Good morning everyone, Hebrews 13:18-Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. One of the things I remember very vividly about being a non-Christian was how much I had no desire at all to be around Christians. Not because they were rude, or […]
A pastor I’ve known called me this week and asked if we are seeking for a place to meet. I said, “yes,” and when I asked why, he said his church is closing down and thus his church is available for us to meet. Another failed church… I was sad to see another local body […]
Something that’s been bothering me recently is why I care so much about being right, especially when I get into arguments. Regardless of who I’m arguing with, whether it’s my dad or atheists or critics or even friends, if they even make the slightest of hints that I’m wrong, there is almost a sort of […]
Are we stupid??? We’ve seen what fame and fortune did to Michael Jackson. We’ve seen what fame and fortune did to Whitney Houston. We are seeing what fame and fortune are doing to young stars – Linsay Lohan, Britney Spears, etc. Then, why do we still want fame and fortune? – Just watch American Idol […]
Good morning everyone, Galatians 6:1-3-Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. In watching television even outside of sports, it is amazing […]
“Linsanity” is sweeping across the nation. I have to admit that every time Jeremy Lin plays, I’m watching the highlights on Sportscenter… (Last night’s was crazy!!!) I believe one of the reasons for the sensation is that it further promotes the American mentality, “You can do anything if you believe in yourself.” I know Jeremy […]
Good morning everyone and Happy Valentine’s Day, Exodus-18:17,18-Moses’ father-in-law said to him, "What you are doing is not good. 18 You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone. Looking back as a non-Christian and trying to […]
We cannot give to others what we do not have. That is especially true when it comes to passing down our faith to the next generation. We cannot expect our children to “get” what we ourselves have never experienced. Ps. 145:4, “One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty […]
Having gone to a private religious high school, one of the requirements for graduating was to memorize some 150 verses or so of Scripture and recite it to a teacher. Because my motivation for memorizing was to graduate rather than to help me meditate on God’s word, it wasn’t even a week after I had […]
Good morning everyone, James 4:8-10-Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt […]
