    So how do we rightly relate to one another in our small groups? I have found there is no reason to "reinvent the wheel" in responding to this question. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in his classic work, Life Together, explains 7 ways to serve your small group.

    Last week, I used an illustration to show that Jesus should be the center of our small group meetings. He is the real leader of the small group. He is alive. He comes to us in the person of the Holy Spirit. And he is Lord. But lying underneath this goal of our gathering is the reality that we ...read more

    This is a very revealing study that shows how the Apostate religious systems will come to an end during the Great Tribulation.

    God has determined to save people in a way that appears foolish to the wisdom of man: through the message of the cross.

    I’m trying to decide what picture to put on my gravestone. I was hoping you would help me decide. How about a picture of a noose to represent a hanging? How about a flame to represent a burning at the stake? How about a sword to represent a beheading? How about a stone to represent a stoning? ...read more

    The scandal of Christ is embodied in Revelation 5. He is God, Equal to Him in every way and worshiped by all.

    I remember a friend of mine suggesting that a waiting till after your death to give people you love something you want them to have is not the best way.
