    based on 75 ratings
     | 5,524 views

    We treat the faith like an "all you can eat buffet." We take what we want, and leave the rest. But can we really ignore whole servings of the Word of God?

    by the Rev. Dr. W. Maynard Pittendreigh Sunrise Presbyterian Church Miami Florida September, 2000 When I was in college, there was a restaurant that we loved to go to. It was an all you could eat type of place, which explains why I look the way I look today. We would go and ...read more

    We are engaged today in a battle between world views. Ultimately our battle is not against flesh and blood. At stake are the hearts and souls of America’s youth, who are leaving the faith at an unprecedented rate.

    Illustr. - In a wealthy suburb of Indianapolis, a group of high school students were asked, "Was Adolf Hitler wrong in murdering millions of Jews?" They said yes.

    Why waste time with negative pepole who are never going to make much progress? Because we follow a shepherd who will leave the ninety-nine grazing to pursue one lost sheep....

    One of the things I hear a lot in the business world is that if you want to be successful, you need to hang around successful people.

    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,202 views

    First in a series on dealing with popular illusions. I can deal with not getting everybody to like me if I will live in integrity, love intentionally, let go of negative feelings, and leave it finally to God.

    More energy has been spent on this one thing than on building the Panama Canal, constructing the Great Pyramids, or creating the Interstate Highway system. More energy! More tears have been shed on this one item than on the depredations of poverty, the destruction wrought by great storms, or a ...read more

    Alone!

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,487 views

    Sin leaves us deserted, helpless, destitute, abandoned, without hope and without God! When Jesus carried our sins on the cross, a fellowship was broken that had always existed. Jesus was ALONE!

    Alone? Loneliness is a terrible thing! It can attack anyone…even in a crowded place. Jesus understands the feelings and the fear that come from loneliness. Today we are going to look at the most lonely time in Jesus’ life. It took place on the cross. Matthew’s gospel paints the portrait of ...read more

     | 2,191 views

    We cannot call ourself a Christian and leave relationships! Life is all about relationships. Relationships require constant attention; they are never maintenance free. Every good and lasting relationship is based on love.

    No More Bridge Burning I Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. ...read more

    Jesus assures His followers that He would not leave them alone, but would send His substitute, the third member of the God-head. The Holy Spirit came to empower the church for life and witness

    First-person monologue, as Elijah: the voice of God is not in the winds of popularity, nor the earthquake of instability, nor the fires of self-destruction. It is in the One in whom God has spoken and who will never leave us.

    I’m so lonely. So desperately lonely. It’s been so long since l’ve seen a friendly face. So lonely. So completely alone. I feel … deserted. No one even cares whether I am alive or dead. After all I’ve done for them, would you not think that somewhere in Israel there would be a good word for ...read more

    There is one thing that based on what’s going on in your life that if you could figure it out and do it, it would leave you in a much better place a year from now.

    So you could go home now. We’ve kind of got it all set up for you. You know what to do. Hey thanks for being here. One of the things I struggle with at the beginning of every year is how long do you say Happy New Year. I tend to go into like February so I’m just going to try and say it ...read more
