Truth & Humor

There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news.  The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program.  The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets." ============================= While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage.  The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass.  Caution: Do not step in exhaust." =============================  A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend.  The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him in front of the service station.  Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.   "Reverend," said the young man, "Sorry about the delay.  It ...

A. Our Purpose: Why God Created People The Father in heaven has great plans for us.

Are you successful? Take a moment and reflect on the question. What is your answer? Now, answer the question from several different angles: Would your spouse (if applicable) say you are successful?

He wants you to be fruitful, productive, effective, blessed, and successful. Look at Joshua 1:8 (NASB): " 'This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to ...
