                    Living the Full Christian Life
As believers, we have received a great inheritance and legacy.  In Acts 17:11, Luke writes, "Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what

                    It’s interesting to look at the people Paul publicly affirmed in his letters. When referring to them, the thing he commended was NOT their oratorical skills, or their personality, or their effectiveness, or their wealth, or any of the other things we often value so much in people and leadership.

Instead of just using normal karate chops and the like, he will use common every day items and create unbelievable fight scenes with them.  In one scene, he fights off dozens of men with a common every day step

The story is told of a king in Africa who had a close friend with whom he grew up.  The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or negative) and remarking, "This is good!" 
One day the king and his friend were out on a hunting

                    A pastor saw one of his sheep in the grocery store and got around to asking where they had been lately.  Was it something I said?  Is it another church?"
The man laughed and said, "Oh, no, we love you and the people of our church."  The pastor was left to his own curiosity. He then
