    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,769 views

    I had this job one summer where I delivered eggs to omelet shops, small groceries, bakeries and such on the East side of the San Francisco Bay.

     | 2,065 views

    If Christmas has become a "cultural" holiday, This message looks at what happens when we try and take out all of the religious elements.

    Have you noticed that every year, people seem more intent on secularizing Christmas? They wish you a “Happy Holiday” or “Seasons Greetings” and then have presentations at school that make no mention of the Manger or the Wise Men, let alone the Christ Child. Now, I may be a little overly sensitive, ...read more

    God still can and does change people just like God changed Saul.

    We learn in geometry that 360 degrees makes a full circle. That is, we start at one point and go all the way around and end up at the same point. 180 degrees is a half circle.

     | 42,559 views

    God can step in at anytime to change times, seasons and situations; He can arise and turn the tables around to favour His children.

    Never look down on anyone. The person you look down on today may be the person you have to run to for help tomorrow. The account of Jephthah in Judges 11:1-11 beautifully illustrates this point. Jephthah was born with a stigma. His mother was a prostitute. Even though there was a shroud of ...read more

    In our day we are seeing a new response to Christ from the caste Hindu. One of the approaches to Hindu ministry that is facilitating many Hindus coming to Christ is through T4T.

    There is a great need for the gospel to reach and bless the Hindu for whom Christ died. In the past India has seen encouraging response to the Gospel from the oppressed communities and from tribal. In our day we are seeing a new response to Christ from the caste Hindu.
