    Sometimes it’s difficult to go home, but it is essential that we do so.

    Introduction: I want you to imagine for a moment that you have one chance to travel back in time and go back to relive part of your life.

    We all need to recommit ourselves to the choice of serving God.

    Introduction: I heard about a husband who really enjoyed the meat his wife had served for dinner one night. He asked her, "What did you marinate this in?" Well, his wife immediately went into a long explanation about how much she loved him and how life wouldn’t be the same without him, and so ...read more

     | 39,574 views

    We should be willing to take a back seat so that God will lift us up.

    Introduction: It’s only human nature for us to want to sit in the best seat in the house. At sporting events it’s the skybox seat, or the seat on the 50-yard line or the seat directly behind home plate, or a ringside seat at a boxing match. Those are the places that have the best view and carry ...read more

    We know Thomas as "the Doubter," but he had great faith.

    Introduction: When I watch movies, I find myself asking, "Is that a good guy or a bad guy?" You see, Hollywood generally portrays its characters as either good guys or bad guys, and you have to understand which character is which if you’re going to understand the story line. The good guys ...read more

    Self-discipline is an important aspect of our running teh Christian race.

    Introduction: Any of you remember what it was like to get your driver’s license? The lessons, the practice, the look of terror on the face of the driving instructor, the look of regret on the face of your parents when you proudly waved that newly-obtained license under their noses? But, finally ...read more

    An invitation has been extended and a response is required.

    Introduction: It’s fascinating to me how after only a few years of being married, a couple can sometimes communicate with a very small number of words. Husbands, if you will, imagine this scene with me. You’ve been invited to a party, and after spending the day working out in the yard, you dash ...read more

    Jesus Christ will be coming again and we need to get ready.

    Introduction: If you were writing a letter to people who were suffering, what is the one thing above all others that you would want to say to them? It would probably be something like this: "What you’re going through will not be in vain. When this terrible ordeal is over, you’ll be able to ...read more

    based on 69 ratings
     | 26,943 views

    We need to be persistent in our prayers.

    There’s a magazine cartoon that shows a little fellow kneeling beside his bed for his bedtime prayer.
