How can we be effective as Christians in a world that has gone crazy?
11 points to ponder!
1.  Look outside yourself and circumstances for a moment.  There is more in the world than this – much more.  1 Cor 2:9

Procrastination
“Tomorrow” he promised his conscience,
“Tomorrow I mean to believe.
Tomorrow I’ll think as I ought to,
Tomorrow the Saviour receive.
Tomorrow repent of my sins
That hold me from Heaven away.”
And ever his conscience repeated
One word, and one only–”Today!”
Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
‘Till youth with its vision was gone,
‘Till age and his passions had written
The [...]

2 Cor. 4:6, 7 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (7) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power [...]

“Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats?”
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892

An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, so gross in its impudence, that the most shortsighted can hardly fail to notice it during the past few years.  It has developed at an abnormal rate, even for evil.  It has [...]

2 Cor. 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
What an important thing to remember: preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ – not the good news about me. The message our lives should show is about Him, not ourselves. When we do that, we [...]

Listen to what [...]

NOAH’S  CARPENTERS
Many hundred years ago
They ventured to remark
That Noah had some carpenters
To help him build the Ark.
But sad to say on that last day
When Noah entered in,
Those carpenters were left outside
And perished in their sin.

Helped to build the Ark so great,
Yet still they heeded not God’s Word
And awful was [...]

Charles Spurgeon:
Will you do me a favor? I asked it once, and it was blessed to the conversion of several. Will you take a little time alone this evening, and after you have weighed your own condition before the Lord, write down one of two words? If you feel that you are not a believer, [...]

The church is different from Judaism because of the grace of God and requiring the believer to be under the commandments of the Law. We no longer have to perform animal sacrifices [...]
