   What’s the main idea?
   On his many caravan rides along the trading route between
   Syria and Arabia, a merchant named Muhammad observed people of
   all kinds of faiths. He became increasingly concerned that
   people were straying from ethical and moral responsibility. In

                    PLEASE DON’T RETIRE
We’ve got a dangerous practice in America called "retirement." It’s a blessing in some ways, but it’s also dangerous because it implies that your productivity stops when you get to be 62 or 65. It’s dangerous in the church because people look forward to retiring so they can get

                    A preacher had once to illustrate the free nature of God’s gift of salvation. They stood in the pulpit one morning held up a poinsettia plant and said: “Whoever wants this beautiful Christmas poinsettia may have it. All you have to do is take it.”
  They stared at me.  I waited.  And waited.

                    Our spiritual heritage in missions traces back to Adoniram Judson who lived from 1788-1850.  Years ago I read his biography.  Judson lived the suffering life of the apostle Paul.  He was one of the first to bring the Christian message to the Burmese.  When war broke out with England, the Burmese

                    Sin is the excrement of our soul. I’m not trying to be gross, but as much as our physical excrement may disgust us, our spiritual excrement disgusts God even more. 
We sin every day, even when we try our best not to do so. We sin less than we did before, and when we let Jesus into our lives, we

                    The year was 1992. A man was on parole for child molesting. His fellow apartment renters complained of odors and chainsaw noises. When the police searched his apartment, they found it full of skulls, headless torsos and body parts. He would murder, mutilate and sometimes cannibalized boys and men.
