I love to cook. The only problem is that many of the things I like to cook are things that my wife does not particularly care to eat. I like to cook things in a crock pot or in a pressure cooker.
One of my favorite things to cook is ham hocks and beans. My dad taught me to cook it and we used

We never know who will respond to the love of God and Good News of Jesus Christ, and it is not our job to figure it out, only to keep reaching out to others and sharing the Good News. Mark Early tells the story of Gracia Burnham’s ordeal. She and her husband Martin were missionaries in the

This Christmas, those who have never tasted Christ's love, more than tasting sweetness in the cakes or wine, I would urge you to partake in the sweetness of the Saviour's love by receiving Him into your hearts. Honestly to "ENJOY" Christmas, there is no need for a "Star

Illustration: I love my little boy, I want to give him the very best that I can give him, but sometimes because he is so small and I am so big in order to get my attention, to let me know he wants or needs something, he will pull on my pant leg and I will look down and grab him, lift him up to my

George Barna did a survey and wrote a book about the status of today’s church, and it was shocking. He found that the divorce rate for non-Christians was 23%, and the divorce rate for Born Again Christians was 27%. That’s right, the Christians had a higher divorce rate than the non-Christian.

A bar is the closest thing to a church the world has.
The TV Show “Cheers” was set in the friendliest bar you’ve ever seen.
Sam was like the pastor
The bartenders like were the deacons
Waitresses were like the greeters and ushers

You can’t have Christ and evolution. You can’t have Christ and secular philosophy or psychiatry. You can’t have Christ and Mohammed or Christ and Joseph Smith or Christ and anything. You may only have Christ alone, or no Christ – and anything else you want because none of it will lead you

A young man once fell in love with a girl and saw the starlight in her eyes when he proposed. He bought a ring to give her but he was poor, and it wasn’t a very big diamond. He said to her apologetically, "It is not a very big stone." But she replied, "It is as big as we make it."

One of the things I love to do most is to tell people about how I met the risen Lord. I was a senior in high school. I was just about to graduate. And my English teacher gave us one final assignment. He put a bowl on the table filled with slips of paper. He said, "Each slip of paper has a value on

Queen Victoria was much loved. She made unexpected calls on the farm folks who lived in cottages. Any day might be a royal day, and the Scots had a chair prepared for her visit. Their houses were kept spotless. They were a clean and wholesome people, but her announced visits added to the joy of
