Examples from Simeon to Leaving Earth Fulfilled
December 2, 2007
How many of us would like to leave earth knowing that we have accomplished life's purpose"? If you have to go (and we all do)...Isn't that the way? To know that you have achieved a life worth living! To be sure that you have fulfilled God's mission...His plan...His purpose...His design! To be able to say, "Now I can die in peace!"

GOD vs Evil
Is God Good & Great?
November 11, 2007
"Why doesn't God abolish evil if He is great? Wouldn't a good God want to?" So, many come to the conclusion that God must not be that great or all that good - because an all-good and all-powerful God could not co-exist with evil.

The uses of the gifts of the Spirit are for the common good. They should be manifested in love (for one another). These gifts are to build up the church and edify the community.

Have you ever received a gift from someone and did not know how to respond? Maybe you did not know what the gift was or it was not something you could ever have expected? This does not occur when we receive gifts from God! The gifts of God are never disappointing!
A Heart Two Sizes Too Small
December 3, 2006
As kids, we all watched the movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". One of the most memorable lines for me was, "His heart was two sizes too small!" Therefore, he did not enjoy the Christmas season! Sometimes, this happens to us and we ask ourselves if our hearts are two sizes too small this Christmas and if so, how can we fix this?

Satan's Schemes of Short Cuts and Substitutes
November 19, 2006
How would you live if you had a true understanding of eternity? Differently, I bet! Because of our lack of understanding, we settle for the NOW rather than investing for the FUTURE. Our society is a fast food, microwave society, full of self gratification for today. This affects all areas of our lives including our spiritual mentality.

Living Beyond Myself... Part 3
Just Jump In!
October 15, 2006
Growing up in Connecticut, I had a place in my town called "Lovers Leap". It was a cliff that overlooked a lake and one afternoon my friends and I climbed the cliff and were all going to jump off into the lake. Now, how many of you have been in situations like this? You feel anxious, uncertain and all the while, your friends are there yelling, "Jump! Just Jump!" So, as the last of my group to make the jump, I plunged into the water and to my surprise, I didn't drown! In fact, it was kind of cool! So we all climbed back up and jumped again. I would have never known how much fun it was unless I had jumped in the first time.

The Great Gamble
September 24, 2006
Gambling can be exciting! Pulling the lever on a slot machine at the right time, betting on the right football game, or being dealt the right set of cards, all with the hope of winning big cash without having to do any anything for it! This is what keeps Las Vegas and Atlantic City in business. We have all heard stories of people betting their last dollar and winning millions! For young people, they think, "If I could just strike it rich early on in my life, I would never have to worry about going to college or working for the next 40 years."
Obtaining and Keeping Joy
September 17, 2006
We are truly blessed! We have excelled in technology, finances, education, and leisure yet many still struggle with finding lasting joy. This is equally true among Christians who are often so serious, stressed, embittered, overwhelmed, and judgmental. How can this be for followers of the Creator of grace, mercy, and peace? Of all people, believers should be the most free, alive and interesting! We are to have life and life more abundantly!
