  A few years ago, I authored a book called, “Enduring Life or Enjoying Life.” Recently we received a letter from a teenage girl who is 16 years old. She had been cutting herself and was severely suicidal. Someone had given her the aforementioned book and the truths she found in it made her free. She is no longer suicidal and her life is anchored in the joy of the Lord. She even recently led another young lady to Jesus Christ! It is amazing what the power of joy will do in your life! The Bible tells us: 1. “This is the day the Lord has made, I...

  When someone is about to go to Heaven…what they say at the very end of their life should be carefully listened to, valued and carried out! Last words are important!  Over the last few weeks we have been sharing  that Jesus actually made seven different statements as He hung on the cross and prepared to see His Father once again.  Those seven powerful statements all have principled meaning to us today. Let's review what we have already shared. “Father forgive them, for they don’t know what they do” (Luke 23:24).  We will refer to this as Pardon. How you respond when people...

  Last words are important!  When someone is about to go to Heaven…what they say at the very end of their life should be carefully listened to, valued and carried out! My precious mother-in-law, Janet Holderness, recently went home to be with Jesus.  It was a touching home going.  She had special times with her family and everyone was able to tell her goodbye…there were truly no regrets!  As my mother-in-law was getting closer to being with Jesus she had some very poignant things to say but she also had some very cute things to say!  She asked my wife Anne, “In...

  Matt. 25:21: “His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things.  I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” This wonderful Scripture is in Jesus’ parable of being faithful with our God given gifts.  It should be the heart cry of every believer to hear “Well done, thou good and faithful servant,” not “Well?” Over the last number of months we have discussed just how to practically do this. With our “Four Facets of Faithfulness:” Every sinner is an opportunity for salvation (Luke 19:10) ...

  Let’s take a look at our key scripture from the series that we have been covering over the past few months from Matt. 25:21: “His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things.  I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” This wonderful Scripture is in Jesus’ parable of being faithful with our God given gifts.  It should be the heart cry of every believer to hear “Well done, thou good and faithful servant,” not “Well?” Over the last number of months we...

  When I think of faithfulness I think of my Executive Pastor and his wife…Pastor Dave and Paula Goldner! They have been with me for almost 33 years! I have watched them faithfully serve our Lord and His church for decades. About 30 years ago when I could barely walk and barely talk, and I was walking through very severe cardiovascular challenges…Dave quit his secular job and came to work full time at World Changers Bible Institute. His job was a very good paying job and at the time, WCBI could not afford to pay him anything. Dave worked full time for months on a volunteer basis...
