    A large family sat around the breakfast table one morning. As the custom, the father returned thanks, blessing God for the food.

    NO DUMMIES ALLOWED Why couldn’t Jesus be more specific? Why couldn’t he just define things in a 30-second commercial or make it easier to understand? I saw in the bookstore the other day one of those yellow books which said “Computers for Dummies.” They had a whole series of them- cooking for ...read more

    I first noticed this in leading people to Christ. They were beautiful before they were “church broke.” Great young converts often start out as radiant Christians and end up only as carbon-copy Baptists. Great young ministers start out as adorable mavericks, but after a business meeting or two and a ...read more

    FORGIVE US OUR CHRISTMASES Have you ever stopped to watch the Christmas rush go by? Christmas struggles are humorous because they touch at the very center of where we live.

  • Why Stick With Milk?

    Contributed by Todd Leupold on Feb 10, 2009
     | 1,932 views

    WHY STICK WITH MILK? Why would someone continue with a staple diet of milk only? Simple. Milk is easily and quickly swallowed. Meat, on the other hand, is much more substantial. It needs to be chewed, savored and broken down before it can be swallowed. Usually, we have to wait for it to cook. ...read more

    Sanctification is a fancy church word that simply means cleaned up and ready to use. Your laundry that has been washed, dried, and ironed is sanctified because it has been cleaned and prepared for use. My son is a tennis shoe freak. It started out with a pair of Jordan sneakers. He has lots and ...read more

    We had a friend one time, a lovely and hospitable woman, who would often have us over for dinner. And she was a great cook. But I couldn’t enjoy her desserts, especially her cakes.

    WORSHIP WARRIOR I like the way songwriter and worship leader, Brian Doerksen, puts it. He says, "Becoming a worshipper means becoming a warrior... And by toning that down...we have sent men and women away from the church in droves. It's time to call them back," Doerksen says, "as worshiping ...read more
