A famous comedian has a comic routine where he talks about sitting in first class on an airplane while watching other people go by to coach.

I read of one person’s visit to Rwanda. Rwanda is the country in which so many people have recently been killed over religion. When this person went, they said they went looking for monsters.

God's Will Does knowing God's will impact what you do and don't do? There are some things that we know are God's will. We know God wants us to read our Bible, pray and attend Church.

Were it not for God’s grace, we’d all be condemned to a life of sin. In the 1950s a psychologist, Stanton Samenow, and a psychiatrist, Samuel Yochelson, sharing the conventional wisdom that crime is caused by environment, set out to prove their point. They began a 17-year study involving thousands of…

One of my favorite D.L. Moody stories illustrates this point. Attending a convention in Indianapolis, Mr. Moody asked singer Ira Sankey to meet him at 6 o’clock one evening at a certain street corner.

A Tale of Three Cities But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies; they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his evil; all of them have become like Sodom to me, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah. Jeremiah 23:14 (ESV) What…

Sermon for 3 Pentecost Matthew 7:21-29 God calls us to follow his will and build our house upon the rock of his truth and love rather than upon our own wisdom We might even begin to do God’s will and perform miracles, preached the truth and even cast out demons, but at that point have become false teachers…

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Theodore Roosevelt once wrote: “It is not the critic who counts, nor the person who points out how the strong stumble, and where the doer of deeds could have done better. The world belongs to the person who is in the avenue. Whose face is marred with dust and sweat. Who strives valiantly, who may err…

It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena …who, at best, knows in the end the triumph of great achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least…
