    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,666 views

    WHile much of the world awaits the arrival of Christmas as a Holy Day, those who deny its real significance seem bent on insisting that it is just another holiday.

    Hollow Day, Holiday, or Holy Day? “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of Bethlehem a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.’” (Luke 2:10-11) If you’ve ...read more

    If you were to ask people, “What is the most important day of the year for Christians?” what response would you get? Probably most would respond, “Christmas.” It certainly looks that way, not only in our culture, but in our churches. And I don’t want to take ...read more

    I’d like to take a short quiz here today. Don’t worry, there are no wrong answers. I’d just like to poll this group to see who had childhoods like mine. For example, by a show of hands, how many of us here have actually cried over spilled milk? Some of us are too old to ...read more

    We live in an age of rapid change. Our lives, our surroundings, our routines are constantly changing— sometimes so fast that we don’t even notice it; we can’t keep track; we can’t keep up. In the process, things that once were necessities to us become quaint, obsolete, ...read more

    Everyone wants to back a winner. Take our allegiance and enthusiasm for sports teams, for example.

  • Transforming Wall Street

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 4, 2010
     | 2,103 views

    God is just as concerned for Wall Street ... and the "Wall Street" of every community ... as He is for the street that runs in front of the church.

    Imagine a father offering these words of advice to his new college graduate, who is seeking a job: I want you to know it's a jungle out there. College has been a cake-walk. From now on, you'll be in the real world. The language is money. And it talks loudly. The goal is to get as much as ...read more

    Marjorie Goff was thirty-one when she stepped inside and closed the door of her small apartment in 1949. She did not leave her home again until she was sixty-one. She did go out one time in 1960 to visit her family. Two years later, she left again to have an operation. And in 1976, when the friend ...read more

    God is keenly interested in children and in family life. God wants the family to be the true laboratory of life, where family members ... regardless of age ... live, learn, love and grow in the Christian graces.

    The photo that was flashed across the country told the heartbreaking story of an American tragedy. A weary fireman held the limp, lifeless body of a little child.

     | 5,843 views

    We Christians spend a lot of time learning how to witness. But, there comes a time when it's time to get off the bench, get in the game and use what we have learned to witness to those who are lost.

    Some years ago, I took a group to Glorieta, NM to attend a Sunday School training week. I became aware that a man by the name of Paul McClung was supposed to teach a specific witnessing strategy. Because of family connections to the McClung’s I decided I would participate in this particular ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,972 views

    The sun was setting over ancient Palestine, as it had done so many times before. The wife of the manger-maker walked to the back door of the little workshop in the back of the house, as she had done so many times before. She went there to tell her husband that the evening meal was ready. ...read more

     | 3,496 views

    At the end of a year, we can choose to let go of things that have weighed us down in the previous year. We can lose some of the baggage that we carry around and choose to replace it with the love of Christ.

    How many times have you stood forsaken at the baggage carousel, watching the luggage track spit out piece after piece of luggage, but never yours? Why is it, when all chance of my suitcase ever showing up is gone, I feel compelled to stand there and watch the few remaining orphan bags circling ...read more
