Crash And Burn

Contributed by Pat Cook on Jun 28, 2003

based on 15 ratings

| 2,730 views

I looked at the Feb 2003 S.S.Columbia disaster for 2 thoughts: 1) where do we go when hard times hit and 2) what happens when Christians wipe out and give up in their faith?

Psalm 46:1-3 – Crash and Burn Yesterday was a sad day for the world. It was not a tragedy to the same scale as September 11, 2001. In fact, even normal plane crashes take more lives than the disaster yesterday. Yet there is something very sad of the explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia ...read more

All I (Really) Want For Christmas Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 8, 2002

based on 44 ratings

| 5,895 views

Joseph thought he knew what he wanted: freedom from embarassment, a normal life, a few friends to support him. But in listening to the Spirit he found that what he really wanted was to love and to be loved, to be significant, and to be understood by God.

What do you want for Christmas? I hope there’s somebody in your life who is asking that question. I am not one of those curmudgeons who thinks we should do away with giving gifts at Christmas. Yes, it gets out of hand. And yes, it’s all very commercial. But still, gift-giving is a part ...read more

I could really jump with joy and fall in love again with God to know the fascinating aspect of His grace. Never I thought that as I become more acquainted with it, I could even jump higher with GREATER joy!

If we really know how the Sovereign God exercises grace, we will truly be amazed!

I have a classic story to share with you about a young boy who was once destined to live in royalty…at least so he thought. He was the grandson of King Saul and was destined to one day become the king of Israel.

AT THE KING’S TABLE There have been many stories written about people who were considered to be very poor (i.e. paupers and peasants) who dreamed of one day becoming wealthy (i.e. royalty and living in a palace). Stories like “Cinderella” or “The Prince and the Pauper”. “Cinderella” was only a ...read more

When you consider the coming of Jesus Christ, what do you see taking place in your life? The prophecies regarding the coming of Christ found in the word of God was never meant to bring you thoughts of panic, doom or discouragement.
