Jesus: The Son of Man
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his

When there is no word of God
Proverbs 29:18: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” A lot of preaching and teaching is being done today about vision. You must have a vision statement. You must have a vision for reaching the lost, for the future, and for reaching the youth. Even

Both feet in
Luke 5 tells of a day that changed everything for Simon Peter. He had worked as a fisherman for years. One long night of not catching fish was setting him up for a change. The fishing was not a casual throwing in a line, but a full body workout. It took several men to cast

What a Friend We Have in Our Heavenly Father
BY GREG CRUM “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24 Last week we wrote of the Holy Spirit, and one of the things we mentioned was how much He wants to help us in every aspect of our lives. We

How does God save—by faith or facts?

What a Friend We Have in the Holy Spirit
“For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.” Romans 8:22-23 It seems that this past year we

The Spanish Rooster
The other day at the post office we received a Rooster in the mail from Puerto Rico. When the rooster crowed it sounded just like a rooster from America. I thought to myself, “Why doesn’t that rooster crow in Spanish?” I know you are thinking, “How stupid, animals don’t talk.” But we know from research

Fall in love with Jesus
We don’t know how it started. Maybe she made one wrong friend and that led her to another then another. Perhaps she dated one wrong guy in school and that set her on the path of trouble. Somewhere something went terribly wrong. Before she knew it, she was in crisis. That can happen to anybody.

Great Faith to Accomplish God’s Will Part 3
BY GREG CRUM “For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.” John 12:49-50
