Waiting For Godot

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 22, 2001

How do we wait for God? 1. We wait patiently. 2. We wait expectantly. 3. We wait faithfully.

Their waiting is in vain, for although they have been repeatedly told that God is coming, he never has, ...read more

Be On Your Guard Against Greed!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 28, 2001

Through a parable about a "rich fool" Jesus gave a sharp warning about the love of money. Greed leads to a false view of life. Greed leads to a fool’s death.

“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10) That passage from the Apostle Paul’s first letter to Timothy is well known. It seems that many people who know little else about the Bible can quote that particular passage. Perhaps it is familiar and frequently quoted ...read more

Building Bigger Barns?

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 29, 2001

God wants us to enjoy life, but not without a relationship with Him. Beware of the danger of greed and placing one’s confidence in earthly possessions.

Jesus was teaching His disciples when He was interrupted by someone who wanted him to resolve a family dispute over inheritance. He was not really asking for advice.
