The young boy said, “Daddy, if three frogs are sitting on a limb hanging over a pool, and one frog decides to jump, how many frogs are left on the limb?”
His dad replied, “Two.”
“No,” the son said. “Listen carefully, daddy. There are three frogs and one decides to jump. How many are left?”

Quote: The historian Thomas Arnold of Oxford has written:
“The evidence for our Lord’s life and death and resurrection may be and often has been shown to be satisfactory. It is good according to the common rules for distinguishing good evidence from bad. Thousands and tens of thousands of persons

The home should be the place where our spiritual life and everyday life meet. Recover the sacredness of the family table. Throughout history, mealtime, especially the dinner meal, has been considered a sacred time. Remember when the disciples shared a meal with the risen Christ? It was at the meal

I believe that the Church in America is suffering because too many of us are not growing. We are not allowing God to speak to our lives. We are holding onto sin and attitudes that are not biblical, and we go to church every week, we hear a good message and we go home!!

The job of the church is not to impact the church, but to impact the world.
It’s like a huddle in a football game.
67,000 people don’t pay $50.00 a ticket to watch the World champion Giants huddle.
What if you went to a Giants game and for 2 ½ hours you watched 11 men stand in a circle and

Sometimes people think God does not know what they are thinking. But He knows that some people are just "using" God, but they really detest Him.
At a tea for officers and their wives, the commanding general of a base delivered a seemingly endless oration. A young lieutenant grumbled to the woman

By now, I’m sure most of you know the subject of polygamy or plural marriages has resurfaced in the news. A Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints compound was recently raided by Federal officers over accusations of polygamy, child abuse, and teen pregnancies. And isn’t sad that for the 401 children

We have a saying in Northern Ireland about someone or something that is useless: we say it is "wick". And you know when you think about that, in a lampstand a wick, though it is needed for light, does not feature large in the production of light. Of itself it's pretty useless. Of itself it cannot

Dr. Adolph Lorenz, a famous surgeon, refused a drink at a banquet. He was asked "Are you a tee-totaler?" He responded, "Yes, my success depends upon my brains being clear, my muscles firm, and my nerves steady. No one can take alcoholic liquor without blunting these physical powers, which must be

It is like the brand new, high tech fire helmets sent to a big city fire department to try recently. They were shiny, reflected light, had adjustable sizes, even a built in radio receiver. There was only one problem. When they were exposed to high heat they melted. But our lives are like that.
