So often, it seems like people and even churches want grace without responsibility. With forgiveness comes a responsibility to be forgiving. Our response comes through the ability to confess our love to Jesus and confess our shortcomings, our flaws, and our sins. It is the response to grace that

Pastor's Sermon Aimed At ME
My pastor shapes his sermons
From A to final Z
In clear and forthright language,
And aims them straight at me.
And when he gets to preaching,
I look around to see
If there might be another
Deserving more than me.
But every soul

The physical prosperity the apostle John wished for Gaius was held in relationship with Gaius’ preexistent spiritual prosperity. John writes; “even as thy soul prospereth.” To wish physical prosperity on someone without their first attaining spiritual maturity is dangerous. Why? Because...

SECURITY
When something historic occurs, we remember it the rest of our lives. Where were you on September 11, 2001? I was listening to the radio after taking my wife to work. Suddenly, an announcer interrupted and said there was "an incident" in New York. The reports worsened during that

THROWING IN THE TOWEL
I don't know whether you are a lover of boxing as a sport or not, but when a boxer has had enough, the trainer can 'throw in the towel." This signifies we just can't go on any further... We often use the turn of phrase to say were giving up.
If were honest, there may be

IF THEY WERE OUR OWN
If you boy or my girl were in darkness –
Were groping alone in the night,
Soul—weary and helplessly seeking
In vain for a glimmer of light,
Thro’ the dangerous depths of a forest,
Bewildered and frightened and lost,
Would I be at home by the fireside
Demurring and counting

It’s not too late for any of us. But we can’t guarantee that for even the next few seconds. When God gives us the one more last chance we ask for, it may really be the last one he plans to give us.

Poet Roxie Lusk Smith wrote:
“The Masters Touch”
Deep beyond my mind I know of God’s unfailing skill;
He makes the scope of time to bow to his all-mighty will.
I cannot doubt the master’s art remolding such as I,
An erring child, with willful heart; remade by Him on high.
My weakened soul was

When I was young in Christ I was struggling with some temptations, and no one really could understand. Only God and me could. So in attempt to remind my self what I needed to do in the midst of temptation, while in a sober mind unclouded by temptation I wrote myself a letter something to the affect

Ah, what an easy job is his,
The man who’s in the preaching biz!
He has but little work to do,
For all he does the whole week through
Is just to call upon the flock
As regularly as the clock;
To cheer the sick who groan in bed,
To preach a sermon for the dead;
To teach the sinner righteousness,

I love to step inside a church,
To rest, and think, and pray;
The quiet, calm, and holy place
Can drive all cares away.
I feel that from these simple walls
There breathes a moving sound
Of sacred music, murmured prayers,
Caught in the endless round.
Of all that makes our human life;
Birth,

I don’t want to Test God
I don’t want to reject God
All I want is for Him to bring me into that place where I can hear his voice. We need to be real with God. Just like God called Adam from the midst of the Garden. And asked “ Where are you?” The Savior is calling today and saying Come unto

I want to close with this little poem entitled “Jesus” written by Charlotte S.C. Panton.
Lonely? No, not lonely
With Jesus standing by;
His presence always cheers me,
I know that He is nigh.
Friendless? No, not friendless
Since Jesus is my friend;
I change, but he remaineth
True, faithful to the

Psalm 51 (AD)
The only sacrifice you ever desired was done
On that rugged Cross by Your own holy Son.
In Your sight, I have sinned only against Thee.
The painful burden of that sin is ever with me.
If You took my life, it would be just and well.
You have every right to send my soul to Hell.
