                    Living Thief.
A minister tells the story of a preacher who asked a man why he did not join the church..The reply was that the dying thief did not join the church and he was saved. "Well," said the minister, "if you do not belong to a church, perhaps you help by supporting missions?"  "No," said the

She hunted for a book in the airport shops.
Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.
She was engrossed in her book but happened to see,
That the man sitting beside

When the homeowner saw the living room was also spattered with blood, he feared the worst for his beloved house pet, a large African parrot. The

Because it was a Christmas holiday, we were at home with our family taking a break from our normal ministry schedule.  We did not go to the church campus for the weekend.
But, while we

                    If you were to die tonight and you were getting entry into heaven, what would you say? If you answer that, and if I answer it in the first person, we've immediately gone wrong. “Because I believed”, “Because I have faith”, “Because I am his”.

                    Joseph Parker said that the thief on the cross proved to be one of the greatest men who ever lived.  On the cross there was no outward indication of His Lordship; there was no insignia of royalty.  Jesus was a captive, condemned, insulted, and crucified; yet the dying thief saw Him as a King and as

                    Somebody once said that life was like an onion: you can peel off one layer at a time but as you do so, its juice gets into your eyes and causes your eyes to be filled with tears. There is something that is known as the trouble of life. I read a comment by one man of God called Matthew Henry.
