                    A family in Texas had a little lion cub. Somehow, they had gotten it and they thought they would raise it as a pet and keep it in their apartment. 
One night they stepped across the hall to visit their friends while their baby boy slept in his crib. When they came back to their apartment, they

                    Living in sin is like having a running car in a closed garage: the more we live in sin, the more Carbon Monoxide will inevitably come out.  It is a byproduct of our exhaust as sinful people.  The visible smoke will also build up over time, and it is harder to see that we need

                    [138].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – IF YOU LIVE IN SIN YOU WILL NEVER WIN
There is nothing truer than the title of this poem.  Those who live in sin and claim it as their own will never win in the end.
Asaph who wrote Psalm 73 had a problem when he observed people.  The godless were always

                    CHILREN’S SERMON
I once heard about a confrontation between a young boy and his mother. 
The mother asked her son, "Young man, there were two cookies in the pantry this morning! May I ask how it happened that there’s only one now?" 
The boy didn’t flinch but said, "It must’ve been so dark I didn’t
