    The church is defined, shaped and equipped with the gifts necessary to help the church to grow.

    When your favorite athletic team takes the floor or the field, all the players are dressed alike. But, no one considers this a liability. And it isn't. Their being dressed alike is one indication that they are a team and that they have a common purpose. However, if you look closely, you will see a ...read more

    The third commandment tells us how to love God.

    The Ten Commandments are principles for keeping free. In Exodus 20, these people have become free for the first time in 400 years, and God is telling them, "I gave you freedom. I made you free. Now let Me tell you how to keep it." So these are ten principles for individual, collective, and ...read more

    Everything we have are gifts from God. Our time, talents, and resources are all gifts from God. Like beauty and brilliance, we are not responsible for having them, but we are very responsible for what we do with them.

    The interviewer had traveled all the way to New York to interview him about preaching. Sitting in his living room, the young man was thrilled to be visiting with one of the most effective media ministers of all times. When television was young, he appeared in prime time on Sunday evenings, teaching ...read more

    When Jesus came to the world, the first sign He did was to turn the water into wine, signifying the joy of God's good news.

    Many teachers today will use a power point presentation to give a visual picture of what they are trying to communicate. In his gospel, John uses the same technique. His purpose in writing the gospel is to prove that Jesus is the Son of God (John 20:31). To prove his point, John sets before us in ...read more

    United We Stand – Divided We Fall

    We are not truly a "church" if we spend our time fighting. God blesses churches that are unified under His leadership.

    "The Battling Baptists" ... that's the reputation Baptists have, according to Walter Shurden. Baptists are born fighters because they were born fighting. Early Baptists were known as law-breakers. Shurden writes, "They broke the laws in England and they broke the laws in America. And they broke ...read more

    It’s Not Just Any Old Name

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 19, 2010
     | 2,248 views

    God's name is holy and should be treated with reverence.

    "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name." One of the toughest things for me is to visit in jails and prisons. I don’t know why this makes me so nervous. But, there is something about being in a prison among people ...read more

    Worth Fighting For

    All true believers have a responsibility to contend for the faith.

    The writer of Psalm 11 presents us with a penetrating and probing question: "If the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do?" That is, what must believers do to prevent destruction of the foundation of their faith? The answer to the psalmist’s question is found in Jude 3. What will keep ...read more

    The wise men were wise because they followed the star to Jesus...and so can we.

    When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, wise men came from the East to Jerusalem seeking him and inquiring, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him?" Who were these wise men ... where ...read more

     | 4,917 views

    We as believers in Christ, and as the church of the living God, have a story to tell. What does our story say about our relationship with Him?

    A thirty-four-year-old German woman named Anna Rosmus recently told the tragic story of what happened in her hometown in Germany during World War II. Speaking at Carson-Newman College in Tennessee, she told of growing up in Passau, Germany, years after the war. As a teenager, she wrote a school ...read more

    An Annoying, Discombobulating, Fuzzy-Toothed Inconvenience

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 10, 2010
     | 3,094 views

    At the end of a year, we can choose to let go of things that have weighed us down in the previous year. We can lose some of the baggage that we carry around and choose to replace it with the love of Christ.

    How many times have you stood forsaken at the baggage carousel, watching the luggage track spit out piece after piece of luggage, but never yours? Why is it, when all chance of my suitcase ever showing up is gone, I feel compelled to stand there and watch the few remaining orphan bags circling ...read more

    Just Another Manger

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 10, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,469 views

    Angels' music, while sweet, was not designed to be a resting place for a baby's head. Since cribs are not found in stables, the only thing that could serve that purpose was something as simple as the feeding trough of the stable animals ... the manger.

    The sun was setting over ancient Palestine, as it had done so many times before. The wife of the manger-maker walked to the back door of the little workshop in the back of the house, as she had done so many times before. She went there to tell her husband that the evening meal was ready. ...read more

    When It's Time To Get In The Game!

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 10, 2010
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,042 views

    We Christians spend a lot of time learning how to witness. But, there comes a time when it's time to get off the bench, get in the game and use what we have learned to witness to those who are lost.

    Some years ago, I took a group to Glorieta, NM to attend a Sunday School training week. I became aware that a man by the name of Paul McClung was supposed to teach a specific witnessing strategy. Because of family connections to the McClung’s I decided I would participate in this particular ...read more

    The story of Blind Bartimaeus told from his perspective. Around every corner, by the sea, in the city – Jesus is busy touching people and changing their life. Jesus is alive today, as He was on the road from Jericho – His outstretched hand is ready to

    I awoke every morning when I felt the warmth of the sun on my face, but I never saw a sunrise. • I never saw light dance on the sea. • I never saw my mother’s smile. • I never saw my father’s dark eyes twinkle. • I never saw the color red.

    A Family Kind Of Place

     | 3,116 views

    God is keenly interested in children and in family life. God wants the family to be the true laboratory of life, where family members ... regardless of age ... live, learn, love and grow in the Christian graces.

    The photo that was flashed across the country told the heartbreaking story of an American tragedy. A weary fireman held the limp, lifeless body of a little child. The little girl was killed in the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995. Her name was Baylee Almon, and she was ...read more

    Overcoming Fear With Faith

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 4, 2010
     | 9,144 views

    The writer of the twenty-seventh Psalm faced and conquered real fear. At some point in the midst of his trouble, the psalmist felt the pressing need to get back to God.

    Marjorie Goff was thirty-one when she stepped inside and closed the door of her small apartment in 1949. She did not leave her home again until she was sixty-one. She did go out one time in 1960 to visit her family. Two years later, she left again to have an operation. And in 1976, when the friend ...read more
