    Did you know that there are times that the church should be noisy? Not from idle talking and milling around during worship—but a church should be noisy just like the remnant was. A church should be noisy when it’s working.

As a matter of fact, he didn’t have much contact with the outside world at all. He thought that everything he needed was right ...read more

    We’ve all been disappointed at times in life. Disappointment can only happen if there is some kind of expectation. When that expectation is not met, disappointment occurs. Unlike discouragement, disappointment is not a sin. Even Jesus was disappointed at times with the disciples.

    Many have set out to accomplish great things, but have been disappointed in the outcome. It is said that Alexander the Great wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. Alexander was disappointed. Hugo Grotius, the father of modern international law, said, “I have accomplished nothing ...read more
