    Have you ever thought about how KINDNESS, in all of it’s virtue, has a DELIVERING POWER? Acts of our kindness to others and allowing the love of Christ to flow through us can actually bring deliverance to others!

    THE DELIVERING POWER OF KINDNESS I would like to share a story with you that I read the other day that expresses one of the greatest needs in our world today. It is the story of a young man, who never realized the impact he would have on someone else’s life through a random act of kindness. One ...read more

    Realize that some people grow up in families where destructive behavior goes without punishment. My own family thought it was OK to drink to a point where drunken behavior was not recognized as a problem. As a consequence there was very little anger manag

    Zacharias, and his wife Elizabeth, were good people. They loved the Lord and attempted to follow after Him with all their heart. They were well thought of people, both being descendants of Aaron; however, there was one major blight on their life: they h

    For several weeks, I have been meditating on the biblical account of Zacharias being approached by the angel Gabriel and given the news about soon to be birth of John The Baptist. The first thing I want to deal with is that angels are real. There is a great deal that we do not know about angels, ...read more

    Much of the false teaching taking place in Colosse had to do with the minimizing of Jesus. Many people thought He was important but not essential. They had given Him a place in their lives, without recognizing that He demands first place. Jesus was promin

    Intro: There was an article in a national news paper a few years ago that featured a denomination that wanted to radically reach those who feel alienated from church.

    I looked at the Feb 2003 S.S.Columbia disaster for 2 thoughts: 1) where do we go when hard times hit and 2) what happens when Christians wipe out and give up in their faith?

    Psalm 46:1-3 – Crash and Burn Yesterday was a sad day for the world. It was not a tragedy to the same scale as September 11, 2001. In fact, even normal plane crashes take more lives than the disaster yesterday. Yet there is something very sad of the explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia ...read more

    I could really jump with joy and fall in love again with God to know the fascinating aspect of His grace. Never I thought that as I become more acquainted with it, I could even jump higher with GREATER joy!

    If we really know how the Sovereign God exercises grace, we will truly be amazed! After our denomination changed many of its teachings and began to recommend other Christian books, the first one I read was Transforming Grace by Jerry Bridges. Grace is defined in that book as “God’s free and ...read more

    Many people today are in a place in their lives or doing something that they thought they would never do. This goes to show the aggressive nature behind sin. Shirley the words of Jesus are true when he said thief, comes but to kill steal and destroy.

    The question becomes one of what will control your mind. Will your spirit be linked to the mind of Christ and bring glory to God, or will you become carnally minded and let your body controls your thoughts which cannot please God?
