    based on 9 ratings
     | 12,676 views

    Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God is not going to sleep. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under command; second, readiness for any new command that may come; third, the ability to do

    Opening illustration: A professor in a world-acclaimed medical school once posed this medical situation - and ethical problem - to his students: "Here’s the family history: The father has syphilis.

     | 8,169 views

    Do we as a body of Christ and as a nation glorify God? Time for each one of us to heed to His warnings, stop testing God; come to Him in complete repentance, reliance and rest on Him alone. Let us not give God an opportunity to write on our walls ...

    Opening illustration: Have you ever seen a tragedy coming and could do nothing to stop it?

    Opening illustration: Watch the video clip ‘God’s Valentine.’ Let us turn to Revelation 19 and catch up with John’s vision of the ‘Bride of Christ’ and how she gets herself ready for her Bridegroom.

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 17, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,559 views

    The challenge for the church is not what we do when we call our Sunday morning huddle, but what we do when we break our huddle ... When Satan lines up against us, what difference does it make that we are Christians?

    Opening illustration: 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 $25.00 a ticket to watch the Titans huddle. What if you went to a Titans game and for 2½ hours you watched 11 men stand in a circle and ...read more

    Opening illustration: St. Augustine - so the story goes - was struggling to understand the doctrine of the Trinity. So he decided to go for a walk on the beach, where he saw a little boy digging a hole in the sand with a seashell. The boy then ran off to the ocean, filling the shell, and rushed ...read more

    Opening illustration: I read this past week of a couple (let’s call them Carl and Clara) whose twenty-five year marriage was a good one. Not the most idyllic, but good.

    Opening illustration: We can become distracted and look away from the goal of becoming like Christ. If you saw the movie Chariots of Fire, then maybe you remember the great runner Abraham.
