESUS: THE TOTAL PACKAGE
