Talk Is Cheap, The Walk Says Everything.

Contributed by Maurice Woodard Iii on Jun 30, 2006

Do You Have An Attitude

Contributed by Mark Baker on Nov 19, 2006

When The Holy Spirit Comes (Part I) Series

Contributed by J. Martin on May 7, 2005

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 25, 2009

If you live in Queensland Australia like I do, you know we have a problem with Cain Toads and if you live in Airlie you have to deal with annoying little insects called midgies. But that was nothing compared with the Plagues Pharaoh experienced.

Exodus 8 - The Plague! Exodus 8 speaks about the plagues of frogs, lice and flies and how Pharaoh’s heart remained hardened. Speaking about plagues, I have been sick this week and felt like I had one of the plagues. Not wanting to spread my "plague" (flu) around, I spent the week in relative ...read more

God's Discipline

Contributed by Don Baggett on Oct 20, 2009

We have to discipline our children, and sometimes the things they do are so funny, we have to hold back our laughter in the midst of discipline. There’s nothing funny about the sin that God’s people commit against Him.

People are funny, and the funniest people, in my judgement are children. As much as we love our children, we soon find out that they require discipline. When my oldest son was born, I took his picture with me to show people. I showed it to an elderly black lady, and I’ll never forget what she ...read more

Be Like Me! Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Dec 15, 2011
