    We have the world’s best product, Do you have a marketing plan?

    My least favorite course back when I was working on my MBA at the U of MN was marketing. I never could figure out how to position a product so that it would sell. The question was always, should I make it upscale and sell it to fewer people at a higher price, or should I mass market something in ...read more

    Paul had left Berea and with the help of friends made it to Athens, one of Greece's largest cities. He stood alone in that city, sharing the gospel with as many as he could: even some of the elite!

While there he tried to share the Gospel with as many as he could. 1 The Dialogue in the Agora or market place Text, Acts 17:16-21, KJV: 16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit ...read more

    God created mankind, and He gives us our being. Thus, we must not segregate on the basis of race or sex. Flowing from the knowledge of God's creation, and having given His Word, we discover that not all cultures are equal, though all people have opportunity to know God.

    “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and ...read more

    No Life On Mars

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 1, 2023
     | 2,234 views

    When Paul went to "Mars" Hill in Athens he found no spiritual life there. Though Greece had made a great contribution to the world's philosophy and thought, it's offering for salvation was empty. But there was life on Mars when Paul left!

    NO LIFE ON MARS Acts 17:22-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Today I was at the hospital with someone and they remarked how that when they went in for surgery last time, the doctor drew a big picture on their side so he wouldn’t operate on the wrong side. With all that education, you'd wonder how ...read more

    Do You Really Know God?

     | 5,421 views

    Many people in the world today know ABOUT God, but don't really KNOW Him personally. Most people when they say they know God, mean they've heard of Him and about Him. But don't really know Him. My question to you today is, "Do YOU REALLY know God?"

    We live in a self-important society. We take personality tests. We use social media to broadcast what is on our mind. We hear slogans that tell us we’re due something or we deserve a reward. But, in order to live in such a way that God is most glorified, we must pursue a greater knowledge of Him. ...read more

    Prejudice is a social evil present in every culture of our fallen world. It is holding negative attitudes towards others based on generalizations and stereotypes, resulting in discrimination. It is forming conclusions without consulting the facts.

    The Apostle Paul affirms the unity and diversity of all nations in Acts 17. He was addressing Greeks who regarded themselves as superior race. Race matters only to racists; the rest of us care about character. It is distressing how people have twisted this passage to justify segregation. In ...read more
