• Do you remember when Magic Johnson announced he had AIDS? He vowed to use that tragedy to promote AIDS awareness. While we might be able to commend him for using his illness for a creative, positive purpose, don’t you think it would have been better for him to stress to young people the real

George Foreman: "The truth is, my relationship with God is the reason I have such a positive outlook on life. Before I found Christ I was blind...but when Jesus came into my life, He opened my eyes and started showing me all the good things that I couldn't see previously. God changed my heart and

Not witnessing to the lost is like telling a person who is sick with appendicitis to just relax, think positive thoughts, listen to some nice music and everything will be fine. No it won’t! He needs to see a doctor, realize that he’s going to die unless he has surgery and has that appendix removed.

THE SERVANT AND THE CHILD
Think about the differences between a servant and a child:
The servant is accepted and appreciated on the basis of what he does, the child on the basis of who he is.

Miss California gets to keep her title. She stood up for marriage, but not for modesty. Is there a contradiction there? We are surely blind if we think the world respects our position when we are not really any different than they are. She certainly represents California well, and probably many

In “Share Jesus Without Fear”, Bill Fay speaks very bluntly about the sin of silence. He states that believers sin when they remain silent and do not share Jesus with others. He says that the sin of silence is a deadly sin and he’s right. We erroneously think that by remaining silent about our

The Truth is that God, who needs nothing, wants us. The Truth is that we–all of us–have discounted that divine presence and desire, perhaps thinking it’s too good to be true. And so, like Peter, the Rock, we turn to God when He invites us to act in goodness, truth and beauty. We listen to Him
