The Cold Within by James Patrick Kinney
Six humans trapped by happenstance
In bleak and bitter cold.
Each one possessed a stick of wood
Or so the story’s told.
Their dying fire in need of logs
The first man held his back
For the faces around the fire
He noticed one was black.
The next

Labour mightily for a healing spirit. Away with all discriminating names whatever that may hinder the applying of balm to heal your wounds...Discord and division become no Christian. For wolves to worry the lambs is no wonder, but for one lamb to worry

Some of us fear conflict, like the grass in the African proverb, “when bull elephants fight, the grass always loses.”
Others of us dread conflict much like opening the proverbial can of worms without knowing how to get them back in.
Others of us, however, seem to deal with it quite well like the

“The worst threats the church has ever encountered have come more from within than without. External pressures are like water on a grease fire– causing the church to intensify and spread. Internal strife and bickering are like

The Perfect Church
I think that I shall never see
A church that’s all it ought to be;
A church that has no empty pews,
Whose preacher never has the blues;
A church whose deacons always “deke”
And none is proud but all are meek;
Where gossips never peddle lies
Or make complaints or

Jesus came to a village and found a man there who was blind. He laid hands on Him and prayed over the man, and he was healed completely. The townspeople were so appreciative that they built a church, and they called it the first church of laying on of hands and healing.
So, Jesus goes to the next

I have an old tape by a group called One Bad Pig, a Christian thrash-metal group. About the most obnoxious kind of music available. Anyway, there’s one song on it called "Man in Black", with Johnny Cash being the guest vocalist. It’s quite a blend of country and metal.
At the very end of the

When a puzzle is put together each piece is interconnected to the other pieces. Alone a piece is inadequate; a single piece cannot show you the whole picture. Likewise if one or more pieces of the puzzle are missing then it is defective; it’s lacking an essential part and is incomplete.

A pastor in a small Methodist church in Georgia asked his congregation one morning, ‘How many of you here are Methodist’s?’ Everybody but one little old lady raised their hand.
After the service he asked her what she was and she said, ‘I am a baptist’.
Why are you a baptist
Don’t really know, My

A Baptist Pastor had a dream and found himself fully dressed with a Bible in hand at the gate of heaven. As he was about to enter, he heard so many people crying and wailing in hell. He went to the gate and met the gate-keeper. He asked the gate-keeper “Who are those crying? Is there a Baptist
