  • A Glass Of Water

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Aug 12, 2008
     | 5,066 views

    OBJECT TALK: 1. Use a clear glass of clean water to signify the soul of the person cleansed by God. 2. Pour a little dirt into the glass to signify the nature of the World, if we allow it to find a place in us. Make the point, that a little dirt little doesn’t distort the view. 3. Add a lot ...read more

  • Love In The Home

    Contributed by Bobby Scobey on May 3, 2010
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,048 views

    LOVE IN THE HOME If I live in a house of spotless beauty with everything in its place, but have not love, I am a housekeeper--not a homemaker. If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements, but have not love, my children learn cleanliness--not godliness. Love leaves the ...read more

  • It’s Only A White Collar Crime?

     | 3,356 views

    C.S. Lewis died in 1963, but a comment in one of his writings speaks directly to the current opioid crisis. Lewis wrote: “The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its ...read more

     | 2,271 views

    Greek & Roman religions taught very little about personal holiness. A person could bring sacrifices to an idol, say a few prayers & go away from the altar and commit sin freely. No one would ever think he was inconsistent in his faith. This is not so with the life of a follower of ...read more

    I once saw a video of a pastor who had figures, covered with sheets, up in the front of the church. As he started to preach, they were uncovered and you could see monsters and scary characters related to Halloween. The preacher kept asking, “Should these be in the House of God?” The congregation ...read more

    There is a need and a place for programs. If I told you that the programs did not help me, then I would be lying to you, because they did. But Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous could not keep me clean and sober alone! Without the Grace (the unmerited favor) of God, those programs ...read more

    THE DIRT RETURNS Julie Ackerman recalls asking, "How did everything get so dirty so fast?" I grumbled as I dusted the glass tabletop. "I had the whole house clean a month ago." "Cleaning is a way of life, not an event," my husband responded. I know he’s right, but I hate to admit it. I want to ...read more

    Have you heard the saying “you are what you eat”? Well good thing that’s not true because I’d probably be an eggplant or something, but what is true is “you are what you think”. You are what you think, you are what you read, and you are who you hang out with. If you put garbage in, you’ll get ...read more

    CONNECTIONS My truck would not start. I tried several things to fix it and even had the battery checked. I thought I was in for a big expense. I prayed for my truck. A friend told me to clean the terminals, which I already had done. But I cleaned them thoroughly again and the truck started ...read more

    I’ll never forget my brother Ken’s 1971 Pontiac Safari station wagon. Besides being dark brown colored and handling like a boat, it had an exhaust leak so it made some very interesting sounds. It just wasn’t a “chick magnet” kind of car. Well, when you’re a freshman in college, you’re happy just ...read more

    Does anyone know what that piece in the middle of the washer is called? The part in the middle that moves back and forth and shakes the clothes back and forth? What is that called? I’m going to call it an Agitator. What is the purpose of the Agitator? As far as I can tell, its sole purpose is to ...read more

    There was a little boy once who was reading an advertisement for Simpson’s cocoa powder and asked his mother, “Mom, what does ‘100% pure’ mean?” “It means completely clean, with nothing bad in it.” Later, as she knelt by him as he prayed before going to bed, she heard him say the words, “Dear ...read more

    "Mr. and Mrs. Thing" John MacArthur, in his book titled Overcoming Materialism, offers this analysis: Mr. and Mrs. Thing are a very pleasant and successful couple. At least, that’s the verdict of most people, who tend to measure success with a “thingometer.” And when the “thingometer” is put to ...read more

    WHITE AS SNOW Ash Wednesday — it’s kind of a solemn day. It’s the start of Lent —a word which means “spring” in German.
