I AM ONE OF THOSE FINGERS
There once was a Sunday School teacher and a little girl. They had just finished a lesson on our security in Christ. The teacher asked the little girl; "What if you slipped away?"

I’m not talking about perfection, but I am talking about a desire for perfection.

Whenever I hear the word “everlasting” I am reminded of Everlast boxing gloves. I recall living in Moberly, Missouri where the Everlast Boxing Equipment company is located. The building where the company first began production has been abandoned for a new facility; however this presented a bit of

One young man asked, "I am in earnest about forsaking ’the world’ and following Christ. But I am puzzled about worldly things. What is it I must forsake?” "Colored clothes, for one thing. Get rid of everything in your wardrobe that is not white. Stop sleeping on a soft pillow. Sell your musical

I am convinced that as much as we have a corporate responsibility to this commission, it was given to people first, not an organization. Jesus didn't command a church with this commission, he commanded a people – his people. Every person who say they follow Jesus has the unique, individual,

I am reminded of Herman Melville’s description of the pulpit in Moby Dick. It’s actually a description of a real pulpit in the Whaler’s Chapel that a Jewish friend went out of his way to show me in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It reads:
