It’s my third in a “Best of Pastor’s notes” series this morning, my friends. And it’s my final message to you after 10 years here. I think there could be nothing better than to highlight the following topic as I say goodbye. I think you’ll agree. This note is from July 13, 2003 when my […]
No Ministry Less Than Worthwhile
November 19, 2006 by
My brothers and sisters, this is now the second of three in a “Best of Pastor’s notes” series that I thought I might offer these last three Sundays of me being with you. The first was from the last century you might recall (January 10, 1999!). Today’s is from this one – April 21, 2002 […]
When We’ve Been There 10,000 Years
November 12, 2006 by
“Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23:6)Forever. That’s how long followers of Christ will live with God and each other. And when you stop to think about it, that’s a long, long time! Now to help […]
Fast Asleep In Presumption
October 6, 2006 by
I wanted to bring up Pilgrim’s Progress this week while I’m out of town, beloved. I thought it would be a good thing to help keep everybody in the frame of mind as we’ll be continuing the sermon series on John Bunyan’s Christian classic next Sunday. And I don’t know if you remember the part […]
So Where Was The Big Wedding?
September 30, 2006 by
(Originally posted on 5/21/06.) The Da Vinci Code movie has arrived in theatres this weekend. It’s based on the best-selling book by the same name written by author Dan Brown. One of the issues promoted in the movie/book is that the Bible is full of inaccuracies including when it comes to the person and life […]
“Rest” Is Hard Work
September 22, 2006 by
“Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. And by the seventh day God completed His work which He had done; and He rested.” (Genesis 2:1-2a) Well, my vacation starts in just about an hour and a half this morning, my brothers and sisters. (I hope I don’t seem too anxious […]
Updating The Three-In-One God
June 24, 2006 by
“Where wast thou when I (God) laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.” (Job 38:4; KJV) My brothers and sisters, we’ve finally figured out how to explain the Trinity in more inclusive terms (versus exclusive). And it’s taken us all the way up until the 21st century to do it! After […]
A Day Of Paranoia? This Tuesday Is 06-06-06!
June 3, 2006 by
“You need wisdom to understand the number of the beast! But if you are smart enough, you can figure this out. Its number is six hundred sixty-six, and it stands for a person.” (Revelation 13:18; Contemporary English Version) The headline in the Associated Press article was: “Candidates brace for unholy contest.” What followed centered around […]
Marriage Is Between A Woman And A Dolphin?
January 22, 2006 by
Our world is getting crazier and crazier, my friends. Right from the get-go in 2006 the latest craziness includes – did you hear? – a woman marrying a dolphin. Yes, it’s true. Her name is Sharon Tendler. She happens to be a 41-year-old Jewish millionaire. (Who said people with money were bright?) She was just […]
An Explanation Of The Incarnation
December 30, 2005 by
“[Although Jesus] existed in the form of God, [He] did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but [Christ] emptied Himself.” (Philippians 2:6-7a) How can one possibly describe Christ’s Incarnation and do it justice? There’s a movie my kids like to watch called: “Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.” Some of you may […]
