Meddlin'

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Oct 11, 2012

Christmas Trivia Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

We are to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, but sometimes they seem so trivial we tend to ignore them. Christmas trivia is a good example. Dr. Luke was a man of detail, and he records for us a number of things that can be called Christmas trivia.

One of the great paradoxes of Christmas is that almost everything the Bible tells us about this most sacred event, is secular in nature. It is filled with what is temporal rather than eternal; physical rather than spiritual; and world oriented rather than heaven oriented. Christmas is really a ...read more

My Message Is All About God Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 10, 2022

A. I read about a minister who gave an unusual sermon one Sunday. 1. He used a peanut to make several important points about the wisdom of God in nature. 2. One of the church members greeted him on the way out and said, “Very interesting sermon, Preacher, I never expected to learn so much from a ...read more

Materialism

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 8, 2010

It starts when we’re young. We go through the ‘mine, mine, mine’ stage. Trying to convey the concept of sharing to a toddler isn’t exactly easy. But possessiveness is something that doesn’t necessarily disappear with age. The ‘mine’ syndrome is something
