God’s Book of Joy “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:1-2 OUR PURPOSE: God is infinitely glorious. All that God has done in creation and redemption was done...
When we keep the Son at the center of the universe all things hold together in their proper orbit. But when we try to make one of the planets the center, chaos is the result. When we keep God at the center of their lives and seek to honor Him and serve Him, health, order and joy are ours. When any society exchanges the glory of God for that which he has made, and when it chooses to follow a...
Give Me That Book #3The Center That Holds us Together We are living in a day when those who are best, those who have good intentions, lack conviction. In other words they put up with evil.

Give Me That BOOK: An Introduction When the renowned theologian Karl Barth visited America he held a widely reported news conference. One of the reporters asked this famous scholar what the most important lesson he had discovered in his many years of studying the nature and characteristics of God. He is reported to have responded: “Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so.” I think Barth’s confession is as profound as it is simple. A great scholar with...
No matter how hard you try, sometimes you can’t avoid conflict. At the picnic last week I was given the choice of either playing volleyball or spoons. Knowing volleyball and some of the persons who would be playing I decided that spoons would be a much safer place to recreate. I was wrong. A Russian lady tried to yank a spoon out of my hand and I still have scars to prove it. I didn’t let her get...
