Providing a Drink of Living Water to a dry and thirsty World

Two Viewpoints

Jim Smith went to church one Sunday morning. He heard the organist miss a note during the prelude and he winced. He saw a teenager talking when everyone was supposed to be bowed in silent prayer. He felt the usher was watching to see what he put into the offering plate and it made him boil. He caught the preacher making a slip of the tongue five times in the sermon – actual count. As he moved out the side door during the closing hymn, he muttered, “a bunch of hypocrites!”

Please Let Me In

It was a beautiful Sunday morning. People were filling the church to its fullest capacity! As they entered, each were given a bulletin filled with the announcements, topic of today’s sermon, what songs they would sing and who to pray for. At the end of the line stood an older man. His clothes were filthy and you could tell that he had not bathed in days. His face was covered in whiskers where he had not shaved for a very long time.

When he reached the usher, he removed his tattered old brown hat in respect. His hair… Read more

Movie Review: Fireproof

For the first article in this series we’re going to take a look at the movie titled, “Fireproof,” by Sherwood Pictures. They are also the creators of the movie “Facing the Giants.”

From the Fireproof’s official website: At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter’s adage: Never leave your partner behind. At home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules.

Growing up, Catherine Holt always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter…just like her daddy. Now, after seven years of marriage, Catherine wonders when she stopped… Read more

    Do You Believe the Bible is the Word of God?

    In a recent newsletter for The Well Ministries I wrote about a church that asked us to censor any mention of the devil from our puppet show program stating that their church did not have a “devil theology.” I had the opportunity to speak to their senior pastor about the subject and another, even deeper conversation came about. He told me that their church believes the Bible is actually a bunch of stories told for us to learn lessons from and that they really did not happen. “You can’t take the Bible literally” this pastor stated. Adam and Eve… Read more

    The 23rd Psalm

    The Lord is my Shepherd = That’s Relationship!
    I shall not want = That’s Supply!
    He maketh me to lie down in green pastures = That’s Rest!
    He leadeth me beside the still waters = That’s Refreshment!

    The End: Why Should We Attend Church

    I have often wondered why people go to church. What is it that they expect to happen while they are there? Do they go for the social hour? Do they go to see what God will do for them? Do they go because they think it will affect their eternal salvation, like punching a time clock? Or do they just go because they enjoy the music or the preacher’s message?

    WOW, in the past two months my life has been a whirlwind of things. You will probably have to wait a few months to hear about it here or sign up for our email list. You can also check our website for more updates.

    One of the things I’ve been saying alot lately is that if I didn’t have God in my life I don’t think I could have made it through each day. I wonder how people that don’t have that personal relationship with God can survive all the trials that life brings us. I have definitely had some… Read more
