The Pastor
A Most Unusual Man
(Dedicated to all who have answered the call to preach)
The phone rings: another urgent call,
but he’s ready, the task to meet;
kisses his wife a quick goodbye
and hurries down the street.
A neighbor watches as he goes,
thoughts running through his head:

[207]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – OUR BEHAVIOUR IS NOT OF THE WORLD

When Jesus says the Holy Spirit would convict the world of guilt in regard to sin. What this simply means is what we went through in Bible class this morning: when we compare ourselves to God’s Law and see how we measure up, we don’t like what we see. It’s like we are looking into a mirror, and

And we, the helpless flock of God’s church, need Jesus to be a shepherd for us. For it would be a courageous but stupid sheep who said to his shepherd, "no thanks, I think I’ll take care of this bear on my own." And we would be pretty foolish if we thought that we could handle Satan’s attacks on

Too many Christians today pray what I call “soap opera prayers.” I used to watch a little Days Of Our Lives back in college, and usually when a character would pray on that show, it went a little something like this: “uh, God, I know I haven’t been much of a church person. But I really need you to
