    Thermometer Or Thermostat: Which Are You?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 9, 2022
     | 5,422 views

    A thermometer tells how hot or cold something or someone is. It doesn’t try to change its environment. A thermostat, on the other hand, alters the temperature. Christians should be thermostats, changing their neighborhoods, families, work, etc.

    THERMOMETER OR THERMOSTAT: WHICH ARE YOU? Mt. 5:16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Pastor told one of his faithful church members, “Mrs. Smith, I appreciate your devotion. You are present at all the services!” 2. Mrs. Smith: “Yes, it’s such a relief, at the end of a long, hard week, to come to ...read more

    Before Jesus reached the cross, He faced unspeakable torture at the hands of the Roman soldiers. There are accounts of soldiers flogging prisoners to death. The point of flogging was to bring them close to death so the crucifixion time would be shortened.

    INTRODUCTION Easter is three weeks from today. We’re counting down the last 94 hours before the disciples discovered the empty tomb. I’m calling this “94 Hours that Changed the World.” We’ve already walked with Jesus from the last Supper to the Garden of Gethsemane ...read more

    Years ago when I was a young banker in Painesville Ohio, we used large leather bound ledgers in which all the accounts were entered by hand. Those ledgers remind me of God's ledgers in heaven.

    There is probably no greater summary of God's love ....than that which is found.... in John 3:16. Martin Luther called it ......the miniature gospel.

     | 1,151 views

    Godly leaders will face opposition and discouragement. There will be times when it seems as if you and the Lord are the only ones who care about the task at hand. In those times, you must remember your calling and remain committed to the task.

    The Commitment of a Godly Leader Nehemiah 4: 14; 19; 22-23 “Conversion is a turning into the right road; the next thing is to walk in it. The daily going on in that road is as essential as the first starting if you would reach the desired end. To strike the first blow is not all the battle; to him ...read more

    Sifting wheat doesn't always mean using a hand-held sifter. The Lord Jesus Christ gave Peter a warning that Satan wanted to "sift" him, but gave him encouragement as well.

    When the volunteer workload is placed on just a handful of people, these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. It is biblical to appoint deacons and train ministry volunteers to assist.

    A donkey in the hands of the Lord, is superior to a donkey of a man. Balaam was the real donkey. If it was not for an obedient donkey, Balaam would have died as a disobedient donkey, and the obedient donkey would have lived. Jude continues the message on false teachers
