    1 Corinthians 13:13 states the greatest is love, so how well are we doing building a bridge of love both inside and outside the Christian Community?

    You might have heard the statement, “If you love someone set her free, if she comes back, she’s yours, if she doesn’t she never was.” The Pessimist would say, “If you love somebody. Set her free…if she ever comes back, she’s yours, if she doesn’t, well, as expected, she never was.” The ...read more

    It’s amazing what you can find on the Internet. I’ve mentioned before that I’m a Star Trek fan, so I was impressed when I found this. I found a website of pictures of the USS Enterprise made entirely from lego. (http://homepage.mac.com/happywaffle/enterprise/) The interesting thing about the ...read more

    Just like the people in our game had some serious growth issues - so do we! We know from learning about being purpose driven and living life with a purpose that God calls us to GROW. The problem is that we don’t always know HOW to grow and we don’t do a very good job of it on our own. Today, were ...read more

     | 3,465 views

    We want to make an impact on our community and on our world. But so many times the church has failed to really do something for God. Why is that?

    A man had been commissioned by the king of Denmark to lead a band of soldiers against the pirates who were wreaking havoc upon ships along a certain coastal area. So he set up his headquarters on a lonely, rocky, desolate island just off the coast, and after a few years was able to clear the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,999 views

    November 1989: We are at bottom grateful for spiritual values rather than material ones. Ultimate thanksgiving will be to sing praises in a global community and in recognition of our deliverance.

    On the surface, Thanksgiving seems like a holiday designed to celebrate the American experience of material fulfillment. On the surface, at least, it would appear that what we do at Thanksgiving is to celebrate our wealth, our material prosperity, and our achievements. We indulge in an orgy of ...read more

You get a new suit of clothes, you wear it a few times -- maybe only one time, in this heat -- and before you know it, it has to go off to the dry cleaners. No ...read more

    It will be necessary to do some unusual things that will raise the anger of some Christians and will not be understood in the larger community. But the bottom line is getting help to those who need it.

    Several years ago, when housing prices began to shoot up into the stratosphere, we began to see something new in my neighborhood. We saw many of the houses being opened up from the top, and then construction of new second stories or new dormers or even decks and balconies, way up high. What was ...read more

     | 3,411 views

    There are three Ecumenical Creeds which were constructed in the early days of the Church, to communicate Scriptural truth and combat errors. We can use them as tools for evangelism.

    The purpose and value of the Athanasian Creed: ‘all truth’ John 16 v. 13 We are here today because we believe certain things about God and Jesus. If we did not believe them we would be in a different place, a different church. If we did not believe any of them we wouldn’t be in ...read more
