    When our blessings become our curses, it is because we are holding on too tightly.

    Luke 12:32-40 Paonia United Methodist Church August 8, 2004 Life is hard. No, I mean it. Life in and of itself is rough. We get up, We encounter situations we would just as soon avoid, We deal with people we would just as soon pass on by, We struggle just to make ends meet… And, no ...read more

     | 4,384 views

    Jesus confronts our prejudices and comfort levels by exposing how we treat those who are disadvantaged. Our actions speak louder than our professions of faith and faithfulness.

    Throughout my ministry, people have come to me with situations that need resolution in the third person. These people have said to me, “Pastor, I sure wish my friend could have been here today to hear that sermon. He really needed that one.” Often it’s a wife, or a husband. “I wish my husband had ...read more

    Service to God is not a contract with an expiration date. We’re called to reflect the spirit of Christ, beginning from the first day that we receive his grace, and continuing until he calls us home. Of himself, Jesus said, “I have not come to be served

    I heard about a Union Meeting where the Union Representative was explaining the new Work Contract. He said, "I have great news, Comrades. Management has agreed to lighten our work schedule!” The crowd shouted, "Hooray!" "And we will have a 150% pay rise." "Hooray!" "We will finish work at 4 PM, not ...read more

    “North America is spiritually obese.” (Norm Cheng, Ontario Bible League) The irony is the alarming numbers of people in Canada who have no room for God.

    Norm Cheng, this district’s Area Director for Ontario for the Bible League, spoke at the Christian Business Ministries dinner last week.

    Why Don't We Grow

    Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jul 21, 2007

    We’re not surprised when we grow physically; we expect it. If, by chance, growth doesn’t occur, we immediately know something is wrong and attempt to uncover the problem. The same is true spiritually

    WHY WE DON’T GROW Judges 17:13-15 Statistics show the average productivity of a Christian’s spiritual life is less than three years. Tonight I want to bring encouragement to those who are sidetracked and to strengthen those who are on the right track. Billy Sunday used to say, “If we Christians ...read more
