    Fooling The Magician

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 30, 2000
    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,642 views

    We fool the magician (Satan, the master illusionist) by refusing to believe the illusion, pulling back the curtain and trusting the unseen reality.

    Some of you may have seen David Copperfield perform his magic. His act includes a lot of glitzy conjuration, including: levitating himself, being sawn in two, and making things appear and disappear. Using illusion, he has carried the art to the extreme. He has “walked through” the Great Wall of ...read more

    The End

    Everyone wants to know the end of a story. That alone makes people candidates for hearing the gospel.

    Although I’m sure there are exceptions, it has been apparent at least in my own personal observations, that people need to see things through to a finish. Just a few years ago a man named Vernon Howell and his deluded followers attacked ATF agents. Then they barricaded themselves against the ...read more

    If the Body of Christ is ever to be the true example of reconciliation that God wants us to be, we must break down the walls of racial, ethnic, and cultural segregation that currently exist within the church.

The Sterling church is predominately African American; however, they have been moving toward becoming a more racially mixed church. Following this sermon, the ...read more

    While we are waiting for answers from God, there are some valuable lessons for us to learn.

    Most of us have experienced the following: You want to get down the road, but the road is curvy, and you’re behind a slow driver. You have to slow down and wait.
