GOD DOESN'T GIVE TRIP-TIKS
You remember the AAA Trip-Tiks? You flip page by page and it showed every mile, every hotel you were going to stay at, and every sight you would see. I remember sitting in the back of my parents' car just watching mile after mile go by. And even though I knew what was

COMMITMENT OR CONTENTMENT?
Four masked men came in with assault rifles screaming at the preacher and members during the worship service. They said that anyone who would deny their faith could leave safely, but the pastor had to stay and face the outcome.
Silence fill the church, and finally,

David Brainerd, the famous missionary to the American Indians, proclaimed this truth throughout his ministry. He said, “I never got away from Jesus and Him crucified in my preaching. I found that once these people were gripped by the great evangelical meaning of Christ’s sacrifice

Max Lucado— ”In the Grip of Grace”
God has enlisted us in his navy and placed us on his ship. The boat has one purpose-to carry us safely to the other shore.
This is no cruise ship; it is a battleship. We aren’t called to a life of leisure, we are called to a life of service. Each of

In American history, the Battle of the Alamo stands as a prime example of the kind of decisiveness Jesus calls for. In 1836 a band of fewer than 200 men defended the little mission in San Antonio, against General Santa Anna’s 6,000 Mexican troops. For two weeks they held the Alamo against

THE RING
I told you earlier that my favorite Christmas present was given to me be a lady named Joan Ellis in 1982. Joan is now my mother in law. The gift that she gave me is a wedding ring. It was the set that her husband had given her on their engagement. Her husband Don died in 1978, and she

THE SHOCKING TRUTH
“Imagine if you will that among the Jews there suddenly turns up a man who goes about talking as if He was God. . . Now let us get this clear. Among Pantheists, like the Indians, anyone might say that he was a part of God, or one with God: there would be nothing very odd about

JUST THE RIGHT WORD
“Defining Jesus,” said Max Lucado, “would be a challenge to the best of writers, but John handles the task with casual analogy. The Messiah, in a word, was ‘the Word.’ Be He a fiery verb or a tender adjective, He was, quite simply, a word.”
And I might add that He was “just

What is the first thought that comes to your mind at the name of Jesus? How would you describe his character or emotional makeup? What is your image of Jesus as a man? Isn’t He sort of meek and mild? One man said “I mean the pictures I have of him show a gentle guy with children all around.

My kids love keys. Car keys. House keys. A ring of old used keys that sit at the bottom of their toy box. The mystery for the child is what does this key fit? Even as I write this, our 4 year-old has grabbed my wife’s keys and is about to launch into a world of self-discovery as he moves through

I love the entry in his diary where he says, "And today I submitted to be even more vile: I descended to the level of field preaching."
In essence, what Wesley did was take the church beyond the walls. To do that he preach out in the open—something was seen as heresy by the church leaders of his

I love my boys. I thank God everyday for blessing me with such good children. There is one thing that I believe all children go through. It is a sense of bewilderment when given a series of jobs.
For instance; my children and I can be cleaning up the yard. I can tell Benjamin to go and pick up
