The deepest demonstration of love is to willingly sacrifice oneself for the benefit of another. In our last church one of our members was Pat Thorne. He was a sniper who, atop a tree, saw a platoon of Canadian soldiers walking on a road in the direction of a German contingent. Wanting to warn them

Randy Travis came out with a country song a while back called “Why I Cheat.” Here are some of the lyrics:
A workin’ day too long, when everything goes wrong
And a boss who don’t know I’m alive.
I once had a notion I’d get that promotion,
But now I barely survive.
My children keep growin’

Max Lucado in his book 3:16 notes the following about those living in the dead zone:
a. “He, at this very moment, issues invitations by the millions. He whispers through the kindness of a grandparent, shouts through the tempest of a tsunami. Through the funeral he cautions, ‘Life is fragile.’

There is a song that we sing called, "Enough." Sometimes singing the message of a song can have a tremendous impact. This is one for me. The words are about contentment in Jesus.
"All of you is more than enough for all of me, for every thirst and every need. You satisfy me with your love, and all

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FATHER AND A DAD
A Father isn't a Dad because he has given you 'life'.
Or just because your Mother is his wife.

But we must focus on the good
Reminds me of a story about a newlywed farmer and his wife
Mother-in-law visit demanding an inspection
Genuinely tried to be friendly
Hoping for non-antagonistic relationship
To no avail, nagged at every opportunity
Demanding changes, offering unwanted advice and

He is Joshua's captain,
He is Moses' smitten rock,
He is Ruth’s Kinsman Redeemer,
What Child is this?
He is David’s Covenant King,
He is Esther’s

A few years ago it was estimated to require one thousand laypersons and six ministers one year to lead one person to Christ. It was also estimated that 95 percent of the Christians today never lead a soul to Christ. This is the reversal of Jesus’ strategy of New Testament evangelism. These trends

Lord Jesus, thou who art the way, the truth, and the life; hear us as we pray for the truth that shall make all free. Teach us that liberty is not only to be loved but also to be lived. Liberty is too precious a thing to be buried in books. It costs too much to be hoarded. Help us see that our
