Make a Difference – Use or Lose It. With the turbulence in the stock market and banks and companies failing and filing for bankruptcy, there is the tendency for most people to fear and put their monies under their pillow. Some are even predicting the end of the world as a result of the recent economic downturn. On the other hand, smart investors are taking advantage of the bargain and buying up stocks at very cheap prices so that they can reap big gains in the future. Today, Jesus confronts our fear of investing and reluctance to use what has been given to us for advancing His kingdom. It is not a question of how much you have but what you are doing with what you have in your hands. You either use it or lose it. Luke 19: 11-23 11While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12He said: "A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself

Richness and Wealth, the Greatest Obstacle Few months ago, I read about a billionaire in the London suburb who killed his himself and his family.

Have Mercy on Me, a Sinner The 2008 Presidential campaign and election has brought out the worst of us in the American Christendom. Accusations and counter accusations were flying left and right. Christians on one side of the political debate are calling each other hypocrites and other names. Some say because you are not concerned about the abortion disease that has plagued this land, therefore, the others are not “righteous Christians”. Another side says because you are not caring enough for the poor and feeding the hungry, therefore, the others are not “caring Christians”.

I know you, like me have and did take a position one way or the other during the debat
