                    Holding Up the Bridge
By now you have probably noticed the construction of the new bridge spanning the gap between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze.  Each week new additions to the construction have caught my eye as I’ve driven those three miles over the bay.  Tug boats, barges, cranes, heavy equipment,

                    The Empty Chair
A man’s daughter had asked the local pastor to come and pray with her father.  When the pastor arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows and an empty chair beside his bed.  The priest assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit.

                    GOD'S CHAIR
When I was small, I used to play a game with my friends called musical chairs. Do you remember it? The object of the game was to be in possession of a chair when the music stopped. All through life it often seems we’re caught up in this game.
There are different kinds of chairs and in

                    Those of you who have heard of Evangelism Explosion by D. James Kennedy
know the illustration of the chair. 
You know, a person can say ‘Yes, I see that chair. That’s a chair. I acknowledge that’s a chair. 
I believe that’s a chair. And I think that chair could hold me up if I sat in it.’

A youth pastor once stood before a group of students with two chairs. He placed one on the far left side of the stage and the other on the far right.
He said, “Let’s imagine this chair represents loyalty to God — trusting Him, following His ways, surrendering your heart. And this chair over here
