A local priest and a pastor were fishing on the side of the road. They had thoughtfully made a sign saying, “The End Is Near! Turn Yourself Around Now Before It’s Too Late!” and showed it to each passing car.
One driver who drove by didn’t appreciate the sign and shouted at them, “Leave us alone, you religious nuts!”
All of a sudden they heard a big splash, they...
No scripture when applied out of context cripples our efforts to disciple nations more than 2 Corinthians 6:17. Therefore, “Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.”
Although this verse has been used as a justification for church splits over doctrinal differences causing great division in the body of Christ, more commonl...
Few Televangelists fell from grace, landed with as great a thud, and did so as publicly as Jim Bakker. The founder of PTL (Praise The Lord) Club and Television ministry was not only caught in an affair and had a wife addicted to pharmaceuticals, but he was also indicted for mail fraud (a charge covering the use of any form of public communication from mail to TV to illicit funds for fr...
There are three postures a believer can take regarding culture.
We can Confront Culture like Terry Jones, Pastor of the “Dove World Outreach Center” in Gainesville, Florida. Terry has publically burned the Koran. He blames the government for the attacks of 911. He and his congregation protest outside strip clubs. You get the picture. Terry believes God’s call on his life is to CONFRONT cult...
It is that time of year again. The seasonal celebrations are behind and the routines of life have returned with a vengeance. For many of us one look in the mirror makes it apparent that a little too much celebration occurred over the holidays and so you start thinking about going back to the gym or starting a new diet. It is also a time of year that people set a variety of different goals, from sp...
Another year has gone by. It hardly seems possible that time could march forward as quickly as it has, but nevertheless, here we stand beholding the beginning of yet another year. The older I get the more quickly time marches past and I am now dealing with the realization that the years ahead are likely to be fewer than the ones I have left behind. Since all the days ordained for me were written b...
“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.” John 15:11
Put two negative people in a room with fifty others, and they will usually find each other! Negativity can spread like a plague, and left unchecked it touches the lives of many people, but Joy is also contagious. Joy spreads when we make every effort to celebrate life and to celebr...
“He was alone.
The first tick of time had never sounded, nor had the unending circle of eternity yet commenced. There were neither things created nor things uncreated to share space with him. He dwelt in an age before the eternals, where all there was… was God. Nor was there space for anything else. He was uncreated. He was the ALL.
In this non-time of so long ago, there was...
Community
Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church dail...
