Instead of being a spoilsport, looking down on someone else, you rejoice when a sinner repents, and you join the ...read more

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC June 26, 1988 It is frequently said about alcoholics that they have to hit rock bottom before they can be helped.

  • The Parable Of The Good Father

    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Aug 4, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,245 views

    Today we will look at a familiar passage of scripture commonly called the parable of the prodigal son but I feel a fitting title would be the parable of the good father. We see the selfishness of the two sons set off against the love of the good father.

Luke 15:11-12 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his ...read more

    The waiting father reaches deep into the reservoirs of love, extending compassion to his wayward son. So we also as parents must seek not to control but to guide and then be ready for forgiveness.

    I shall not soon forget the image he presented, this father of the bride. He had smiled all through the vast and elaborate preparations for the wedding; his daughter was a kind of elegant princess, he knew it, she knew it, everybody knew it – and so the princess must have a grand occasion. ...read more
