He had given each of his children, Brandon and Helen a quarter to enter, and then went to continue shopping. Soon he saw his daughter hadn’t gone in. He went to ...read more

    Pew-Sitters are those who come to church, but all they do is SIT and SOAK -- soaking in the goodness of God’s word and the goodness of fellowship. But when it comes to their KINGDOM BUILDING responsibility, their attitude is one of neglect and disregard.

He used to get in the pulpit and tell his congregation that he was running a Gospel Shoe Establishment. That is, he just laid the shoes out there and told the people, “if the shoe ...read more

     | 7,095 views

    God doesn’t expect us to be perfect--God knows us better than that. God does encourage us, though, to acknowledge our sin, seek to turn away from our rebelliousness, and received God’s forgiveness.

Preachers appear to have taken delight in telling the members of their congregation how bad and sinful they were. The theme seemed to be, “If it felt good, then it had to be bad.” Congregational members ...read more
