Waiting For Godot

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 22, 2001

How do we wait for God? 1. We wait patiently. 2. We wait expectantly. 3. We wait faithfully.

A Work In Progress Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 14, 2001

When the real Jesus is seen, he presents problems -- either he is too difficult for us to accept, or he is offensive to our sloppy ways of doing church, or we are just too tired of churchiness -- but his words of life revive our weariness.

The idea of “To Tell the Truth” is that three people come out, and they all stand and give a name – the same name. Then someone reads a few sentences about the person who actually has ...read more
