    Sometimes we wonder where God is when everything is going wrong in our lives. But God never leaves us or forsakes us!

    Money may actually distract us from Kingdom priorities. Some things money cannot buy are compassion for the needy, passion for the lost, and love for one another.

    I begin this morning with an invocation from my favorite poet, the bard of Baltimore, Ogden Nash, who addressed our favorite god in prayer: “Oh, money, money, money; some may think thee holy. But I cannot figure out how thou goest out so fast and how thou comest in so slowly.” Ogden Nash, ...read more

    based on 46 ratings
     | 12,028 views

    The Gibeonites deceive the Israelites into a treaty because the Israelites fail to ask the Lord. We learn to involve God in our decisions, act with integrity when we make a poor decision, and trust God to redeem even those bad decisions.

Have you ever gotten burned by somebody who seemed sincere, whom you trusted, and who turned out to have been lying to you all along and took advantage of you? Sadly most of us can relate all too easily. We have placed our trust ...read more

    Our Lord said, “Go into all the world & preach the good news to every creature.” What is that good news? I think it consists of two things that need to be proclaimed - that would really be “good news” to the world today.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2017) TEXT: Psalm 74:20 A. The scripture passage that I want us to consider this morning is found in the 74th Psalm.

    Recognizing the every moment of my worship is directed towards God changes every moment of my worship. When we read from the Pslams it is quite obvious that the object of their ’obsession’ was not themselves!

    God is the Audience of My Worship Gordon Dahl said, “Most middle-class Americans tend to worship their work, work at their play, and play at their worship.” William Temple, the renowned archbishop of Canterbury, defined worship as quickening the conscience by the holiness of God, feeding the mind ...read more
