Better Definition of Hypocrite

I may have to backtrack on one of my statements from yesterday. I said, “Evidently a hypocrite is someone that calls lots of attention to themselves.”
While that may be true from the scripture out of Matthew chapter 6, it is not true from Matt 7:3-5 Continue reading →

Don’t be an excuse…be an example!

A man prepared a great feast and sent out many invitations. When the banquet was ready, he sent his servant to tell the guests, “Come, the banquet is ready.” But they all began making excuses.
One said, “I have just bought a field and must inspect it. Please excuse me.”

Another said, “I now have a wife, so I can’t come.” Luke 14:16-20 Continue reading →

The message is SIN

Dear friend, don’t let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God. 3 John 11
I was thinking of how many things encourage us to sin. Just about every TV show, book and magazine pushes us farther from God and nearer to a life of destruction. Continue reading →

Use what you have learned!

Last night Linda and I attended the Broaddus Elementary Sixth Grade Graduation.
This is another group of kids that Linda had in Pre-K.

It’s the most anticipated time of year for school kids – summer vacation!
Put away the pencils and books; leave the desk behind and homework will be a distant memory.
It sounds idyllic! Continue reading →
