As song leaders sometimes we cause the congregation to “lie” by asking them to sing “Oh How I Love Jesus” or “My Jesus I Love Thee” because although the words come out of the mouth, they are not in the heart. Christianity is a love relationship. You cannot love someone that you do not know, [...]
Are you one of those people who believes “Put off until tomorrow what you could be doing today”? This is one of those times when the fingers pointing back at me outnumber the one that’s pointing to you! What am I talking about? Procrastination. Did you know that procrastination is a sin? I say that [...]
I can remember my father singing “going home, going home, there is nothing to hold me here”. Do you believe that there is a home in heaven waiting for you? There is! Because Jesus cannot lie. He is Truth incarnate. He always told the truth. He said, “if it were not so, I would have [...]
A missionary was going along a backwoods trail in a pick up truck. He saw a man carrying a big bundle on his head. The missionary stopped and asked the man if he’d like a ride. The man jumped in the back of the truck and off they went. Before long the missionary looked in [...]
I have often said “it is the word of God that makes a difference in the life of the people of God”. Why would I make such a statement?

The love of Christ is too large for any heart to hold it. It will overflow into others’ hearts; it will give itself out, give itself away, for the enriching of others lives. Paul tells us to be “channels of blessings”. Will you let the love of Christ flow through you into the life of [...]
I once heard someone say “He who would not fall down ought not to walk in slippery places.” If you don’t want to get involved in sin, don’t hang around those who are! Keeping yourself clean, Keeping yourself pure is a choice and if you step on ice, you are gonna eventually fall. Watch what you set [...]
There are two days that can steal the joy from today. One is yesterday and the other is tomorrow. Paul exhorts in Philippians 3:13-14, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press [...]
Two little boys were walking down the street when a policeman stopped them and asked “Are you boys looking for trouble?” to which the oldest replied, “Yes sir, he is our brother, have you seen him?” Truthfully none of us go looking for trouble, but God has ordered some trouble for you today and everyday [...]
