    Some feel that the Christian life is boring! But that is because they have never truly experienced it. Living for God can be an awesome experience. Bob Harrington, the “Chaplain of Bourbon Street”, was famous for saying, “It’s fun being saved.” I believe that you can have a great life. I believe that your life can be blessed. However, I also believe that life is a growing process. I believe that there are obstacles to get over and by. There are some great examples in the scriptures of how individuals got over, when around, and defeated these obstacles. These obstacles keep us from living an exciting Christian life.

    30/06/2013

    The day that I asked Jesus Christ into my life, I started growing. I learned early that it was important to have a strong foundation. There is an oak tree in our front yard. They guess that it is 280 to 300 years old. It is massive and able to support great weight because of its extensive root system. This system covers a large part of our front yard and feeds this mighty oak, helping it to grow. We grow like this. Our root system is our foundation. It is where the nourishment comes from that causes us to grow. It is what holds us up and helps get us through the storms of life. Our problem: sometimes we get away from what was feeding us. When we started - we were those strong, I will never quit, change the world Christians. We drift, don’t eat right, go through a drought, and start asking why I don’t feel it anymore. Where do we turn? “Let me get one of those self-help courses.” “I need to hear something that motivates me.” The issue is really my attitude. I have to go back to His Word, fin

  • "He's Coming!" (Part 28) - "He's Coming!" (Audio)

    21/04/2013

    Almost every time I ask a Bible study group what book they want to study next, I get the same answer; Revelation. The problem with the book is always the same. People want to know what is going to happen in the future. They particularly want details so they can set up some kind of a time line. I think that God WAS revealing some of the things that would happen in the future. However, John wrote this letter to Christians during his time and Jesus has still not come back. I think He was trying to teach us lessons to live our lives by for TODAY. Please join us for The Revealing. It will be a long series, but I’m sure the things He will reveal to you will be worth it.
