During the 18th century, merchants traveled The Silk Road, routes that connected several regions for trade. These routes passed through several arid regions where water was scarce. Merchants relied on oases, areas with water in the desert, for their survival. They actually planned their trips so they could pass by these areas and replenish their […]

You’re Not The Only One
Have you ever seen baby birds in a nest with their mouths open just waiting to eat whatever their mother drops in their mouth? They’re just making noise, waiting for their stomachs to be filled. All believers have the Holy Spirit on the inside of them, but not every believer listens to the Holy Spirit. […]
The One Jesus Loved Most
Who did, who does Jesus love most? There were so many people in His life here on earth, is it possible that He loved one above the other? We know that Jesus is love and He loves the whole world, but does one person stand out above the rest? The answer to this simple question […]
How The Gospel Was Preached
I remember years ago getting an email from a ‘ministry company’ that sold, among other things, sermon series for all different kinds of ministries.

You’re Going To Hell Because You Didn’t Accept Jesus And You Dunk Your Fries In A Frosty
Yes, dipping your french fries in a Frosty – any kind of ice cream is uncalled for and the unpardonable sin. If you visit a Wendy’s and dare to combine those two items, the blood of Jesus can cover your sins, but not that sin. Sounds stupid, huh? Well, that’s because it is. But how […]
A Good Plan or God’s Plan
Years ago when I first got saved, I attended a small church of less than 100. We didn’t have a worship band. In fact, all we had was a CD player and a bunch of CDs for our worship. I had been born again for probably less than a year when the youth pastor gave […]
Come To My Church – We Give Away Free Junk
“If you’re looking for some great freebies, come out to my church. We have giveaways all the time – we give away bikes, TVs, iPads, household appliances, and more. Heck, while you’re there getting free stuff, why not try on Jesus Christ. One size fits all.” Yes. I’m being sarcastic. But not in a bad […]
