    No one in all of Israel wanted to contend with Goliath. His reputation went before him. He’d never lost one battle, because losing meant death. He’d won every time!

    Live Like There’s No Tomorrow. 1 Samuel 17:45-47NKJV On May 25, 1979, Denis Waitly was desperately trying to catch a flight from Chicago to Los Angeles for a speaking engagement.

    When I ask, "Are you ready for Christmas?" I am asking about more than your activities. I am asking about your attitudes, because every once in a while I hear someone say, "I just cannot get into the Christmas spirit!"

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2012) A. A question we’ll undoubtedly hear many times between now & Dec. 25th is this, "Are you ready for Christmas?" I suppose what is really being asked is, "Have you put up all your Christmas ...read more

    Peace is illusive, yet God offers it to us on the basis of an assertive faith.

    1. "Peas, perfect peas"; "All we are saying is, 'Give peas a chance.'" 2. Some funny church signs: * "Tonight's sermon: Hell. Come early and hear the choir practice." * "7 Days without prayer makes one weak." * "Don't let worry kill you; let the church help." 3. Philippians 4.7-9 Barclay: "To ...read more

    One of these fall mornings when the temperature drops, you're going to walk outside and when you breathe, you'll see a vapor cloud. Watch how fast it disappears: That's the length of your life according to the Bible.

    INTRODUCTION A few weeks ago, I was channel surfing on my satellite radio, and I heard a pop song that kept repeating, “What do you want from me?” I tend to baptize, or biblicize everything I hear, so that phrase made me wonder if people ever stop and ask God, “God, what do you ...read more

Job by the same title Matt 7:12 Of course, this is “Golden Rule” One little boy said it reads, “Do ONE to others before they do ONE to you.” Last week “Do no Harm” Wesley said it this way...”By doing no harm, ...read more

    This seems like such a weak way to do things. Men like to just fight and then it’s done with. What is this forgiveness thing all about.

    Matthew 6 – Part 4 – I CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU! I did something terribly wrong to a lady once by speaking against her and influencing my client (her son) to go against her. I was wrong and eventually my sin caught up with me. I knew I would have to apologise and so I went to her ...read more

    To Forgive

     | 6,830 views

    To err is human, to forgive divine? Not if we are to believe what the Bible says on forgiving. Come and see the great release in our lives when we forgive like God forgives us.

    Introduction When we have been wronged in our own minds we feel a need to hold it against them, to want to get even, you harbor bitterness in your heart. After all I am a man and nobody disrespects me! Does this sound familiar? Does this sound right? Does this mean I am to let him off free? What ...read more
