    “I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor and believe me, rich is better.” My dad told me that.

    “I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor and believe me, rich is better.” My dad told me that. I’ve mentioned it before. He was just kidding around when he said it and he sure wasn’t rich, but the saying stuck with me. Funny how some things stick, isn’t it? Everybody’s got an opinion about money. ...read more

    The difference between living and existing can often be traced to one’s philosophy of life. The God-given philosophy of life involves many aspects, but today I’d like to summarize part of that philosphy through three "Remember" statements.

    Enthusiastic Living (Ecclesiastes 9:7-18) Intro 1. Kids pretend things to take away boredom….. (1) We’d walk to the store pretending we are trying to lose Martians who were following us (2) Kids who need medical treatments often try to make games of things… 2. As we age, we tend to lose ...read more

    “The wealth of the rich is their fortress; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.” (Proverbs 10:15 NLT)

    Money Ooh boy. We could spend a while on this one. We will, as a matter of fact. We’ll be on this for a few weeks. Money isn’t a comfortable subject for Christians. Privately, we don’t have much of a problem with it at all. Who doesn’t like money? But publicly, we traverse the subject like we’re ...read more

    Both the arrogant rich and the suffering poor get the same message: “today is not all there is.”

    Almost every commentator and preacher I looked at while preparing this sermon splits this passage of James into two parts. The first part, v. 1-6, is a discussion of the danger of depending on wealth. The second part, v. 7-11, typically focus on patience. Well, I’m going to buck the trend. Because ...read more

    Our purpose as Christians, as the Church, is contained within Jesus purpose for coming to us, which He outlined in Luke chapter 4, quoting from Isaiah 61. And we are sent by Jesus as Jesus was sent by the Father to fulfill Jesus' purpose. Nothing less.

    Wellspring Anniversary Sermon - November 1, 2015 - Luke 14:15-24 The Parable of the Great Banquet Revisited Thank you so much for having me today.

    By nature, Man is very curious about the future. How he wishes to know, today, what will happen tomorrow! Perhaps one of the reasons for such curiosity is to plan and prepare so that he or she is not caught “sleeping” and unprepared. But the future is not

    This life gives us a temporary opportunity to trade our old life for a new one in Christ - all because He traded places with us by dying on the cross.

    Trading Places James 1:9-11 9 The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. 10 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom ...read more

    Who are the "poor in spirit"? Are they rich people with a poverty mentality? Are they poor people who are discouraged? Are they people who don’t have the strength of mind to make it in the world and Jesus wants to take them out?

    Matthew 5 - Part 2 - So all of a sudden Bankruptsy is OK? When we lived in the Ukraine for a month, we witnessed incredible poverty. The beautifully ornate Churches over there have domes which are actually covered in gold leaf, but under them are the beggars. Such a contrast. I noticed at one ...read more

    Thursday in the First Week in Course 2015 Joy of the Gospel The two NT readings we have heard today are linked by a single notion expressed in the words “moved with pity.” Jesus looked on this poor leper and, in the Greek, became splagchnistheis. This is something we have all ...read more
