A Classic for Easter Weekend

Catastrophe Interrupted
We’ve been warned repeatedly. Gloom hangs heavy because we all know what is supposed to happen to us at the end. It was a done deal. It really was.
Spiritual Cookery—Making End Runs Around the Bland and Forgettable
The average healthy church will consume a minimum of 1,040 sermons within a twenty year period, and possibly touch on as many as fifteen thousand Bible verses. Don’t waste any of it.

The Apostle Paul warns that wielding the sword of judgment, even with great dexterity, won’t earn anyone points on the Day of God’s wrath.
