This is the first post in a series over the next four weeks leading up to Christmas entitled: “Lessons from the Holy Family.” The holy family I’m talking about is none other than the holy family of old: the Virgin named Mary, Joseph her husband and the Christ child. And the first lesson from the […]
Meant For Worship – Part 2
November 10, 2007 by
The Bible declares without contradiction that God and God alone is to be the One whom we worship. We were indeed meant for worship like we saw the woman in the first post of this series worships Elvis. But it’s the God who created heaven and earth (and human beings, too) that’s to be the […]
Meant For Worship – Part 1
November 4, 2007 by
Worship. We hear the term used often. Sometimes the church building is called a house of worship. Sometimes the Sunday morning church gathering is called a worship service. But I don’t want to talk so much about buildings and/or services. What I want to talk about instead is personal worship. A good way of determining […]
All You Need is Love – Part 2
October 7, 2007 by
In Part 1 of this blog post series I spoke of the Beatles’ song: “All You Need is Love,” and how many couples believe that’s what it takes to stay together: l-o-v-e, love.

(Excerpt from the message entitled: The Chosen Ones.) Then he chose twelve of them to be his apostles…. Simon was one of the twelve, and Jesus named him Peter.

Change Comes Easy?
July 21, 2007 by
“Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.” (Matthew 9:17) Change comes easy for Christians? If you think it does I have some land to sell you in Jupiter, […]
Fruit of the Spirit in Song
May 28, 2007 by
It’s an original chorus put to slides in this latest post. The fruit of the Spirit Paul writes about in Galatians chapter 5 and v. 22-23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law” (MKJV). The Contemporary English Version of […]
