     | 2,610 views

    HIGH COST IS EXPECTED In the past missionaries boarded ship not expecting to ever see their homeland again. Some even sold themselves into slavery because that was the only way other slaves could have a chance to hear the gospel. High cost and sacrifice was something expected of the body of ...read more

    "Oh, I worry over this thing and I worry over that, But I notice when the atmosphere has cleared, That the bad luck I had looked for Didn't come and knock me flat, And I didn't have the trouble that I feared. Oh, I like to start the morning with an apprehensive sigh, For I find a bit of worry to ...read more

  • Pop-Cork Gun

     | 2,245 views

    POP-CORK GUN Although we are the clay when compared to God’s power, we are not passive. We cannot successfully wage a war against God, but God leaves us with a choice. Remember the story of Peter and the Wolf, how he tries to hunt a wolf with a pop-cork gun? The wolf corners him, but he is ...read more

    Abraham Lincoln’s Attitude On Restoring the South God does not hold our old sins against us, nor does He act like forgiveness is a favor to us, even though it is. When President Lincoln was asked how he would treat the rebellious southerners when they were defeated, he said, “I will ...read more

    "WASTEFUL" AMERICANS A woman fell out of a second-floor window and landed in a slow-moving garbage truck. Half-buried in the litter, she tried without success to get the truck-driver’s attention. A foreign diplomat standing on the sidewalk saw her and quipped, "Another example of how wasteful ...read more

     | 3,933 views

    NIETZSCHE AND CHRISTIANS Friedrich Nietzsche, the philosopher, said of Christians: "Look at whom they worship. Look at this God whom they worship. How foolish and imbecilic to follow one who died, and then to claim that that death is victory! There is foolishness and there is foolishness. There ...read more

  • Spiritual Leadership Begins At Home

    SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP BEGINS AT HOME I like the way Paul Carlson put it in Leadership Journal years ago. He said, "Your spiritual leadership begins at home. In dealing with the family, remember that you have been blessed by the Lord, not beatified. Don’t expect your wife to stop asking you to carry ...read more

    GUNNY SACK DRESSES A lady looked all over a dress shop in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, for something that she liked and could wear. Her final selection startled the proprietor and gave her a new idea. The customer purchased a gunny sack that was covering one of the mannequins during the period between ...read more

     | 2,656 views

    CARELESS LIVING We must face the fact that many today are notoriously careless in their living. This attitude finds its way into the church. We have liberty, we have money, we live in comparative luxury. As a result, discipline practically ;has disappeared. What would a violin solo sound like ...read more

  • It

    "IT" Did any of you see a film that came out in the 90s - "The Adams Family". There's a creature named "it" that is a hand that runs around on its own [mime it]. St Paul tells us the church is the body of Christ. We are all parts of a body interconnected with each other. But if we try to be ...read more

    ONE OF MANY OPTIONS Ask people to raise their hands if they remember a time when businesses were closed on Sunday morning. Note to the congregation that the younger ones (likely those under 40) do not have their hands raised. There is a difference in the generations. One generation remembers a ...read more

    HOLDFAST In the plant world, there are plants who hold fast onto objects like rocks. Their root system is called a holdfast. Many people associate holdfasts with seaweed.

     | 2,547 views

    WHEN A CHRISTIAN GROWS Dr. Bonar once remarked that he could tell when a Christian was growing. In proportion to his growth in grace he would elevate his Master, talk less of what he was doing, and become smaller and smaller in his own esteem, until, like the morning star, he faded away before the ...read more

    DEACONS AND LIGHTS In our church, we have someone that does the maintenance and replaces light bulbs and things like that. They do not want their pastor to do this for two good reasons: 1) I know very little about maintenance, and my church knows that I know very little. 2) They don't want the ...read more

  • Paul And Silas Prison - Chains Of Praise

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Aug 26, 2024
     | 822 views

    Paul and Silas in Prison I wonder what it was like in the prison cell. Chained up hands and feet. Behind bars. Waiting on God. Maybe for a moment there was silence. Processing. Maybe wondering whether or not they were going to be the next martyrs. Then Silas shuffles and the chains rattle. Paul ...read more
