    based on 246 ratings
     | 5,077 views

    Biblical teaching on divorce: though divorce is not a good thing, it is sometimes permitted.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "I read where one wife plans to divorce her husband as soon as she can find a way to do so without making him happy." Friends, Arnold may have read that, but in real life, divorce is no joke. It seldom brings happiness to anyone. Most of us are aware of the devastating ...read more

    What does God say about marriage?

    The pastor was visiting the fourth-grade Sunday School class to talk about marriage as part of the lesson. He asked the class, "What does God say about marriage?" Immediately one boy replied, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Well, friends, that is not exactly a proper ...read more

    based on 234 ratings
     | 3,821 views

    Sexual fulfillment is a very shallow goal to have in life. Instead, we need to seek spiritual fulfillment in Jesus Christ

    Dear Mom, Yes, some of the things you have heard about this city are probably true. In fact, they say the main reason people come to this place is because of sex. Sexual immorality is more prevalent than you could ever imagine. By God’s grace, I have remained chaste, but it seems I am being ...read more

    Making sure we are ready to enter heaven is probably as important as anything in life

    A man was stranded in the desert. As he crawled across the burning sand, dying of thirst, he encountered a necktie salesman. "Can I interest you in a nice new tie?" the salesman asked. "Are you crazy?" the man gasped. "I'm dying of thirst and you want to sell me a necktie?" The salesman shrugged ...read more

    A look at what Paul says about Christians and lawsuits

    The United States is clearly the world's leader in lawyers and litigation. There are almost one million lawyers in our country, over twice as many as there were twenty years ago. The State of Delaware, which has a population of 750,000, has more attorneys than the whole nation of Japan, which has a ...read more

  • Shouldn't We Stay Away From Them?

    based on 124 ratings
     | 4,114 views

    Trying to avoid contact with those who don't share our faith in Christ is a mistake that Christians have often made throughout the centuries

    (Jim and Sue are sitting in the living room after dinner. Jim is reading the paper; Sue is knitting -- or something.) JIM: (Starts to put down the paper.) Well, Sue, I'd better go to bed. I want to get to the office early tomorrow morning. SUE: Oh, Jim, I'm so glad you like your new job. Isn't it ...read more

  • Dare To Discipline

    based on 166 ratings
     | 6,147 views

    Church discipline is a very unpleasant thing - But because we love God, because we love His church, because we love the people who are a part of it, it is something we need to be willing to do

    Fifteen years ago, next week, I was called to become the pastor of Lakeside Baptist Church, Wentworth, Wisconsin. As I began my first full-time ministry position, my rookie season, I found myself facing a couple of situations which were probably as difficult as any that I have dealt with the last ...read more

  • Hunting For Humility?

    based on 311 ratings

    Christianity would benefit greatly if there were more humble individuals in both pulpits and pews

    When asked what were the three most important Christian virtues, Augustine replied, "Humility, humility, and humility." Yet, this great virtue is in rather short supply in our culture. Even very good people seem to have a hard time being really humble. One day Linus tells Charlie Brown, "When I ...read more

  • I'm Ok, Right?

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 127 ratings
     | 4,930 views

    All of us need to be concerned about our spiritual health at least as much as we are about our physical well-being

    I don't know about you, but if I had a doctor like Dr. Kraft in this morning's skit, I would find a new physician too. Friends, very few people want to go to a doctor who lies to them. We want to know the truth, even if it is unpleasant, so we can maybe take some action to keep the bad news ...read more

  • A Blueprint For Building

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 204 ratings
     | 8,852 views

    with Christ as our foundation, we as a church and as individuals need to make sure we build with the right materials; make sure we stay God-centered; we need to rely on the Lord's strength and wisdom and avoid the temptation to take shortcuts

    This church building was constructed about nine years ago. These are the blueprints for our church. Whoever put them together did a fine job, and they provided direction for the folks who built this structure which we often call First Baptist Church. It is good to keep in mind, though, that ...read more

  • Why Can't They Understand?

    Why can't some people "get it" when it comes to the Christian gospel?

    Sometimes the words we speak just don't connect with the person to whom we are speaking. During the first week of basic training, an army drill sergeant was explaining what was in store for his squad during the next two months. One young private raised his hand and asked, "Sergeant, when do we ...read more

  • Who Would Have Thought...?

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 128 ratings
     | 4,534 views

    We need to trust God because He knows what He is doing: Though our lives may seem very confusing at times, though it may often seem that God is far away and has forgotten about us, we still need to trust.

    Who would have thought it? The St. Louis Rams were the best football team in the NFL this past season. They compiled a 13-3 record, then beat the Vikings and Bucs in the playoffs, and finally edged out the Titans to win the Super Bowl. But, six months ago, if you would have said the Rams would ...read more

    Church conflict dishonors the Lord and can do great damage to people's souls

    RYAN: Oh, don't give me that, Andy! Anyone with half a brain knows that I am right. ANDY: Are you saying I am stupid? Listen, Ryan, you better take back what you said or I'll throw you halfway across the room! RYAN: Yeah? You and what army? ANDY: Don't get me mad, Ryan. These hands are ...read more

    See some things which will help us to be more thankful for difficult people

    A few weeks ago it seemed like Brock, our almost two-year-old, was part chimpanzee. Oh, we don't believe in evolution at all, but he seems to have an unusual ability to climb. One day he took the laundry basket, tipped it upside down and stood on it so he could crawl on top of the dresser. Then he ...read more

  • Why God? (Tragedy)

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 90 ratings
     | 9,867 views

    God speaks to us about situations we face in life, we need to let God's Word enter our minds and hearts and heal the grief, doubt and even the anger we may feel.

    There are certain times in life when all of us, no matter how strong our faith may be, cry out either audibly or inside our soul, and ask, "Why, God? Why did You let this happen? Why didn't You prevent this tragedy?" For many of us, one of those times was this past Monday when we heard that ...read more
