    The gift of salvation is the door opened to a relationship with God for people who know they’re separated from God and don’t want to be.

    The country once called Zaire is gone. It’s hard to believe how fast it happened, isn’t it? The suffering has been terrible, but 7 months is an incredibly short time for a civil war to begin, run its course, and end, especially a country the size of Zaire. I mean, the Republic of Congo.

    I was watching an old Humphrey Bogart movie the other night, called Action in the North Atlantic. It was about the merchant marine in WWII, not about the navy.

    This message addresses the topic of abortion by looking at two key passages that reveal how God cherishes human life even before conception in the womb. It was written for "Sanctity of Life Sunday" back in 2003.

    On National Sanctity of Life Day in 2002, President George W. Bush made “A Proclamation.” Based on our country’s Declaration of Independence, he declared that Sanctity of Life is the belief “that every human being is endowed by our Creator with certain ‘unalienable rights’.”(1) He said that the ...read more

    Moses had witnessed those who had lived many years, carrying the wealth and riches of Egypt, but they all died in the wilderness and failed to receive the promises of God. Moses prays "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."

    Pilate's Wife

    It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

    Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

    It is Better, to tell the truth, that hurts and then heals than to tell a lie that comforts & then kills. It is Better to be Hated for Telling the Truth than to be Loved for Telling a Lie. It is Better to Stand Alone with the Truth than to be Wrong with the Multitude
