                    There was once a pastor who decided he was going to do something different for a change, so instead of a sermon, he gave everyone two sheets of paper. 
On one sheet, the heading read, “THE PROBLEM IN THIS CHURCH IS …” and on the other sheet, the heading read, “WHAT THIS CHURCH NEEDS IS …”
He had

                    It was at a family reunion that a lot of pictures were taken. When the lady took them to the photo place she asked if they could be touched up, “wrinkles and such.” “Yes” he said: Well she said: “Could you take about 30 pounds off of me?” “Yes” he said: And

                    Church Unity?
I read about a church that split, and that split began over an argument at a potluck supper when a lady brought a congealed salad she made with Cool Whip instead of real whipping cream. There’s a book entitled War In The Pews that talks about real-life instances which are absolutely

                    JESUS AND UNITY
Jesus knew that people contribute their uniqueness to churches and therefore they make it stronger. Each person in the body (on the team) contains a host of knowledge, insight and experiences to a scenario, or a situation.
Mike Murdoch makes this observation, "Look at those who
