                    GOD'S FORGIVENESS AND THE JUMP DRIVE
Most of you know I keep most of my office work in the corner of the family room in the parsonage since we moved back.   Most of my study I do early before anyone gets up.  However, for the past couple of weeks I have been coming over to the church office early

                    One of the most enjoyable jobs I ever had before entering the ministry was when I worked for Sears as a salesman in the Men’s Department.  I worked there while I was in high school, and part of the time while I was in college.  And always the most memorable night of the year to be scheduled to work

                    We know that Jesus, in saying “It is finished,” was announcing the completion of all he came to earth to do.  Before he breathed his last, he gave the triumphal cry, which in Greek is “tetelestai”  “Paid in full!”  All the atoning work of the cross was completed.  Jesus did not need to linger for

                    I want to give you a silly illustration of one way this can work. When I was a teenager and just starting to enjoy coffee, I liked to take a cup of coffee with me wherever I went. Of course, those of you who’ve seen me play softball are well aware that I have trouble walking and talking at the same

                    	Some years ago a Christian farmer was deeply concerned over an unsaved carpenter. The farmer sought to explain how that the finished work of Christ was sufficient for his soul to rest upon. But the carpenter persisted in the belief that he must do something himself. One day the farmer asked the
