The Ministry of Decrease
Christian men and women struggle with the labor of ministry; and its rewards. The greatest reward of ministry is seeing people come to faith in Christ Jesus, through of the preaching and teaching the word of God, that we do.

Jesus Knows
Humanity; all of us, can be so excited about a person, event, or miraculous happening one moment, and the next turn our hearts and mind against it. I believe that is called "fickleness".

The Days of Lot
The Pharisees had asked Jesus about the "kingdom of God" when it was going to come. Jesus answered them in one way saying, "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21). He then, proceeds to tell them what the days will be like when the Son of Man comes. These are questions which are …
