    When you’re spiritually asleep it means you’re unaware of what God is doing right now in the world.

    INTRODUCTION One of the first church jokes I remember hearing is about the deacon who always went to sleep when his pastor started preaching. One Sunday, the pastor decided to play a trick on him. He started preaching, and sure enough, the drowsy deacon was soon sound asleep. The pastor said ...read more

    HOW TO HELP FRIENDS BALANCE OUT THEIR EMPHASIS ON THE "DO'S AND DON'TS" OF SCRIPTURE Some of our Christian friends tend to struggle with an over emphasis on the "don'ts of scripture.

    “I am the resurrection and the life. ... everyone who lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25). Martha believed it ... and I hope and pray that when the New Jerusalem is ready and Jesus commands all who believe in Him to awaken from their sleep that you are there too, amen?

    Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem … to die … when He received word that His friend, Lazarus, was sick. Jesus’ reaction was strange. He didn’t rush off to Bethany to heal His friend. “This illness does not lead to death,” says Jesus, “rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be ...read more

    What Makes for Jaw-dropping Faith? 1) A God-given view of self; 2) A God-given view of Christ

     | 7,836 views

    Jesus promised that He would build his church and Satan would not be able to stop it from growing. Satan and all his legions can storm out of the gates of hell to attack it, but they will not overpower it or destroy it or stop it from completing its mission.

    One of the most difficult things to do seems to be to forgive. God requires it of us because HE is forgiving.

    At a convention with their wives, two businessmen who had been roommates in college crossed paths. They sat in the lobby all night talking. They knew they would be in trouble with their wives.

     | 5,261 views

    Many people have a hard time understanding or accepting the idea of God as a judge. We learn about judgment and the nature of God in this section. The news actually is good!

    There’s probably one question I get more than any other from those who do not yet know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior: “How can a loving God send anyone to hell. How can a loving God judge anyone? Didn’t Jesus say ‘judge not lest ye be judged’?” Judgment is a very difficult subject to talk ...read more
