I have heard stories from the elders that grew up during the “Great Depression” of how they would work all day and never get a chance to play like most kids for the simple reason of survival for themselves and their family. You would ask them but elder when did you get a chance to be a child? They

I heard a little story about a husband who took his wife out on a little lake to teach her how to fish. When they finished and got back home, the neighbor asked her how she did.
The wife replied, “Well, I am not sure. According to my husband, I did everything wrong. First, he said I was

The longer I walk with Christ the uglier my sin seems to me. The closer into communion with God I am the more desperately thankful to God I am for having forgiven this broken, brazen, bold, sinner’s heart. It is only when we have been in the light that darkness is well defined. Interestingly

I love the tragedy, King Lear. In what I think is Shakespeare’s greatest play, the king divides his kingdom in thirds and decides to give the daughter that loves him most the best portion. When he makes his purpose known, the older two begin flattering him shamelessly. His oldest says,
Sir, I

Everywhere I look people offer me rewards if I buy this or shop at their store, or buy petrol at certain petrol stations. I am rewarded on my credit card if I buy a certain amount using their card. People at the Super Market ask me “Do you have a rewards Card?” Buy one get one free. We bought a

Billy Graham said: “Many people argue, "I do believe in Christ. I believe in the Church, and I believe in the Bible. Isn’t that enough? No! You must RECEIVE Christ. I may go to the airport. I have a reservation. I have a ticket in my pocket. The plane is one the ramp. It is a big, powerful plane. I

And I have something else to say it. We share the same story as this crippled man did: we can’t walk and others carry us. The pastor, the elders, church board, somebody from your family… your religion is a second hand religion. Others are carrying you… You are just passive watcher, crippled

As a pastor I try to be creative in teaching my deacons how to be ready to give an answer for the hope that is in us, but i am not the most tidy leader. One of my deacons was trying to invite a man to our church to experience Jesus. The man refuse saying that he didn’t have much to do with

I was using pot and drinking. I gravitated toward rock and eventually into heavy metal and thrash, because this music fed my negative emotions. In fact, there were specific songs that I couldn’t hear for several years later without having a response that put me emotionally back in that place.

I have problems with my spinal cord that keeps me in a great deal of pain most of the time. Some of you know the pain I am talking about. I take the medications and undergo the procedures so I won’t hurt as much afterward. You may have also heard me say I don’t want anyone cutting and probing

Sometimes I find myself like the little boy reasoned in his prayer to God. He told God that "Lord, if you can’t make me a better boy, don’t worry about it. I’m having a real good time like I am."

I was working with some particularly complex lab equipment last week, and it was not doing what I needed it to do. After I got it working, I realized that the words I was muttering under my breath as I struggled with it were not songs of thanksgiving. I won’t quote myself. But I am reminded by
