Have you ever met a snob?  You know the type of person I am talking about.  Someone whose nose is turned upside down and if it ever rained…they would drown! Many years ago my wife and I were in Tulsa.  My father-in-law invited us to eat at a very fancy buffet in their country club.  Now my father-in-law is a very good man and is anything but a snob.  However there were many snobs present in the very high dollar country club.  There were many employees of the country club behind this buffet and I noticed that the people in line...

A large ministry organization here in the States has recently had a number of adulterous situations amongst quite a few pastors within their membership.  They are walking them through a restoration process.  Within this process they wanted to discover the root cause of these adulterous affairs so as to help prevent these situations in the future.   To their surprise, they discovered that throughout many of these adulterous affairs it was something very small that opened the door to something very big!  These situations began through a woman simply fixing a shirt collar for her pastor or lightly touching one another’s hands...

Over a decade ago we had a wonderful young man at Joy Church.  He played the keyboard and was incredibly talented.  He was also extremely intelligent.  Because of his very high level of intelligence he had many questions about the Bible.  He would listen to arguments that intellectual atheists would make against the Bible, and it began to slowly erode his confidence in God’s Word.  Finally he set up an appointment with me with all of his questions in tow.   I think I spent over two hours with him answering all of his questions.  He told me that the answers I...
