     | 1,135 views

    Ron Jon Surf Shop has a commercial they used to run all the time. You may remember the ad saying, “Ron Jon Surf Shop, not one of many, but one of a kind.” Christians understand that Jesus Christ is not one of many, to fit in somewhere between Buddha, Mohammed, and Confucius. He is not one of many ...read more

    KEEPING THE AQUARIUM "With all our education, our fine buildings, our image of the church, we are doing less to win people to Christ than our unschooled forefathers did. We're no longer fishers of men, but keepers of the aquarium, and we spend most of our time swiping fish from each other's bowl." ...read more

     | 2,106 views

    GROW OUT OF YOUR SHELL From time to time lobsters have to leave their shell in order to grow. They need their shell to protect them, yet if they do not abandon it the old shell would become their prison – and finally their casket. We are not much different from lobsters. To change and grow we ...read more

  • The Truth Is That God, Who Needs Nothing, Wants ...

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 5, 2008
     | 1,566 views

    The Truth is that God, who needs nothing, wants us. The Truth is that we–all of us–have discounted that divine presence and desire, perhaps thinking it’s too good to be true. And so, like Peter, the Rock, we turn to God when He invites us to act in goodness, truth and beauty. We listen to Him ...read more

    Polycarp, the bishop of Smyrna was brought before the Roman authorities and told if he cursed Christ he would be released. He replied, "86 years have I served him, and he has done me no wrong: how then can I blaspheme my king who saved me?" The Roman officer replied, "Unless you change your mind, I ...read more

     | 2,012 views

    Perhaps the most effective way to demonstrate God's values and Christ's love to others is to invite and welcome guests into our homes. I can’t help but think of the movie Christmas Vacation. The Griswalds are having Christmas at their home this year; that means everybody will intrude in a way on ...read more

    Longfellow could take a worthless piece of paper, write a poem on it, and instantly make it worth 1000’s of dollars – and we call this genius! Rockefeller could sign his name on a piece of paper and make it worth millions of dollars – and we call this riches! An artist can take the courses ...read more

    DON'T IGNORE THE CHILD Recently, I read the story of a traveler in China who remarked on the fact that all the time he was there, some two and a half years, he never saw a single monument or tombstone marking the grave of a child. This is very remarkable, remembering the people's ancestor and ...read more

    LARGER THAN THE UNIVERSE Paul is telling us here that the love of Christ is too large to be confined by any measurements. It is larger than the universe. The invention of the Hubble telescope has revised our thinking about outer space. Astronomers are amazed to find out that the number of ...read more

    ACTIVE DISCIPLESHIP Relation to Christ activates and empowers the whole of life when humans choose to act. Without action, nothing happens. It is kind of like getting into a car and just sitting there without turning the ignition and putting the car into gear and pushing on the accelerator and ...read more

    WILL YOU PRAY FOR THE TALIBAN? I am all too ready to say that the TALIBAN deserve God's judgment without really thinking twice. I tend to think of them in the same way that I think about SODOM AND GOMORRAH. But did Sodom and Gomorrah really deserve to be judged? Does the Taliban? If I knew that a ...read more

     | 2,402 views

    Albert Barnes’ commentary for John 1:27: “The latchet of sandals was the string or thong by which they were fastened to the feet. To unloose them was the office of a servant, and John means, therefore, that he was unworthy to perform the lowest office for the Messiah. This was remarkable humility. ...read more
