ILUSTRATION
God gave me a dream one night, I was on the platform preaching in a large church with a pie shaped auditorium, and there were people there I knew and people I didn’t know. The presence of the Lord had inhabited the place and the glory was falling. God told me, this was my pastorate.

I would like to close with a prayer found a Ravensbruck concentration camp on a piece of wrapping paper near the body of a dead child, a prayer possibly written by the mother of that child.
O Lord remember not only the men and women of good will but also those of ill will. But do not only

Ty Cobb, all-time baseball great, played 3,033 straight games, and for twelve years led the American League in batting averages. For four years, he batted over 400. He was, arguably, the meanest and most unlikable man ever to play the sport. On his deathbed, July 17, 1961, he accepted Jesus Christ

The daughter’s statement of submission is one of the most touching speeches in Scripture (Judg. 11:36). She shared her father’s extreme reverence for God, even if it cost her marriage, children, and life itself. No wonder the young women of Israel honored her ever after (11:40).

When is Jesus coming? The Bible is very clear that no one knows when that event will occur. It is kind of like trying to anticipate the next terrorist attack. People have their best guesses and the terror index goes up and down and so far nothing has happened here in the States. I actually

I was speaking with a man recently who had been in a near fatal car accident and he said that God didn’t seem to care about His injuries. I asked him if he blamed God and He said something to the effect of "Yes, GOD IS TO BLAME. Why didn’t He intervene when I had that car accident, or when my
