    Judge not lest you be judged. For in the way you criticize others you will be criticized.

    Why Jesus wants us to leave the Judging to God ILlustration:It was F.B. Meyer, I believe, who once said that when we see a brother or sister in sin, there are two things we do not know: First, we do not know how hard he or she tried not to sin.

    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

    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

    That is why a Thanksgiving message like this is so important. We need this reminder. We need it because it forces us to "add it all up" & recognize where all these things we enjoy actually come from. (PowerPoints Available - #296)
