                    Church history is replete of individuals who saw the importance of fearing God and not other individuals. Following in the footsteps of Paul, John Chrysostom had a period of isolation in the mountains near Antioch in A.D. 373. Although his time of isolation was cut short by illness, he learned that

                    An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a sarcophagus containing a mummy.
After examining it, he called the curator of a prestigious natural-history
museum.

failure!" the excited scientist

                    I have been a pastor for nearly twenty-five years.  During those years, one thing I have noticed in counseling with people, for many, their minds have become garbage dumps.  It is the place where they dump past failures, bad information, broken down relationship experiences, etc.  It is the place

                    OVERCOMING THE GREAT WALL
  In ancient China, the people wanted to defend themselves from the barbaric hordes in the North and they built the Great Wall of China.  It was too high to climb over, too thick to break down, and too long to go around.  Very secure.

                    I always tell couples that I marry about the 50/50 principle of marriage. True or false. Marriage is a 50/50 proposition. Each partner brings their half to make a whole. It’s false of course. It is 100/100. In relationships, two halves don’t make a whole. We joke about our better half. But in

                    Swindoll states, The Bible never flatters its heroes. All the men and women of Scripture have feet made of clay, and when the Holy Spirit paints a portrait of their lives, He’s a very realistic artist. He doesn’t ignore, deny, or overlook the dark side.
