The Problem with Anger
God knows we cannot make it to His kingdom until we learn how to sacrifice our needs, our wants, and our desires, for the good of someone else. In other words, until we learn how to love one another, even the unlovable. And, we can never love until we get rid of the anger.

How to Communicate Christ
This pamphlet is basically being written to show people how others are communicating their Christian faith. I hope this report can be helpful, because I know there are so many Christians that are struggling with their faith and how to communicate it. Also it would be quite interesting to discover how improving your communication in your faith might prevent some of the violence that is taking place around the world. But I will begin with questions for reflection on this topic.

Good News from Mars (Part 2)
Paul is led up a 512 ft. hill, Mars Hill, also known as Areopagus, and there he faces the Epicureans and the Stoics (and others). These intellectual giants represented the philosophical thinking of the day in which Paul lived. And when these PhD’s saw Paul, they sneered and considered him a vain babbler (seed picker).

Go Forward!
Well, it has been said, and I believe, that the easy way out in life is never ultimately profitable – even though it may appear to be. The short and easy way only leads to a fools’ haven; a place where we feel we have arrived only to discover we have missed the mark in life.

Dark Cages
Acknowledgement of our need of God and reliance upon Him will not always rid us of life’s pressures, will not always remove from us the difficult situations, the dark cage within which we sometimes find ourselves trapped.

Distorted Perceptions
Often, in being dishonest about our own faults and failures, we have been far too insensitive and callous toward others who have fallen short.

I'm Too Busy for Me
Everyone is busy nowadays. It’s hard to find time for anything. From the time we wake up in the morning until the time we go to bed, it’s hard to find 30 minutes to simply be by yourself. If you are married with children, I know you can relate to what I am saying.

Let Your Will, Not Mine, Be Done
Can I be honest with you? There are days when I just don’t feel like getting up in the morning. I’m noticing this a lot lately because the weather is changing and it’s pretty cold early in the morning when I awake to start my day. There are days when I move that blanket off of me and quickly snatch it back because it’s too cold to get up.

A Merry Heart is Like a Medicine
Our bodies, like the body of Christ (the church) work best when every part is strong and healthy. But when one part develops an illness, our first reaction is to seek a doctor's advice for treatment so that we can ward off any further complications. If we don't take the necessary steps to healing, we become vulnerable for more serious complications to arise. This is also true among the church of believers. As a true Christian we must counterattack a
brethren who is falling ill and needs spiritual medicine for healing. How can you recognize a sickness?

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…to the ends of the earth.”
ACTS 1:8
Thousands of evangelists from more than 130 countries have attended the International Conference for Itinerant Evangelists, sponsored by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Just before I was to speak, I received a note from Billy Graham that read, “I consider this one of the most important addresses of the entire conference.”
