We allow our daily concerns to turn into anxiety and therefore sin when our thoughts become focused on changing the future instead of doing our best to handle our present circumstances. Such thoughts are unproductive. They end up controlling us—though it should be the other way around—and cause us

Another result is that we pervert our assignment to care for the earth. Humans have misunderstood the use of having dominion over the earth as a license to do what we want with the earth. After all, since it is all going to be incinerated (rather than purified by a refiner’s fire), then let’s use

A man who lost his job to downsizing was reflecting on his plight. His response wasn’t what I might do in that situation. He said, "I don’t feel too bad. I didn’t realize until I lost my job how I had lost track of my family, how little time I was spending with my wife and my children, and how I

One way baptism becomes a source of division, is when preachers emphasize it so much that they neglect the condition of the heart. It leads to people being baptized for the wrong reasons.

Sez I to myself, as I grumbled and growled,
Im sick of my church, and then how I scowled.

I’ll quit going there, and

OBJECT LESSON: HOLY SPIRIT
I have a children's sermon to try to explain the Holy Spirit. It isn't original to me or to the first person I heard use it, but I think it's powerful.
I take an empty glove and tell the kids that it's a magic glove. I tell them it is amazing because it can pick things
