Give Thanks in Whatever I Do

Last updated on: December 2, 2019 at 11:32 pm By Jim Erwin

Give Thanks in Whatever I Do Colossians 3:15-17 Back during the dark days of 1929, a group of ministers in the Northeast gathered to discuss how they should conduct their Thanksgiving Sunday services. Things were about as bad as they could get, with no sign of relief. The bread lines were long, the stock market had crashed, and the Great Depression described both the economy and the attitude of the day. Some thought that they should only lightly touch upon...

How to Development Contentment in My Life

Last updated on: November 5, 2019 at 9:11 pm By Jim Erwin

How to Development Contentment in My Life Philippians 4:10-23 A thermometer doesn’t change anything around it—it just registers the temperature. It’s always going up and down. But a thermostat regulates the surroundings and changes them when they need to be changed. Many people live like a thermometer, living their lives and letting their circumstances let them go up and down. Being content in life is like being a thermostat. The Apostle Paul was a thermostat. Instead of having spiritual ups... Read more

Developing Christian Joy Galatians 5:22-23 Erma Bombeck shares the following story about the creation of Fathers. When the good Lord was creating Fathers he started with a tall frame. And a female angel nearby said, “What kind of Father is that? If you’re going to make children so close to the ground, why have you put Fathers up so high? He won’t be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, tuck a child in bed without bending, or even kiss a... Read more

Developing Christian Love Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things.” (Galatians 5:22–23, CSB) Our focus today is on love, which is preached about in a lot in churches. The danger here is that because love is such a well-known topic you may be tempted to check out. I hope you don’t. While love is a common theme, it’s not always easy... Read more

The waitress had just served him his meal when three guys riding Harley’s showed up and swaggered into the diner. One grabbed the man’s hamburger; another took a fistful of his French Fries; and the third picked up his coffee and began to drink it. The trucker responded with great patience.

5 Things Every Evangelist Needs

Last updated on: November 2, 2019 at 10:24 pm By Jim Erwin

5 Things Every Evangelist Needs 1. Every evangelist needs to be called by God “And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,” (Ephesians 4:11, CSB) Just as God has not called all men to be pastors, neither has He called all to be evangelists. The Bible says “some evangelists” and “some pastors.” The pastor and evangelist are two different callings and different gifts. Billy Graham said: “The evangelist’s message is a very... Read more
