A few years ago I had the opportunity to travel to Italy on a Mission trip to work with some local missionaries and help them get their church developed. It was a great trip we got to go to Rome which I was really excited about. On our way back we had an 18 hour layover in Munich. So rather than

ILLUSTRATION: Some time ago I saw a painting of an old burned-out mountain shack. All that remained was the chimney...the charred debris of what had been that family’s sole possession. In front of this destroyed home stood an old grandfather-looking man dressed only in his underclothes with a

We missed him. Our chance to change things came and passed and we did not know it was there. A dark-skinned little boy sat through Sunday School classes for three years at a great Baptist Church (First Church, San Antonio) but some one missed him. His name was Sirhan Sirhan, and at age 24 he shot

Has anyone in here actually seen the Titanic up close where it now lies at the bottom of the ocean?
We have all seen photos; we all have read or have even heard stories of the Titanic.
So I am sure we all agree that the Titanic is Real. In a sense, don’t we all have some sort of faith, that

In the years of Communist domination of East Germany there was a symbol which brought hope and comfort to believers in Jesus. A huge TV tower had been erected to broadcast atheistic propaganda. Near the top of the building was a globe-shaped structure housing a restaurant. The remarkable thing

Dwight L. Moody was not very polished with his grammar because he did not have a great deal of formal education. When he spoke to a group of intellectuals at Oxford University he got so excited about the love of God that he said, "Don’t think that God don’t love ya, cause He do!" The passion and

The young preacher was shocked to hear the well-known evangelist utter the words; “Yes, I have spent some of the happiest moments of my life in the arms of another man’s wife.” Then, following a pause, the evangelist added, “That woman was my mother.” A few weeks later as the young pastor was

A man went to church with an angel as guide. The church was filled, but oddly, there was no sound. The organist played, but no music could be heard; the choir’s lips moved, but no song came forth. The pastor went through the motions of preaching, but the man heard nothing. He asked the angel,

I heard Howard Hendricks tell about a time early in his teaching ministry when he worked up a humdinger of a series on prayer. At the end of his study he knew more about prayer than he had ever imagined he could know. He had worked it into a grand presentation and couldn’t wait to preach it. As

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.

Jim Collins’ book, Good To Great, sold more than a million copies. The first sentence captures his main point: “Good is the enemy of great.” Collins believes that most organizations fail to become great because they are good, and we settle for good. Good is good enough for most people.

Some people are only interested in Jesus' function as a sin-sacrifice, but do not want a relationship with Him. They will be disappointed when Jesus says, "Depart from me, I never knew you."

Warren Wiersbe tells us, “Over the years I have seen churches . . . flounder and almost destroy themselves in futile attempts to embalm the past and escape the future. Their theme song was, ‘As it was in the beginning, so shall it ever be, world without end, Amen.’ Often I’ve
