Bing Crosby And Blowing Smoke

Contributed by Doug Newton on Aug 24, 2018

Try as you might, our God-given conscience simply won’t tolerate any attempt to see ourselves as better than we are without squelching deep inside us.

I remember being disappointed when I heard about Bing Crosby’s troubled relationships with his children. In 1983 his son Gary published a book “Going My Own Way” with shocking disclosures about Bing’s abusive forms of discipline. I dropped my pants, pulled down my undershorts and bent over. Then ...read more

The Marks Of Maturity

Contributed by Nigel Heath on Mar 4, 2016

Only when we can say, 'For me to live is Christ' can we truly say, 'to die is gain'. Spiritual maturity is the outcome of a life truly surrendered to Jesus Christ as Lord.

INTRO Away back in the 1980’s when I began ministry at Abbeyhill Baptist Church a fellow Minister in the City was faced with a problem.

Fit To Be Tried

Contributed by Derrick Strickland on Mar 19, 2016

When in the pains of trial the question is never "Why me?" but "Why not me?"

INTRO: 1. What the Lord does here in this passage may surprise us – He invites Satan to try Job. a. Trials is not a sign of failure in your life, but success. b. It’s God’s way of saying, my servant is ‘fit to be tried.’ 2. Why did the Lord have such ...read more
