  • "Earn This"

    Contributed by David Washburn on Jun 19, 2002
    based on 157 ratings
     | 9,751 views

    Saving Private Ryan tell us to "Earn This," jsut as Paul encourages us to live a life worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    Tomorrow is Memorial Day. A day set aside by our nation to honor those men and women who have died serving our country. Our Baptist heritage and principles hold firmly to the separation of church and state. Neither entity shall encroach nor assert undo influence upon the other. I agree, but I also ...read more

  • Coming Home On Father's Day

    Contributed by David Washburn on Jun 11, 2002
    based on 135 ratings
     | 45,301 views

    Father’s Day is a day to honor our father, our Heavenly Father. Jesus’ parable about the prodigal son is a pure reflection of a loving father and what it means to come home on Father’s Day.

    Dads, today is our day, but Father’s Day has somehow never been held in as high regard as Mother’s Day. Mother’s just have that certain something. After all, whenever you see someone holding a sign or mouthing “hello,” they’re saying, “Hi, Mom,” and usually not, “Hi Dad.” Now, I’m not complaining, ...read more

  • For The Sake Of The Call

    We learn from ten-year old Samuel the importance of being attentive and obedient to God’s call, for we never know where it might lead

    This morning’s scripture passage is one of my favorites, as it tells the story of Samuel’s call into the ministry, but when we consider the overall context surrounding this story of Samuel’s calling, we gain a much richer meaning. This is true for any biblical passage. The meaning and way in which ...read more

  • Evangelism Is Not A Dirty Word

    Evangelism is not a dirty word, and we’ve got to reclaim it from those who distort it.

    “Evangelism” What comes to mind when you hear that word? Some of you grew up in the time of tent revivals. For a week, folk would gather from miles around underneath large tents to share a good meal, sing Gospel hymns, and listen to a fiery preacher bring the message that we all need Jesus ...read more

  • Christ's Farewell

    Contributed by David Washburn on Apr 16, 2002

    Many times a "final" farewell surrounds the death of a friend or loved one, but Christ’s farewell was about comfort, vision, and encouragement to his disciples and the Church.

    Have you ever spoken with someone knowing it was the last time you would see them and your last opportunity to speak with them? I remember having that type of conversation with a cousin several years ago. He was dying from a terminal disease, and Paula and I made the trip to see and speak with Pat ...read more

  • "When Life Seems To Be Closing In"

     | 11,645 views

    We will each have a time in our lives where life seems to be closing in. We can turn to Stephen and draw stength and wisdom from how he coped when life closed in around him.

    One day a man falls off a cliff, but manages to grab hold of a tree limb on the way down. The man calls out, “Is there anyone up there?” A voice answers back, “I am here. It is I, the Lord. Do you believe in me?” “Yes, Lord I believe, I really believe, but I can’t hold on much longer.” “That’s all ...read more

  • "Screen Door On A Submarine"

    "Faith without works is like a song you can’t sing, it’s about as useless as a screen door on a submarine."

    You may have heard our music group sing the song, “Screen Door on a Submarine.” Part of it goes like this: Faith without works is like a song you can’t sing, it’s about as useless as a screen door on a submarine. Rich Mullins wrote that song with this morning’s scripture in mind, because James ...read more

  • "Finding The Promised Land"

    The Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, & Future not only enlighten Scrooge, but they prove helpfulf to the ISraelites and us as well

    Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, which tells us of Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob Cratchit, is a wonderful story. Scrooge is the tight-fisted, hard-nosed, “never give anyone a break,” work-aholic, whose chief goal in life is to make as much money as he can with little or no regard for anyone else. Bob ...read more

  • A Peaceful Kingdom

    God’s gift during Advent is the promise of a peaceful kingdom, even in the midst of pain and suffering

    The prophet Isaiah lived during the time around 720 BC, which is a significant date in Hebrew history, because it marks the time of the fall of the ten Northern Tribes of Israel. The Assyrian Empire, which was the world’s only superpower at the time, overtakes these ten tribes. We find in the first ...read more

  • In The Grips Of Crisis

    based on 54 ratings
     | 8,199 views

    Coming to grips with God’s involvement and grace in times of tragedy and suffering.

    An anniversary is a date marking a notable event. Birthdays and weddings mark notable events that are joyous, but all anniversaries aren’t joyous. Some anniversaries mark tragedy, suffering, and grief. My week began under that cloud because a week ago Saturday, September 8th, is one such date. It ...read more
