Why Me Lord? -Mary Series

Contributed by Don Jaques on Dec 14, 2006

When God chooses a person to do his work, he does so with perfect insight and understanding of what kind of person he needs to get the job done. Our role is not to question his instructions but rather to submit and obey.

I love the movie “A Christmas Story”. You know – the one with the young boy who dreams of getting a b.b. gun for Christmas. It’s got schoolyard bullies and neighbors dogs roaming through the house, and childhood dreams and memories of the way life used to be all wrapped up in one. This year ...read more

Prayer: God's Delays Are Not God's Denials

Contributed by Seth Aryee on Jul 27, 2006

There are Christians who seem to be always getting on. They grow like grass after rain. They are ever adding grace to grace. Every time you meet them, they seem larger and their spiritual stature bigger, taller and stronger. What is the secret?

Do You Know Where You Will Spend Eternity?

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jan 23, 2006

When you breathe your last breath, your eternal destiny is forever determined. Eleanor Roosevelt got it right when she said, “Life is like a parachute jump, you’ve got to get it right the first time.”

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY? “For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the ...read more

Do You Fear The Word Of The Lord? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 18, 2005

The plagues of Egypt get closer and closer to home. God warns the Egyptians how to escape His judgment. Some listen, others do not. What is the condition of your heart when it comes to receiving from God’s Word?

The 10 plagues go from remote and objective, to very personal and subjective. A staff turns into a snake - big deal - stay away from snakes. (I wonder why Moses didn’t do the leprosy trick?). Turn the water into blood - the water was something the Egyptians would have to go to get - and they tried ...read more

Think about the one thing in yourself that you would most like to see changed before you get too old. Or better, what would those closest to you say that they would like to see changed in your life?

About 30 years ago, I started to see poems and prayers pop up on my mom’s refrigerator. They read something like this: “Lord, don’t me become a mean old woman. Help me become sweeter and sweeter as I grow older and older.” I called her yesterday and asked her about those poems and prayers. My ...read more

Funny Things Happen On The Way To The Promised Land Series

Contributed by Scott Carmer on Mar 14, 2005

There is more to gluttony than eating too much. It is a statement to God that you don’t trust God to take care of the future. You have to get all you can today because you aren’t sure of tomorrow.

God's Antidote To Worry

Contributed by Christopher Nerreau on Mar 29, 2005

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005

We all make small errors now and again. But what do you do if you make a big blunder? We learn from Jacob and what he did after Shechem about how to get back with God.

When we make small errors we often just breeze over them or remind ourselves not to do that anymore. But what happens when we make a really big blunder - something that affects other lives and our own in significant ways? Sometimes we panic, or we throw up our hands and do nothing, or we allow ...read more
