The one in particular that I am thinking about said, "God is my Co-pilot." Do you remember the sticker? It took a great deal of heat. Perhaps ...read more

    PUNCTUATING ADVENT You may have chuckled when I started this sermon by talking about the importance of punctuation. But prudent punctuation is no joke.

    THE MYSTERY A mystery, by definition (and certainly in Biblical usage) is something which is not easily understood, but that will eventually be revealed to those who search and wait. Think about it. How interesting do you think it would be if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote his Sherlock Holmes ...read more

    Remember no computer has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.

    That no one except God is perfect but we don’t want people to think we are “that bad.” We pose. We pretend. We put on our plastic masks.
