Jesus, the Offender
by Vance Havner He was always offending somebody. He offended more people than anybody who has ever lived. Isaiah 8:14 He is either a sanctuary or a stumbling stone. Romans 9:33 He offended His own nation. Matthew 15:12 He offended the Pharisees. Matthew 14:54-58 He offended the people of His own hometown. John 6:60-66 He
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all
And sweetest in the gale is heard.
- Emily Dickenson
When hope dies, the killing begins. Hopelessness and brutality are just two sides of the same coin."
- Jurgen Moltmann"One of the most important distinctions I have learned in the course of reflection on Jewish history is the difference between optimism and hope. Optimism is the belief that things will get better. Hope is the faith that, together, we can make things better. Optimism is a passive virtue; hope, an active one. It takes no courage to be an optimist, but it takes a great deal of courage to have hope."
- Jonathan Sacks"Within the embrace of Christ’s wounds lies our only refuge, and our hope of glory only on the other side."
- Deborah Smith Douglas

More One-Liners
Be ye fishers of men. You catch them – He’ll clean them. Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous. Don’t put a question mark where God put a period. Don’t wait for 6 strong men to take you to church. Forbidden fruits create many jams . God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the

Winning the War (Part 2)
Know Your Enemy “…our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenlies.” Ephesians 6:10 Obey Your Commander “And My People who are called by My name, humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn
The Road Less Traveled
With the recent passing of Adrian Rogers, the Christian landscape lost a sequoia tree of towering influence. He will be remembered as a pastor par-excellence, and as a pulpiteer who spoke with accuracy balanced with grace. He was charming, witty, and down-to-earth. What always amazed me was the fact he was so easily accessible. I
Worship Music and the Senior Pastor
QUESTION: If you were a senior pastor would you have anything to say about the songs and chorus selection of the worship team? ANSWER: You bet! I’d have lots to say. In fact I believe the senior pastor should be the final judge of which songs we sing and which we don’t. Not just to
Why Would Anyone Want to Be Normal?
What is normal? “The norm” these days seems to have taken some strange turns. To quote an old car commercial, “This is not your father’s Oldsmobile.” Everything seems to be changing. What used to be wrong is now right. Things that once made us blush are “normal” conversation. Matters that were never discussed from pulpits,
Elijah: The Glory of Separation (Part 2)
As you and I go through this life, we have to maintain separation. Why? To glorify God. Elijah emphasized the glory of separation. Elijah, the servant of God, had separated himself from the sins of the nations around him. He challenged the priest of Baal to a contest. He said, in effect, “Whichever god answers
