God’s Expectation When It Comes To Worship
Our workplaces expect a certain way to be followed for carrying out the required tasks. When we hire someone to complete a job for us, we expect the job to be completed based on our expectations & specifications. When we place an order at a restaurant, we expect to receive what we requested! Why then, …
Is Customer Service Important?
Customer service means doing what you can to help someone who has chosen your organization to meet whatever need they are seeking to have met. Regardless of whatever product I am after, the most important thing to me is customer service. When I think of the customer service model, I think of the Lord’s church. …

How To Make Sermons Last
A Preacher posted recently someone had commented to him “sermons are ineffective because they are forgotten by the time people get to the restaurant after church.” This statement concerned me because I feel the person who suggested this idea to the Preacher put Preachers in a negative light (probably not intentionally). I, like you, have …
TV: What can we watch?
Several years ago I can remember thinking, “Christians do not have options when it comes to television programming.” Not long after I pondered this thought, the Gospel Broadcasting Network was developed and went “live.” What is the Gospel Broadcasting Network (GBN)? GBN is simply the best & most informative Scriptural programming available that provides 24 …
If Tomorrow Never Comes…
A few years ago, the song entitled “If Tomorrow Never Comes” was popular. The point of the song is to be sure and tell those around us how much they mean to us before their life or our life ends. This means telling someone we love them and showing them how much concern we have …
Why Should We see The Good In Others?
Recently, I saw an old college friend at a restaurant. While taking a few minutes to “catch up,” I mentioned how much respect I have for his Christian father-in-law who I’ve known for nearly thirty years. My friend stared at the ground, smiled, looked at me, and stated, “He’s been so good to me. He’s …
