Saturday July 31, 2004 As a Christian we need to serve God with “reckless abandon.” Too bad it seems the only place we seem to use it is on the highways! What radical way can you serve God this weekend? -Garrett Novak -Acts 2:27 NIV because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor…

Wednesday, June 30, 2004 Ministries are not successful because they have a lot of cash but because they have a lot of heart. On the other hand, the failure rate of ministries with great heart is high because they don’t have enough financial support. Support the ministries that support you. There are many ministries out…

Monday, May 31, 2004 In America, this is Memorial Day. We take time to remember those who have died serving our country, those who have served in the military and loved ones who have passed away. As I did the invocation at the local cemetery this morning I couldn’t help but think of how much…

Friday, April 30, 2004 Christians often misunderstand the boundaries of Christian living and behavior. Some think it extends only to their church friends and maybe their family. Many Christian business people love to use the phrase, “It’s business” when they are brokering a less than fair deal for all parties involved. Too often Christian business…

Sunday, February 29, 2004 The other day I had a meeting with a pastor and then the couple that accompanied me took me to a tourist spot. I really don’t like heights, but I decided I could do this. We took a cable car to the entrance of the cave. We walked up and down…

Saturday January 31, 2004 Isolation is Satan’s breeding ground and when we have a “pity party,” he’s the first guest to arrive! Don’t sit home this Sunday morning. Take your family to a local bible-preaching church and join the “fellowship” party! -Garrett Novak -Acts 2:42 NIV “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to…

Wednesday, December 31, 2003 As I spend the waning hours of 2003 thinking, I find myself thinking very little about 2003 and a lot of time thinking about 2004. In fact, I had to smile a little as I live in such an expectancy of what God is going to do this year in our…

Sunday, November 30, 2003 Do you know of anyone who thinks you are crazy because of your faith? Do your family and relatives and some friends think you have lost your mind because of the things you do (or don’t do) because of your faith? I am sure there are those who think that of…

Friday, October 31, 2003 “Halloween scared” is nothing to “hell scared” in eternity! Even the California fires do not compare to the pain, suffering and fear that is waiting for those who die without Christ. It isn’t a popular thought but none the less true. -Lyn Sahr -Matt 25:41-42 NIV “Then he will say to…

Tuesday, September 30, 2003 As we close the first month of fall and head toward winter I am reminded of how cold it is in hell. I know that many people talk about hell being hot but that isn’t going to be the worst part of spending eternity in hell. The worst part will be…
