If you talk to mankind in the setting of conducting “Man On The Street” type interviews about the end of the world, you would most likely get a variety of vague, halting comments, and a whole lot of blank if not uneasy looks. It is something they don’t talk about because they don’t want to […]
Throughout the years of my life, especially in the younger years, the present and the future seemed so far from each other. I was told time after time that I should enjoy my youthful years, for adulthood would be there soon enough. That always in my eyes put adulthood in a very bad light. Plus, […]
I have always had trouble with the University of Louisiana sports teams being called Ragin Cajuns. It is not the “Cajuns” that is the problem, but the “Ragin” part is a big problem to me. “Ragin” is a shortened version of “Raging” which comes from the word “Rage” which means “violent and uncontrolled anger.” Bad […]
Jesus one day spoke to His disciples some of the most exciting, optimistic, and yet most misunderstood words in all of Scripture, when He said to them in Matthew 17:20, “…for truly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ […]
This teaching is for parents with college and university bound children who shall soon be or already are immersed in secular and even nominally religious think-tanks in America, and who will be exposed and subjected to some of the most powerful and yet sometimes subtle anti-God and anti-Christ and anti-truth atmospheres in the world. The […]
It is not a church sanctuary, and it is not a coffee cafe. It is somewhere in between – a hybrid. It is now “The Spirit Lounge.” Starbucks Spirituality! (I guess we have now The Gospel According To Starbucks.) Caffe Latte Religion! Dunkin Donuts Worship! The world runs on Dunkin. Now the church runs on […]
Oh how this goes so deep into our hearts, as there are many reading this sermon who are longing and crying out for the salvation of loved ones, not the least among them old hardened sinners who have not repented and believed in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. If I have heard it […]
I am sure you also have heard it all before, nothing really new. Statements like, “What’s the big rush? There is plenty time for things like that. My intention is to someday do this, but not right now. There are a lot things I want to be able to do first, and then I will […]
God has a great plan for your life. Or if you will, God wants you to discover His purpose and plan for your life. The primary message of modern Christianity that has taken over the church and media pulpits is that of purpose discovery and goal setting to realize your life’s meaning. The “purpose fetish” […]
We were reminded of a stark fact this past Memorial Day, and it is: “CHANGE IS THE ONLY UNCHANGING, EARTHLY REALITY.” If you will: “INCONSTANCY SEEMS TO BE LIFE’S ONLY CONSTANT.” We did our traditional Memorial Day celebration by meeting with our daughter, husband, and children at a lovely roadside park for a nice traditional […]
Lest we forget! If we strongly want to pray a prayer that captures the true spirit of II Chronicles 7:14, we do well to remember and pray the prayer as was offered to the Lord before the Kansas House of Representatives on January 23, 1996 by Pastor Joe Wright. I am sure many of us […]
Some might say that the title of this teaching is far wide of the mark. There could well be those who would say, “We are not nervous, rather, we are worried sick about the future.” Some might even go so far as to say, “We are scared to death.” That thumbnail being bitten in many […]
