    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC January 12, 1986 It was the Mad Hatter, wasn't it, who in one version of “Alice in Wonderland” spent his energies darting around the scene, here and there, hither and thither, screaming at the top of his voice, "I'm late, I'm late, for a ...read more

    The Call to Follow Mark 8:31-35 USA Today did a survey asking people, “If you could ask God any question, what would it be?” The number one response was “What is my life’s purpose?'” All of us in the church were blown away by Rick Warren’s book, “A Purpose ...read more

This happens only once every 75 years. Have the SS classes arrange everyone outside to watch this ...read more

    Facebook friends really aren’t friends, they’re casual acquaintances on the internet. But real friendship is a powerful thing that Jesus not only gave us, but taught us to use for His kingdom. What does Friendship mean to Jesus and to us?

    OPEN: I read about a woman who telephoned a friend and asked how she was feeling, "Terrible," came the reply over the wire, "my head’s splitting and my back and legs are killing me.

    The Talented Tenth

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 16, 2009
     | 5,882 views

    The old Wshington-DuBois debate is mirrored in Jacob: his trouble was from his own foolishness as well as from others’ deceit. The way out was to receive God’s promise of greatness and to act now to offer concrete help to those coming after.

    Almost exactly a century ago, American listened to a debate between two great thinkers, two men who had unquestionable credentials, first-rate minds, and powerful pens. Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois. In September 1895, in a speech in Atlanta, Booker Taliaferro Washington advocated ...read more

    "Green Eggs and Ham" may be a Children’s book, but it’s main character has a lot to say about effective witnessing for Christ.

    OPEN: Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham is a long repetitious children’s poem that ends this way: For about the 20th time Sam-I-Am asks: “You do not like green eggs and ham?” To which his friend replies: “I do not like them, Sam-I-am.” Sam-I-am: “Could you, would you, with a goat?"
