    Dare we talk about this fire that Jesus mentions? Is it real? Is it a literal place with literal fire and wailing and gnashing of teeth? I am convinced that it is. Let me tell you why.

    When God "invites" us to a banquet, it’s not just another party that we squeeze into our busy schedule if we have the time. It is a royal feast and we lay down our lives, if necessary, in order to attend.

    based on 14 ratings
     | 7,549 views

    This talks about the need for change in the church. Jesus saves, but the church sure doesn’t. Can we change our lives without embracing heresy?

    Ecclesiastes 10:10 – A Change Will Do You Good (NOTE: Most of my thinking for this flows from Brian MacLaren’s book "A New Kind of Christian". Some of this was really quite hard to say. Use with caution.) Pastor Rodney Buchanan shares a thought with us: We used to sing a song entitled, “Give ...read more

    Why did Jesus think forgiveness is so important

    NR 11-09-05 Story: An atheist was sitting under a tree one day smugly thinking: "God, I know you don’t exist - but it you did - you must really be stupid. You created a huge oak tree to carry this little acorn and such a puny plant to carry a marrow. ...read more
