HOPELESS CASE


HOPELESS CASE

                I love French cuisine…or… to be more specific…. I love Mayonnaise. It doesn’t seem right to just eat it by the spoonful somehow. But then… I figure that is why God made Artichokes. Those delectable low fat, high fiber wonders were made by God specifically for the consumption of Mayonnaise. And as fate would have it, the Artichoke’s properties were also created to counter any possibly bad side effects actually making Mayonnaise healthy. Am I delusional?      Thoughts anyone?                          Signed, Hopeless Case  

                And now for today’s English language lesson. What does the expression “Tongue in Cheek” really mean?

ONE OF THOSE THINGS PART 2

ONE OF THOSE THINGS (PART 2)                 I guess I shouldn’t keep you in suspense. The Colonoscopy was a success. It was by far the easiest part of my 4 day ordeal.                 I, along with those who now know me more than most, watched the whole procedure on the screen in full HD color.

They were all watching the screen along with me. I was covered with a pre-warmed blanket, festooned with 5 heart monitors, an oxygen measurer on my finger, and an IV pouring comfort and ease into my veins.       ...

THE SAVING OF OUR SOUL

THE SAVING OF OUR SOULS                 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus.” 1 Thess. 5:23.                 I grew up in a prophetic church, so we knew prophecy quite well and a part of that included a fairly thorough understanding of the Sanctuary.   (The Tabernacle of Moses)   We knew all of the furniture and the compartments and how they represented justification, sanctification and glorification, but what I was never taught is that the Tabernacle displayed the three parts of man. In other words, man is made up of three individual parts... spirit, soul and body. Even less did we realize that these three parts are saved separately and that each part must be saved complete, as this text in 1 T...

THE CHURCH AS A LIVING ORGANISM

THE CHURCH AS A LIVING ORGANISM                 So often we have a myopic view of church. There is a pastoral staff that does what they are supposed to do. We come, we listen and we leave.                 I spent many years being on stage in churches of all kinds and I want to tell you that there is no lonelier place in the entire world than being up front in a dead church. If there is to be a smile, you are going to have to provide it. If there is to be a positive atmosphere, you are going to have to provide it. IF there is to be any inspiration or excitement or conviction, you are going to have to produce it, even as the entire congregation sits glumly staring at their laps.                 In a living congregation, when you pray the congregations pra...
