A little league baseball coach was talking with one of his players. The coach asked the boy, "Do you know what cooperation is? What it means to be a team?" The little boy nodded.
"Good," the coach said. "Do you understand that what really matters is that when we win, we win as a team and if we

One of the truths of the Bible given over and over again is you can never be good enough on your own to earn heaven. Because once you sin one time, you can’t brag to a perfect God how good you are. I mean, you don’t impress the engineers of Boeing with the airplane that you made from paper. You

One of my Pastor friends in California was giving an invitation one Sunday Morning when a 5 year old boy came down. Well, he did not know if he was old enough to understand salvation, so, He took him back to his office to ask him some theological question. The more he questioned the lad the more

“I’ve become convinced that the problem with believing the Bible is not based on what we don’t understand about the Bible – but it’s based on what we do understand about the Bible.
“What we do understand challenges everything about us. Jesus calls us to follow him, and that means we have to give

I believe in tithing and have been practicing it since my very first job. My parents set the example and taught me to tithe when I had my first job, which, as I recall, was while I was still in junior high. I began mowing lawns in our neighborhood, and my first customer was a good friend of my

I heard about a 4 year old staying with his Grandma and he said, "Grandma, I want `unch’." She said, "You want what?" "I want `unch’." She said, "You mean, you want lunch!" "Yes, I want `unch’." Grandma said, "I’m not gong to give it to you until you say it correctly. Now, what do you want?" "I

We have a custom of viewing the body, not just out of curiosity or to judge the mortician’s skill but to face reality. In doing that we grieve, which ventilates our sorrow and helps to bring emotional healing and relief.
A young boy in my former pastorate suffered the death of his thirty-year-old

We have bought all the God is only love theology of today. However, the plain meaning of this passage is still in affect today, whether we believe it or not. We need to get serious about it.
However, our modern scientific minds silently scoff at God bringing sickness and death as judgement,

There was a revival going on. The evangelist was a warm, gracious man. He always had a kind word for everyone. As he was walking with the pastor through the church parking lot there sat a Cadillac. In that Cadillac there was a man who was a paraplegic. He was able to drive that Cadillac because of

Glory can be defined. In my research I discovered that it means a desirable brightness that is very rare!
a. The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia states this about Glory - FROM THE HEBREW WORD KĀBHŌDH.

GOODNESS SCALE
Let’s look at it this way. If we place a scale on the wall behind me, with bad being at the bottom and good being at the top, where would you place yourself? We could place Hitler near the bottom, and Billy Graham closer to the top, right? My guess is all of us place ourselves

Yet, in a way Ray was a hero (at least by our culture’s standards). He was selfish. He was self-centered. He was egotistical. He was self-absorbed and was focused too much on power, privileges, and the pleasures that excessive wealth could bring. I say he was a hero because basically Rehoboam was

THE SPIRIT IS LIKE THE WIND
Dr. J. Henry Jowett, the well-known English preacher, was talking to an old salt about sailing a ship and he asked him, "Will you explain to me the phenomenon of the wind?" The seaman replied, "I don’t know what you mean, sir." Jowett persisted, "Well, how do you

A good example to this though is our sign project. We know that based on our regular offerings that we could not afford the gorgeous sign out front. But we also know that in order for God to be able to change the hearts of others, we must 1st get them into church. The sign gives us a means to

Anybody like doing pub quizes? Well here’s a piece of pub trivia for you. The posh name for bit of the church you are sitting in is “the nave” - and that means the “ship”. Why on earth does anybody call the bit of the church you are sitting in “the ship”? It doesn’t look like a ship does it?

THE JESUS EMBASSY
Almost every nation in the world has an embassy that is owned by the United States of America. No matter what nation that embassy is in, the ground on which it rests is U.S. soil. That land does not belong to that foreign country.
Now, if you - as a U.S. citizen - are in Europe
