It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians,

                    Let me share astory about the folded up cloth that was e-mailed to me this week: Why did Jesus fold the napkin? An unusual approach to a biblical story. Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I used to ask this question and other Bible Scholars did not know the answer.

                    We live by faith:  But the symbols of bread and wine give us some insight into the life and sufferings of Jesus.  He gave his all to give us all eternal life.(Illustration:  This past week, I have had opportunity to have two lunches with fellow pastors, John and Juan.

                    Some day Susie and I hope to build our “dream home,” but before we do we have to overcome some obstacles.  First we need to talk together about the house we picture in our minds.  We both would like to build a house, but I’m sure that the house I want to build is not the same as the house she wants

                    ILL:  THE TRIANGLE OF MINISTRY
If you picture a triangle – at the top is Jesus because we know “He is the way, the truth and the life.”   At the bottom of the triangle are the different members of the body that God has uniquely placed here.  
In the middle is the Holy Spirit.  (READ JOHN 14.26)

                    You are valuable to God.
I can state that without fear of exaggeration.  
His Word makes it clear that He willing bought and paid for you.
As I said before, a thing is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
God was willing to give His Son and Jesus was willing to give His blood – that is

                    Would You Give Me One?
Don't say you would give if only you had something to give. There was a farmer who asked his neighbor, "If you had a million dollars, would you give me half of it?" The second fellow was amazed at the question and replied, "Of course, I would do that in a minute."

As Dr. Charles B. Hardwick points out (in his sermon “The Promise”, 2nd Presbyterian Church, 12/24/07):
"On that Silent Night, God kept His promise: the God of the universe became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood – moved into a stable, moved into a feeding trough.. . God

                    •	It is easy to view sin lightly in a world that sees sin as inconsequential, but we should view sin as seriously as Ezra did.  (LAB)
•	When we see those around us in sin, we must fall on our knees as did Ezra!

                    Yesterday, with the encouragement of my wife, I got rid of some THORNY WEEDS growing like trees in the back garden. The thorns were now like razor sharp nails and so it was difficult to get to the roots without punctures, scratches and a bad attitude. I knew that if I didn't get to the roots, they
