    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,035 views

    The would-be servant of God, whether waiting at table, ushering at the door, distributing to the poor, or preaching the gospel, must be of a blameless character and reputation.

    THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF STEPHEN THE MARTYR. Acts 6:1-15. It is interesting to commemorate one particular saint who gave his name to a Street, a Road, a Church, and a bench (!) in Norwich, and I dare say in other cities too. Stephen is rightly acknowledged as the first Christian martyr, a ...read more

    Sometimes we need not be in such a rush to get out the door of the church but mediate and reflect on what you just heard and ask the preacher questions.

    Verse 41-43-How we get away from Jesus Notice Mary and Joseph were in hurry to get home. They did not linger there in Jerusalem. They had accomplished their religious obligation and did not want to hang around the church house any longer than they had to. (To eat Sunday Dinner. To watch the ...read more

    The narrow gate is not quite as attractive as the wide one, because you have to leave a lot of old baggage at the door. No carry-ons are allowed.

    I was a pastor in New Jersey when the General Assembly gave our Presbytery a couple of pretty controversial amendments to consider. There were two main issues. The first was the elimination of the “fidelity and chastity” language from our ordination standards. The second one was the lordship of ...read more

    WHERE ARE YOU GOING? If we were to stand in an Airport check in line what would be the most likely question that people would ask us?
