    based on 4 ratings
     | 24,212 views

    Your work matters to God. There is great value in honest, hard work. Laziness is a landmine that can destroy a person and anyone around that person.

The plural of oxymoron is oxymora, so here are a few of my favorite oxymora: (1) jumbo shrimp; (2) pretty ugly; (3) working vacation (4) tight slacks; (5) Microsoft works; (6) humble Texan; and the one we’re ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 14,692 views

    God has drawn a moral standard, a line. “That’s my boundary. That’s my spiritual fault line. You better move your life to get in line with it.” And too many Americans are saying, “No, I want to move God’s line and change God’s standard to fit my life.”

    INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles to Romans 13. I think sometimes our families are sent by God to keep us humble. I remember when I was pastoring a church in Alabama, and Jenni was a little girl. She saw me get up to preach and she said, “Daddy, what are you doing before you get up to ...read more

     | 4,159 views

    Many Christians today are running a part-time course in the Christian faith. As a matter of fact, they take their faith in Christ basically as an adjunct to their lives. They apply “wisdom” in serving the living God taking the Most High for a ride.

    Part-time programme is a special package by an institution and it is designed particularly for the working class. This programme is designed in such a way that most of the institution’s rules and regulations that are binding on the regular students do not affect the part-time students. There ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,972 views

    Paul preached to Agrippa a gospel that would save and deliver, but he became only an "almost Chistian." What is an "almost Christian?" How can we avoid this worldview? How to get divine life.
