Get Him Up

Posted on June 8, 2009 | No Comments
Today’s Post-Modern/Emergent church culture appears to seek to give people what they want in order to gain their loyalty to an organization, community, or purpose. But what the world needs in this age, as in all ages, is to meet Jesus. People still are drawn to Jesus. Where ever He is, people will come.

Choices We Make

It is obvious to me that Bob Feller was driven by something more important than personal acclaim, self-promotion, or mindless ambition. If such a man could look back on his life and feel confident that he had chosen the best path, then think about how it is for the man who chooses to give up this world’s pleasures for the eternal rewards of selfless service to Holy God.

Mercy Trumps Wrong

If you’ve already received God’s mercy through salvation, then it is important that you demonstrate mercy to others so that God will be merciful to you for the sins you commit after salvation. This is why we seek no retribution when we are wronged by others.

Those Boys

Do you remember the young boy who brought the loves and fishes to Jesus’ disciples? His simple demonstration of faith belies the fact that he was, after all, a boy.

You and I need to spend quality time with Christ in private devotions. That is the only way we can really know the “real thing.” We need to read His Word and see Him in The Word as we read it.

A Cry From an Empty Heart

Posted on May 12, 2009 | No Comments
Individual Christians ponder the times long past when a spirit of revival swept over them and they felt close to God.
