Help May Be Closer Than You Think
Some days are better than others. Fridays are good, so good, in fact, that a restaurant chain has taken the initials of a common phrase spoken by most of us on Fridays as their name, “TGIF” (Thank God It’s Friday). At the other end of the spectrum is Monday. The day we return to work [...]
This Is The Day of the Lord
As a child, I seldom went to church. Many of my friends did, but I almost never did. For me, Sunday morning was a day to sleep in and be lazy. Today, most Americans seem to be of the same opinion. For too many, rest and relaxation have replaced worship and praise. Do you think [...]
We All Need Someone Who Believes In Us Part 2
We all need encouragement. Individuals who come to the aid of someone they see to be in moral distress are encouragers. The great encourager in the New Testament is Barnabas, and the two most notable recipients of his encouragement are Paul and John Mark. Paul (formerly Saul) was an outsider to the church. John Mark [...]
We All Need Someone Who Believes In Us Part 1
Have you ever been a disappointment to your family and friends? When it has been made clear to everyone that you are not the man or woman which your parents raised you to be, it is easy to feel shame. It is precisely at such moments, and while dealing with these kinds of circumstances, that [...]

Jesus Encourages His Disciples To Be The Good News
Christians sometimes feel as though they do not fit into society. The news of the day and other peoples opinions of it are often very different from ours. I am often amazed when I speak to people who are not Christians. I am often shocked by the attitudes and opinions which they hold. The reason [...]
Things To Consider Before Becoming Christ’s Disciple
I absolutely despise shopping for a new car. You never know if you got a good deal or not. This uncertainty arises from the lack of proper pricing. Everyone knows that the sticker price is not the real price.
I feel that too often individuals try to apply the ideal of getting a good deal to [...]
Promises On Which We Can Depend
As we grow up the world makes us certain promises. If you work hard and play by the rules then success will be yours. If you keep the commitments you make with others then they will honor the commitments which they have made to you. Live frugally today and you will have plenty set aside [...]
Watch and Pray So We Do Not Fall into Temptation
Do you ever wonder why the church today is not as influential as it was in the past? I do and quite often. I remember when I was new to ministry some twenty-three years ago it was common knowledge that on any given Sunday 42% of all Americans were in church. I remember being comforted [...]
