Charles Colson said, and I quote, “Psychiatry, properly administered, can turn a schizophrenic bank robber into a mentally healthy bank robber. A good teacher can turn illiterate criminal into an educated criminal. But they are still bank robbers and criminals.” D.L. Moody said, “If you educate a

DEACONS AND LIGHTS
In our church, we have someone that does the maintenance and replaces light bulbs and things like that. They do not want their pastor to do this for two good reasons:
1) I know very little about maintenance, and my church knows that I know very little.

When I was a child I loved going to my grandparents’ home in Kerala. I used to enjoy the days but dread the nights. It was in the early 80’s and there were absolutely no streetlights. They had meetings almost every night and coming back from the meetings were so fearful. I was afraid if I would

For me the scariest verse in the Bible is: Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ’Sir, open the door for us.‘ To die and be told by Jesus I don’t know you that is a reality to awful to contemplate, I know it will not happen to me,
