One rule of combat is that you have to deal with the most imminent threat first. In other words, you have to ...read more

    The Pharisees: Stuck In Correctness Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,116 views

    It is easier to be smug than satisfied, to be correct than compassionate, to be religious than real. What we need to do is to cry, "Lord forgive my sin."

    The surest formula for unhappiness is have to be right, all of the time. If you are expected to be one hundred percent correct, never making a mistake, no blunders allowed, then you are asking for a serious heart attack, for high blood pressure, and for plain old unhappiness. It’s an awesome burden ...read more

    I suspect all of us can identify a Barnabas or two in our past who gave us a second chance. Maybe it was a parent or a relative or a teacher or a church leader or a close friend. Christianity means second chances.

    God wants to come to His world, but He wants to come to it through man. This is the mystery of our existence. He wants to come to this world through you. Proverbs 15:23 says, “A man has joy by an apt answer, and how delightful is a timely word.” I enjoyed a Charles Schulz cartoon ...read more
