After the commotion ceases and Sister Gurdy regains her hat, dentures and composure, she takes her seat, the preacher says amen, there is no interpretation and the preacher picks up where he was interrupted.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The parable shows us the true nature of repentance and the Lord's readiness to welcome and bless those who return to him. When we turn from the darkness of sin to the light of eternal life, God opens our eyes and convinces us of our sin. There is unspeakable happiness of all the children of God who keep close to God, because they are, and ever shall be, ever with him.  Jesus uses the parable to teach about God's grace and acceptance of people who have been rejected by society.]]></description>

If the preacher never knows, if the church mother never calls you, realize this, God is totally aware of how you feel, and the reason He hasn’t broke through the clouds to see about you is…”You are strong enough to make it!”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Money, they say, makes the world go round.  But does it make the Gospel go round too?  If you posed this question to most radio/TV preachers and presidents of Christian ministries the answer to this question would be a resounding, "YES!"  As far as they are concerned, and would like us to believe, it does take money to spread the Gospel.  But does it really take money to spread the Gospel?  Really?]]></description>

The following will not only show you the agreements and the differences between these three perspectives as it relates to the plans and purposes of God through the cross of Jesus Christ, it will also reveal to you exactly where you stand on the extent of God's redemption.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do we put off the old man at Baptism or not, for there are some who think we should be doing it on an on going basis or in a never ending process of doing it forever and a day. Sound like salvation by works dressed up in new clothes? You bet your life it does, but then it never surprises me the 1,001 ways the Adversary cooks up his recipes of blasphemous deceptions and all eagerly served and dished up at table by ravening wolf waiters at a church restaurant near you. Please note, spiritual food poisoning is a regular hazard at these restaurants, so you have been warned in Godly love.]]></description>
