    "Freedom In A Prison Cell"

    Are we able to rejoice, even when the times get rough? Or does our faith depend on everything “going our way?” There is a cotton-candy like view of Christianity that promises all health and wealth, but it melts away when reality strikes.

    Acts 16:16-34 “Freedom in a Prison Cell” There is a lot to be learned from the example of Christians who live in third-world countries, and don’t have the freedom we might often take for granted. Will Willimon tells the story of a Bishop from Angola who came to visit America a ...read more

Paul and Silas were on a missionary journey ... in the area of Philippi ... and initially things seemed to be going ... pretty well. One day, however, ... things began to change.

    Despite the sin in our lives, and the consequences it had for Him, Jesus loves us with a love that defies human understanding, and forgives us unconditionally.

    We are divided over whether to invest more in charity or more in the church program. A key element must be the compassion that gives from the core of our beings.

    It seems as though just about once a week someone will phone from one of the charity agencies -- the Purple Heart, the Good Will, the Disabled Veterans -- and I always know when they are calling, because they will ask for Mrs. Smith. Nobody asks for Mrs. Smith when they could ask for Margaret ...read more

    A Trail of BLOOD runs from the Garden of Eden to your house! When we sin, we treat Jesus as if he had never lived and never died, while all the while He shed His blood to make us just as if we had never sinned!

    Hebrews 9:22 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
