Not mine, but too good not to share. Wish I could credit the original author. A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services regularly, suddenly stopped coming to church. After a few weeks, the Pastor decided to visit. The Pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. […]
So many times we hear about those who are concerned with the “Big Issues”, such as poverty, war, global warming, recession, education, and the list goes on. But can you really make a change in the big issues? I think that the answer is unfortunately “no”. These things are too large for the individual to

We don’t have an assurance from God that we’ll win every battle. After all, even Christ Jesus hung on the cross and died there. One could argue that the “cross” won the battle on that one. But there is so much more to the story. God could have never shown His glory and ultimate authority

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36449471/ This is quite disturbing on many levels. Although there is a degree of truth to the beliefs of this congregation that God is not pleased with some of the actions of America, they are (hopefully) unknowingly being used as a pawn by the very demonic enemy they would seek to destroy. These unholy actions

This one’s not my original work, but it’s too good not to share. I did a bit of re-writing, but if anyone knows the original author, please let me know. I’d love to be able to give proper credit for this wonderful parable. The mouse peeked through a crack in the wall to see the

After all, the Bible instructs us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25). In church, there would be singing, rejoicing, praising, and worshiping. The
Dark waves swelled like a great black claw, ravaging the small craft, threatening to capsize it as each oscillation crested across the bow. The cruel wind thundered in their ears and bit savagely into their flesh as the disciples fought against the storm, battering their oars against the unrelenting sea, struggling to reach the far-off
Every Christian knows it’s sinful to be an idol worshiper, putting false gods in a higher position than the one true God. But many do not realize the spiritual danger of being an “idle worshiper” and not acting on the gifts and callings God has placed upon our lives. Although we are saved by the
Meekness is not weakness – In fact, it’s just the opposite. Modern English has lost the original meaning of the Greek word praus, which was used to describe a soothing medicine, a gentle breeze to sailors, and a broken colt to farmers.
