I Am Not An Island or What Does God Have to Do With Animals?
Christians, if we live out our lives as Christians, that becomes a part of all we are, do and say. There is no separation from our personal lives into our business lives into our social lives or whatever. We are Christians and I got a taste of Christians banding together in unity as a team this week.

De-Materialization #2
Don't be afraid of what is possible and please don't hurt those who try and learn - they are usually more interested in helping you than hurting you.

A New Beginning
Too many days can be spent alone. Too many days can be lost to failure or fear. Too many days can be lost in pity. Finding your meaning and direction in life, living your life purpose, will change that forever.

Getting the Feel of Your Faith
Whether we admit it or not, we operate by emotion. Our comfort level, attitude, and efficience are largely determined by how we feel. Getting the feel of your faith enables you to be confident and comfortable with your spiritual condition. It determines your influence, where and how often you attend church services,
and what you do for the Lord.

It was the place where the Hellenic spirit achieved its most glorious expression. The most diverse people from the Nile to the Indus, from the Black Sea to the Persian Gulf, came under the spell of the Greek spirit.

Show Of Hands
The human hand is majestic and elegant and the most utilized of all our physical members. If you want to know something about a man’s depth, then watch his hands because every man’s hands tell us something about the man.

Beneficiaries of the Promise
The gospel started with Abraham. That is why Scripture says he was introduced to the gospel in advance. If anyone was ever a religious fanatic it was Abraham. If anyone ever had an excuse to disobey God it was Abraham. God tested him in many ways including asking him to offer his only son of promise on the altar. Because he passed the test, we have the blessings of being in Christ.

A Man Called Jesus
Symbolism has always been important in man's development. All things are symbols. They are roadsigns or landmarks of where you are in your thinking at any particular time in the physical world. It is a simple thing to see how one is thinking just by looking at the things one gathers around oneself. But symbols can separate you from the source of your power. Danger lies in the symbol of Jesus, the cross, the Ferrari or anything that causes you to deny your power.

What Does Jesus Expect?
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. --ROMANS 5:8
Expectations create conditional love. “I love you, but I’ll love you more if.” Now I know what you’re thinking. Shouldn’t we expect the best out of one another? Shouldn’t we encourage each other to strive for excellence and never settle for anything else? Absolutely. But it was Christ who taught us how to use expectations. Does He demand a lot? You better believe it. Does He expect much? Only our best. Does He have expectations? Just that we leave everything, deny all, and follow Him. The difference? Jesus’ expectations were accompanied by forgiveness and acceptance.
