    Time Flies

    Time Flies, but You Are the Pilot

    Do you ever find yourself asking the question, “where did the time go?”. As I get
    older, that feels like something I find myself asking quite often. Whether it’s in a
    small sense of losing track of time out on the golf course, or a larger scope of
    seeing 28 years of my life pass in what felt like mere seconds. The strange thing
    about time is that no matter how fast or slow it may seem, the clock still ticks at
    sixty seconds per minute, sixty minutes per hour and twenty-four hours per…

    Abraham: Father of Faith and Faithful Father

    Abraham: Father of Faith and Faithful Father

    Out of all the men in the ancient world, why did God choose Abraham to receive
    His blessings and his promises? Abraham had many remarkable traits such as
    his generosity and hospitable nature, his honorable dealings with others, and his
    godly attitudes and respect for the Lord. Even so, scripture reveals another
    important reason that might go unnoticed: God chose Abraham because of the
    kind of father he would be. In Genesis 18:19, God says of Abraham “For I have
    chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to

    (Michael R. Baggett)

     

    “...for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Matthew 9:13).

     

         When you read about the Pharisees do you get the impression they think they are “all that and a bag of chips?” The Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors who were known to overtax people for personal gain. When the Pharisees asked why Jesus ate with sinners, Jesus told them “...I am not come…

    I Want to be a Son of Encouragement

    I WANT TO BE A SON OF EXHORTATION
    (David Weaks)

     

    Barnabas was one of Paul’s most trusted co-workers.  He is mentioned twenty-three times in the book of Acts, and five times in Paul’s letters.  He was clearly a valuable to Paul as a companion and helper, but his greatest asset was summed up in his name and how perfectly it fit him.  His name was Joses, but the apostles gave him the nickname, “son of exhortation,” (Acts 4:36).

    Barnabas was the cousin of John…

    Don't Be Like The Baboon

    Don’t Be Like the Baboon

    There are two interesting stories that concern the behavior of baboons, and each
    contains a practical lesson for us humans.
    Baboons love salt. This led people to invent a clever way to trap them. Some salt
    is placed inside a hole with an opening barely large enough for a baboon’s hand to
    squeeze through. When a baboon gets his fist full of salt he cannot retrieve it
    through the opening. He will then stubbornly refuse to release his “treasure”
    until he is captured.
    The other story comes from a man who preached in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe)
