                    There is a man who keeps on his desk a fairly large stone on which is lettered one word: FIRST.  Acting as a constant reminder of Jesus’ words, “He that is without sin… let him cast the first stone,” it helps check within him the automatic desire to be hasty in condemning others.  As he daily

                    How to find volunteers for a ministry:
WHAT NOT TO DO:
1. Do not generally stand in front of your congregation and make a plea for help.
2. Never beg people to join your ministry.
3. Never invite someone to join your ministry team unless you’re confident in their abilities to fulfill the roles you

                    An ad on TV shows all the junk in the sea being taken out, until the water is pure, (Old spitfires, warships and wrecks etc.) Unfortunately it is an alcohol ad that portrays the product as "pure water"? 
Isn't that just like man, to make what is good evil and what is evil good? Alcohol is anything

Saint Augustine said,
“The devil was conquered by his own trophy of victory.  The devil jumped for joy, when he seduced he first man and cast him down to death.  By seducing the first man, he slew him; by slaying the last man [Christ], he lost the first from his

1.  Christ came from above. Antichrist will ascend from the pit.
2.  Christ came in His Father’s name. Antichrist will come in his own name.
3.  Christ humbled Himself. Antichrist will exalt himself.
4.  Christ was despised. Antichrist will be admired.
