    Illus: When I played Little league baseball, we lost 99% of the games we played in for the first year and a half. The Bad News Bears was a popular movie around that time and people considered our team, the Bad News Realtors. As the second season begin to come to a close our team was beginning to ...read more

    "The Heart Beat Of Jesus"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 3, 2013
     | 11,575 views

    Years ago I heard Dr. Adrian Rogers put it this way: “the heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.” I agree. In other words if you really want to see change take place, you have to change someone’s heart.

    HEARTBEATS “The Heartbeat of Jesus” Matthew 6:21 I am sure that one thing all of us could agree on this morning is that our world is in deep trouble. America is in trouble and something has to be done. But what we might not agree on is what the solution actually is. Many of us would ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,904 views

    How will others know I am a Christian? How do I live down my past? If we are what we say we are, the facts will speak for themselves.

    Let the facts speak for themselves¨ (John Chapter 9) A) The entire chapter deals with the story of a blind man who received his sight after Jesus spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva. (It was commonly supposed that sickness was the result of sin. Either by the man, in this case, or by ...read more

     | 5,868 views

    If we are dead, numb, and lifeless as is said by some about the Church then what does that say about us. Because we are the Church.

    We are celebrating this week; its Thanksgiving in our Country. I hope Americans truly understand why we have this great country and where the many blessings come from. I hope we are giving to God what is God's. 91% of Americans have turkey for Dinner. And so... I was thinking about Butterball ...read more

    Godly Forgetfulness

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 12, 2014
     | 4,187 views

    If not left behind us, our pasts, our mistakes and sins are ever in front of us, and we spend our time tripping over or dodging them. God wants us future- focused, not past-ensnared.

    The following is a brief homily given during a weekly mid-week event called: "The Feast" at Yonge Street Mission in Toronto, Canada. The future is a big mystery. One thing that we all share in this room is a lack of knowledge about what’s going to happen in the future. Often we think of the ...read more

    FAGEDABOWDIT Last week I talked about how we need to have confidence in God. We need to have confidence in God so we can overcome sin and get through the difficulties in life.

    Don’t Look Back!

     | 19,690 views

    Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

    Opening illustration: If a person sees a house on fire and does everything he can to rescue the occupants, he is heralded as a hero. And that’s the way it should be. Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more
