     | 3,878 views

    Stutzman, an old order Amishman who built a chair for the return of Jesus, was wrong about a lot of things. But he had a passion for the presence of God. Do we?

    Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, believes it’s extremely important that you and I know who we are...in Christ. What we think about our identity—who we are-- can make all the difference in how live this life...in Christ and do Kingdom work.

    I think we have an identity crisis in America...and quite possibly around the world. So many young people gain their identity from the latest fashions, trends or from their friends. Many Christians today, also, have an identity crisis. Most of us perceive our identity more from our family, our ...read more

    Precious Life

    What God says is what matters. Human life is very precious to God.

    There is ample evidence in the Bible that God views human life differently than He does any other life form. One presidential candidate recently said, “I will be a president to the animals, too, because I stand for animal rights.” There are people who have waged war with their city hall in order ...read more

     | 6,495 views

    We should humbly appreciate that we were snatched out of the fire and put in the spiritual limelight by God’s grace. Let us appreciate and glory in being part of God’s church!

    God’s Seeming Detour (Isaiah 65:1-16) 1. Suppose you loved covered bridges & planned a vacation around them. 2. God had your interest at heart; the main road was blocked by a detour sign. After grumbling, you find yourself on an enchanting county road — and there it is — the most amazing covered ...read more

    Israel had repeatedly witnessed God’s power; why were they intimidated? It’s a perception problem called low self-esteem, and it’s how the enemy prevents you from winning. The Israelites quickly forgot their Red Sea deliverance...

    Seeing Yourself As God Does Numbers 13:1-2, 30-33NKJV A man in the prairie observed an eagle fatally wounded by gunshot. He writes: “With his eyes gleaming…he slowly turned his head, giving one last…longing look towards the sky. He’d often swept those starry spaces ...read more

     | 6,209 views

    In Matthew 22 Jesus actually gives us the secret of life that so many search for.

    What is the secret of life? Have you ever been asked that question? Or maybe you have asked that question yourself in one of those kind of quiet, contemplative moments in your life. Maybe one crystal clear summer night you were lying on your back on the grass looking up at the millions of stars ...read more

    John’s Question

    Contributed by Dan Finch on Dec 25, 2010
     | 10,672 views

    Everybody wants to be a winner and be on the winning team. John the baptizer was afraid that he was mistaken about Jesus because he saw him headed toward a cross. We are still a lot like John. Following Jesus is often not about winning.

    It’s hard to be sure when you are in pain It’s easy to be confident when things are going well – when you are young, strong – LeBron James for instance, went on TV and had a whole show just to say that he was going to the Miami Heat. Look at me, look how confident I am. This is going to be great. ...read more

     | 10,309 views

    From this story I believe we can learn how to avoid prideful rebellion against God and His Word.

    David’s Great Sin 2 Samuel 24, 1 Chronicles 21 Introduction: 1. What if I were to ask you, “What was David’s great sin”, what would you say? Your answer would probably have something to do with his adultery with Bathsheba or his murder of Urriah. Actually it was neither ...read more

    The Perils Of Contentment

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 14, 2014
     | 2,941 views

    Contentment is a trap, because it keeps us from growing in ability and interior commitment.

A successful but elderly actor was ruminating over his long career, and his multiple marriages, and told his butler a secret. He said that in his whole life, he had only one length of time in which he had felt true ...read more

    During Desert Storm, I received letters from friends and family assuring me of their prayers.
