    Last week we looked at the prophet who was lied to by another prophet yet the one who was deceived was punished. We looked at Moses not being allowed into the promised land because he struck the rock instead of speaking to it. Today we'll see what happened to Uzzah.

    "IT'S NOT FAIR!" (part three) Recap: In week one I talked about Adam and Eve's one sin that got them banished from the garden of Eden. And I talked about one of the greatest examples of 'it's not fair' in the story of Job. Last week I talked about the prophet who ...read more

    Looks at the type of community God wants us to be from a biblical perspective. Is the vision for your church biblical, are we moving in the right direction? Is our teaching biblical? Is our prayer life vibrant? do we welcome the stranger into our home?

    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

    Imagine a church where everyone is your greatest cheerleader. They believe you can do it. They help you do it. They help when you stumble, and they're thrilled when you succeed. Barnabas in Acts is the perfect example of how to encourage one another.

    The devil, according to an old story, once advertised his tools for sale. On the date of the sale, the tools were placed for public inspection; each marked with a price. It was a treacherous lot of implements…hatred, envy, jealousy, deceit, lying, pride, and so on. Laid apart from the rest ...read more
