One of the most “unpopular” topics any preacher can talk about is “giving.” Or “tithing.” Why is that?
Because too many people in the church think of giving the “same way” the world thinks about it!
There’s no shortage of ignorance in the church, but there’s no excuse to be ignorant. We have a map. We have a completed instruction guide with the details mapped out and understandable.
Why then is giving and tithing so offensive to so many people? They don’t understand from the bad teaching they’ve received. They don’t see it as God sees it. Now you will…

Do you take care of things that don’t really belong to you? Or, are you like people that have the attitude, “This isn’t mine, so I don’t care if it breaks or not? It’s not my house, so, I’m not going to fix the broken window!”
If you’re a Christian, do you have the same attitude about your body? You better not!

The one thing God never created? I thought God created all things?
Well, He did… except “Religion.”
Do you know how many times the word “religion” is mentioned in the Bible?
In the Old Testament: Never
In the New Testament: Only eight times. (And usually in a negative way.)

How many times in your life have you asked the “age old” question…WHY?
Why is this happening to me? Why is this happening to my child?
Why didn’t I get the job instead of this guy? And the list goes on…
Why do Christians suffer? (Except when then bring it on themselves through bad choices?)
Let’s find out…

I received a letter this past week that really disturbed me. I started thinking about the many other people that think about God in the same way…
Is he like this dear lady wrote, “I do love God, but I have learned through the years, he can also be cruel. Floods, fires, and wiping out innocent children.”"If God takes my child, I will have a very hard time believing in a merciful forgiving God who would allow children to die so horribly while he watches.”
What do you think about God?

The tragic news came to me in an email from my sister this past Thursday morning… maybe she was too heart broken to use the phone…
Her daughters husband had been killed in a car crash. Only in his 30’s, two children, a wife and many loving family members all devastated.
Was he ready to face eternity? Sadly, we’re not sure… There’s no way to know because up to the last week of his life here on earth, my sister could not say with certainty. And it is with “certainty,” that we must all be sure.
Do you know what the “biggest” tragedy is?

We watch a comedian we like or singer and we say, “I really love him.” “I really love her.”
But all we really are saying is that “we like the way they perform” or the talent they have for doing something well…
We can’t really “love” anyone… we don’t really know.
That’s especially true of saying “we love God.”
What about when the circumstances of our lives take a direction we despise? What about when the wheels are coming off our cart? And as we say, “That really sucks!”

Sex, seduction, infidelity, drama, hero, triumph, defeat, attempted murder, slavery trafficking, faithfulness in the face of temptation…
These are a few of the elements of this real life drama that serves to teach us about real life!
We all suffer for one of two reasons: Doing wrong or doing right.
The choice belongs to us!

What is it that all human beings have when they’re born and will have it throughout their lives?
What is it that we are forced to use everyday of our lives?
What it it that Satan can never steal from us?…..
It’s “Choice”… The power we have to choose.

Three well known celebrities have “gone on” into eternity. What does that mean?
It means they are now living somewhere else other than earth since they’ve “left their earthly” bodies.
You can’t live on “earth” without an “earthly” body and you can’t live in “eternity” with an “earthly body!” Why are we here? What does God want… really? Are Michael, Ed and Farah in heaven or hell?
The answer is clear…
