A Contrast of Funerals

I don’t know about you but I am amazed at the attention given to the funeral arrangements and burial of Michael Jackson. I realize that he had a great impact on our society, but I just cannot fathom all the attention being paid to him. His burial stands in marked contrast to two other burials in the Bible. The mangled body of…

Three Simple Truths

We have just finished a remarkable Leadership Training Camp with some remarkable young people. This past Sunday our young ladies spoke to a ladies class and our young men spoke at our Sunday morning auditorium class and at our worship.

This week’s bulletin article is the first of two articles…

While that might work in many areas, there are obviously areas where it will never work. Imagine trying to use compromise with a rattlesnake or a man-eating tiger. The reality is…

Two Amazing Events

Is there any way any of us could have imagined how wonderful the past few days at Palm Beach Lakes would have been? It is wonderful when a single event energizes the church, but it is even more wonderful when events follow one after another and create such excitement. After the Ladies’ Day this past Thursday, the comment I heard again and…
