    When Martin Luther died, they found a piece of paper in his pocket that read: "This is true. We are beggars." He is right. Before God, we are beggars, like the Canaanite woman.

    There is something about a sibling that can bring out the worst in us. We might not mind losing, but when it is to a brother or sister, then it’s an entirely different story. We might become more competitive than we normally are. Our patience can seem to be even less with them. They also seem ...read more

    Words are cheap. True biblical love is love in action.

    If you ever feel frustrated with your church—God forbid!—then just read the Bible book of 1 Corinthians. First Church, Corinth was a real mess! People were fighting and gossiping. People were prideful. People were cliquish. And so the Apostle Paul wrote them a letter, trying to ...read more

    Sin is perhaps the biggest of the obstacles because it is connected with all of the other obstacles in our lives that hinder God’s will. Sin has many forms and formats that make deadwood in our lives, but sin has one purpose and that is our destruction.

    THE LIFE LINE Text: John 15:1- 8 Just recently my daughter Lilly looked at the bushes of the parsonage that had been trimmed back. She expressed her concern that the bushes might not grow back. I assured her that that the pruning that had taken place was good for the bushes because ...read more

    The Love Of God

    The fairy tale ‘Beauty and the Beast’ was not original with Walt Disney. In fact, there are similar fairy tales that go back 4000 years! But it wasn't written into story form by a French Novelist until 1740.

    The story and eventual plays and movies that were made about it drew the attention of theologian G. K. Chesterton. This is what he said about it; “The great lesson of the tale of “Beauty and the Beast” is that a thing must be loved before it is loveable. A person must be loved before that person ...read more
