Who Has Believed Our Message?
Isaiah asked a very important question:Who has believed our message? Do you believe in Jesus Christ our Lord? Do you believe the Good News?

I Used to be a Christian
“I used to be a Christian.” Sometimes we hear these words when we are out witnessing: when we hand out Gospel tracts, do one to one witnessing and open-air preaching. People will come up to us and tell us that we believe in a fairy tale and that we should leave people alone. [Read more…]
Most Dire Warning
Charles Spurgeon, the prince of preachers, gave a most dire warning when he said the following somber words: [Read more…]
Black and White
Young people may not realize this, but tv’s used to be black and white. Police cars back in the 1970’s were called black and whites because they were painted like the police car pictured above. Black and white may be considered an old fashioned term. People nowadays want to talk about tolerance. There always seems to be shades of gray. We don’t like to think in terms of black and white or right and wrong. [Read more…]
Dead Man Walking
A lot of young people talk about zombies and the walking dead. It’s almost like you can’t get away from this subject. But instead of talking about the walking dead, I want to focus on the phrase “dead man walking.” Back in the 1960’s, correctional officers used to yell out “dead man walking” when a death row inmate was taking the last walk down the hallway to his execution (the state of Missouri used to carry out the death sentence by using the gas chamber).

Do You Hide or Confess Your Sins?
We all sin. Even born-again believers still sins. So the question is: What do you do with your sins? Do you try to hide them – like Adam and Eve tried to hide themselves in the garden of Eden after they sinned (Genesis 3:7-8)? Or do you confess and forsake your sins (Proverbs 28:13)? Do you hide or confess your sins? [Read more…]
You Can’t Earn This!
There are a lot of things we earn during our lifetime. We earn grades in school (good or bad). We earn awards or a spot on a team. We earn the trust of our friends. Later on we go to work and earn a living. We get paid for doing our job. We put in the effort and then we are rewarded with a paycheck.

Jesus Gave Himself for Our Sins
Jesus gave Himself for our sins. Have you received or rejected this amazing gift?
No Pain…No Gain!
I gave up diet sodas about two months ago. I used to drink six to eight a day. Now my wife and I are focusing on eating healthier and exercising. I hate giving up sweets, but I know I need to do it. When it comes to exercising, I usually think that I’ll start tomorrow. Why do we put off exercising? We know it’s good for us, so why do we put it off? [Read more…]
Facebook Pulpit Overdrive
I have an old high school friend who tells me every now and then that I need to slow down my religious posts on Facebook. He’s concerned that I’m coming on too strong. In fact he recently described what I’m doing on Facebook as “Facebook pulpit overdrive.” I appreciate his comments and his concerns, but I don’t see myself backing off any time soon. [Read more…]
