Some are more valid than others and some are just plain lame. I have heard that some girls when asked out on a date, and they did not want to ...read more

    As James talks to us in James 1 about not being deceived, he gives us some reasons that we can know that God is good no matter what our circumstances.

    In the mid to late 90’s people in the church began to say God is good--- all the time--- all the time---God is good. It’s easy to proclaim and to shout aloud the goodness of God when things are going great! It’s easy to brag on Jesus when people are coming to know Christ in large ...read more

    The marginal people storm into the church, insisting that the church should live up to the pattern offered by Jesus. They rock the boat, and in so doing they force the church to remember its reason for being.

    There is a story of a group of the very pious who are waiting in heaven for judgment. As they are waiting and complaining about the wait, they begin to see some of the “sinners” they knew on earth coming into the waiting room: a corrupt politician, an itinerant woman who had been ...read more

The disturbances were described as some of the worst outbreaks in their history. Fierce gangs numbering up to 5000 young white men ...read more
