The title of this teaching is When You Come To A Cross Road, Take It. The key word is cross. This is our March/April teaching, and April of this year we celebrate what is usually known as Easter Sunday when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. No resurrection would have occurred had he not died. What we are going …
Walking in the Footsteps of Christ
Becoming Like Christ I once heard the famous American radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, asked: “If you had to be stranded on a desert island with one man from the history of the world, who would it be?” And he answered, “Jesus Christ.” Good choice, although Rush may have been mostly thinking of the walking on water thing. Limbaugh …
To Judge or Not To Judge?
FAQ: In listening to two Christians having a disagreement about a personal matter, I’ve often heard one say to the other, “Stop judging me,” or “Stop being judgmental,” as if that is always wrong. What does the Bible say about judging one another? You and I live in a war zone, amidst the battle between the two gods, the God …
Stretching for the Lord
What I would like you to do first is standup. This will be simple (after all, now that this is a transcription you are sitting at a computer and not driving). We are going to do one stretch—I really want you to do this. As I have been teaching this live, I have asked people to really participate in this. …

Peace On Earth
In this “holiday” season, during which we in the USA celebrate our national day of Thanksgiving, and Christians around the world celebrate Christmas, one of the messages proclaimed by countless Christmas cards is, “Peace on Earth.” And what an indescribably wonderful vision that is. Think about it: no warring between nations and no hurtful conflict between individual people. No wonder …
Is Too Much Knowledge a Bad Thing?
FAQ: I have been a Christian for many years, and have frequently shared the Word I know with other Christians. When I sensed that they were not basing their beliefs on the written Word of God, I called them back to it as the only standard for faith and practice. Far more often than I ever would have expected, they …
God’s Favorite Vegetable
Nutrients are essential in our physical life to enable us to grow and to sustain us. A baby lives primarily on water and milk. As the baby grows, he begins to add solid foods into his diet, working his way up to meat. But we do not exist on water alone, or only milk or bread or meat. We need …
Belonging to the Truth
“What is truth?” That is the question every human being will at one time or another have to face, and answer. Those who choose to face it in this lifetime, and who come to God for the answer, will be set free by the truth, and eventually gain everlasting life. Those who do not choose to come to grips with …
Be a Rock in a Hard Place
In the fall of 1972, while on a tour of the Bible Lands, I stood on Mars Hill in Athens, Greece, where the Apostle Paul preached his magnificent discourse recorded in Acts 17. That was back in the days when “pet rocks” were the rage, so as a memento I took home a palm-sized piece of that rocky hill. My …
