    Contributed by Brian Bill on May 30, 2003
    based on 78 ratings
     | 27,798 views

    It’s easy to think that bad things happen because God is out to get us. That’s not true. The Bible establishes some reasons why things don’t turn out they way we’d like – personal sin, corporate sin, and evil influences. While we can’t insulate ourselv

    Why Do Bad Things Happen? Brian Bill 4/22/01 I like puns. Here are two are my favorites. Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became ...read more

    based on 119 ratings
     | 6,988 views

    When an umpire makes a bad call our sense of fairness has been violated. Sometimes we scream at God, "bad call" or "not fair God!" This attitude reveals some ugly things about us.

    Bad calls from religious umpires Romans 2:1-4 Intro: Ever seen umpire make a bad call? Crowd boo’s and blood pressure and anger rises. Our sense of fairness has been violated and we are ready to fight when it comes to fairness. We hear of a serial killer getting caught, convicted, then life in ...read more

    The devil is a master at presenting enough evidence to make it appear that he has won but the good news is he is a liar.

    I came to this place today with a word in my spirit; I came to tell somebody that everything is not as it appears. I came to tell somebody who has been overwhelmed by their circumstances {there is more to this than meets the eye} I have got to get somebody to shift out of the natural into the ...read more

    John 12 brings us a perplexing situation. Is Jesus giving the green light to personal jets for evangelists who preach the prosperity gospel? Or is there another point altogether?

    John 12:1-8 “Did His Feet Smell that Bad?” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I must admit, this can be a very perplexing passage of Scripture. Wouldn’t it just be easier to ignore it? Of course, if we ignore it… …we loose the incredible insight ...read more

    Like Abraham, Keturah, Ishmael, Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob, each one of us today have good and bad traits; and the first thing we need to do to have effective and productive lives is to know these personal traits, then control them.

    Some may call it stereotyping, but we connect certain traits with a specific ethnic background don’t we? What do people say about Asians?? What do people say about Germans or Irish People?? What do people say about Italians and Spaniards?? Isn’t it interesting that we have a tendency to think ...read more

    We have all done it! We have all done something not good; then we say to ourselves, “Wow, I was really a poor testimony for God with that one.” Did anyone get hurt? Did you do anything about it? You know, this is actually a good sign when you realize you have done something wrong for God. This ...read more
