Decaffeinated Christianity

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 13, 2023

Decaffeinated Christianity, like decaffeinated coffee, won't wake you up, it won't perk you up, it won't keep you up and it won't get you up; it's just there. It looks right, smells right, almost tastes right -- but NO POWER!

DECAFFEINATED CHRISTIANITY Rev. 3:1 INTRODUCTION A. COFFEE HUMOR 1. How did the hipster burn their mouth? They drank their coffee before it was cool. 2. Why did the barista get fired? They kept showing up to work in a tea-shirt. 3. How are coffee beans like teenagers? Both are always ...read more

The Beat Of Our Heart

Contributed by Je Layugan on Aug 3, 2023

Our heart matters to God. And our heart will either lead us towards God, or away from God. When you listen to your heart now, and every heartbeat is translated into words, what words would you hear?

A heart beats about 115,000 times each day. A heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood every day. A woman’s heart beats slightly faster than a man’s heart. Most heart attacks happen on a Monday. A heart is a symbol of love, life, or anything that is at the center of utmost ...read more

Coming Home On Father's Day

Contributed by David Washburn on Jun 11, 2002

Father’s Day is a day to honor our father, our Heavenly Father. Jesus’ parable about the prodigal son is a pure reflection of a loving father and what it means to come home on Father’s Day.

Dads, today is our day, but Father’s Day has somehow never been held in as high regard as Mother’s Day. Mother’s just have that certain something. After all, whenever you see someone holding a sign or mouthing “hello,” they’re saying, “Hi, Mom,” and usually not, “Hi Dad.” Now, I’m not complaining, ...read more

Patriots For The Cause Of Christ

Contributed by Rick Kallstrom on Jun 9, 2003

When everything they had tried had turned out wrong, and when all had seemed lost, the Israelites cried out to God for help. By grace, God heard the cry of His people and intervened to raise up a leader who could both judge and lead His people.

The year was 1150 B.C. and the Israelites were in terrible circumstances. The military strength that they once had was no longer there and their enemies, the Midianites, had stolen most of their possessions. When everything they had tried had turned out wrong, and when all had seemed lost, the ...read more
