A Trend Away - Unpopular Realities

It seems as if the following realities (truths) of God have become unpopular even avoided altogether or even changed among many younger evangelicals.

I have sin

Its been a long time since I took a good look at myself in the mirror. I did that this morning and to my horror, I noticed that I had put on weight at all the wrong places! I am suddenly guilty of 4 of the 7 deadly sins - sloth, gluttony, pride and wrath. I need to DO something about this...

Looking Back

Read Galatians 1:11-24 Can you look back at a point in your life and see a marked change from who you once were? Or, does your life still reflect much of the same things you did several years ago? Maybe you still use foul language or you’re still doing those things you knew you needed to stop...

The Mercy of God

As I was looking through my files to see what to post next, I came to this one. As I began to read it, I glanced at the date in the header. It said, "06/25/08". Now, that's today! So I looked at the date that it was saved last, and it said 2005. So here's the question...how did today's date end up...

I decided to go ahead and post it here, too. **************************************** Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

Nobody Says the "S" Word Any More

Apparently they've done it. It looks like the general population, up to, including, and possibly even especially Christians, have bought the whole tolerance/PC package.

the sin is all mine...

Forgive me, for I have sinned. I committed sins against humanity today. Well actually my sins appear to have been committed against mankind. I obeyed the speed limit and all the road rules today, and for this I ask forgiveness. My outrageous behaviour caused grown men to revert to childish temper...

1. The tennis shoes you must replace today will go on sale next week. 2. Leakproof thermoses will. 3. The chances of a piece of bread falling with the grape jelly side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet. 4. The garbage truck will be two doors past your house when the argument...

The End is Near

A local priest and pastor stood by the side of the road holding up a sign that said, "The End is Near! Turn yourself around now before it's too late!" They planned to hold up the sign to each passing car. "Leave us alone, you religious nuts!" yelled the first driver as he sped by. From around the...

The New 260 degree Circle

During basic army training, a sergeant was telling his group how a submachine gun sprayed bullets. He drew a circle on a blackboard and announced that it had 260 degrees. “But, sergeant, all circles have 360 degrees,” remarked one of the trainees. “Don’t be stupid,” the sergeant roared....
