Let's Go Fishing - Matthew 4:19 - Jul 1, 1990 - 578
Somewhere in my past I heard the story about a man who was a phenomenal fisherman. He was so good that his fame spread far and wide. When everyone else was catching two or three fish a day he would come back with two or three hundred. Eventually the local game warden decided to investigate becaus ... More
Are You Living By Creative Risk? - Matthew 4:22-32 - Oct 20, 1991 - 785
It was Helen Keller who said, "Life is either a daring adventure, or it is nothing at all."

Born blind, deaf and unable to speak, she somehow found a w ... More

This is the hardest passage in the New Testament. That’s what my Greek professor said when we were studying I Peter in seminary. I recall him saying that there are so many possible views about these verses that it is impossible to be certain what they mean. The problem partly relates to the Gr ... More
Repent! The Forgotten Doctrine of Salvation - Acts 17:30 - Aug 9, 1998 - 246
In 1937 the American Tract Society sponsored a contest in which they offered a prize of $1,000 for the best new book written on one of the “essential evangelical doctrines of the Christian faith.” Sixty-one years ago, $1,000 was a lot of money and a great many well-known Christian author ... More
