    Everyone is searching for love. But many people are listening to the wrong definition of love. The only one qualified to define love is God for He is the source of all love.

    November 10, 2002 I Corinthians 13:4-7 ¡§The substance of Love¡¨ INTRODUCTION I think that I would be safe in saying that everyone wants to be loved. And in their desire to be loved, they will try almost anything. ¡§A young man was determined to win the affection of a lady who refused to ...read more

    Favoritism is a serious mistake because: 1. It is a sin. 2. Appearances can be deceiving 3. God opposes the proud.

    I vividly remember talking with another pastor one day who had been given a very impressive appointment to one of the largest churches in our conference. As he was talking to me and a couple of other pastors, he was explaining how different this church was from his previous experiences. ...read more

    A plea for expository preaching.

    Why I Prefer Expository Preaching To say that there is a great division in the church today over styles of preaching may be somewhat of an understatement.

    He is better than the prophets, better than the Law and the sacrifices, better than the angels.

    About 6 or 7 years ago a new merchandizing craze began, and although at the time I thought it to be another passing fad, it seems that it has not only not died out...but has really only slowed down a little bit in all that time. I’m referring to angels. The merchandizing of everything ...read more
