Seems to me about the only people who really, really love large churches are pastors—LOL. I mean, apart from the wonderful corporate worship and teaching one can receive at such places on the weekends, almost everything else is better when it’s smaller. And let’s face it, when a big ship goes down, the damage is […]
READ MOREOne of the things that sidelines most Christ followers at one point or another is, ‘not knowing’ for sure weather they are saved. You may have called it something else: •   doubting •   having questions •   not knowing ‘for sure’ •   wondering about other religions • They all amount to the same thing—not knowing for […]
READ MOREWe Americans love our Independence. In most cases it’s been a good thing.

READ MORERemember the TV show, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?†Well, ‘Who doesn’t?†But most of us will never achieve that. Sorry to burst your bubble but the odds are not in your favor, unless… “Unless what, pastor Rob?!!†‘Oh, never mind. You probably wouldn’t be interested in a SURE FIRE WAY to make you […]
READ MORELet’s face it, most of us are glory hogs–we love the lime light almost as much as we enjoy saying we don’t. There’s nothing quite as self serving as false humility.

But this time, the odds are far more against him than in the past. •   Riders have gotten better •   Lance has gotten older •   He’s been ‘outta the saddle’ for four years. That’s a lifetime in biker years. •   People […]
READ MOREIn the movie, “The Last of the Mohicans,†it was a tragedy that a people group/tribe/nation vanished from the face of the earth. But lately, I’ve discovered a situation where getting rid of a certain tribal group can be the healthiest/best thing for you. I’m talking about the “Wolf Tribe.†Perhaps you’ve heard of them? […]
READ MOREDon’t misunderstand me. I’m not against numbers–In fact, I’m very much for them. They’re very helpful. * They tell you if you’re growing. * They tell you if people are coming back. * They tell you if people are exiting the back door. * They allow you to set goals. * They tell you how […]
READ MOREMy family occasionally like to have a “movie night.†You know, the deal complete with popcorn and coke, TV trays and a good (wholesome) flick. The “wholesome†part is getting harder and harder to pull off. Most often we use a little device called, “Clearplay†in order to assure nothing objectionable gets by. Click here […]
READ MOREOne of the many mis-quoted and mis-applied passages of scripture is, Matthew 18:6, if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. True, Jesus was […]
