Answering The Call
Am I FAT?
February 7 2010 by J. Shore
Recently, a really good friend of mine asked me this question. As every man, woman and child knows, it’s a question LACED with opportunity for trouble. Many an argument has been had over that very question being asked and a reply being attempted. My friend, however, wasn’t referring to her weight but was asking me for Christian accountability. You see, her FAT was an acronym. Faithful, Active,...

No 'Flash in the Pan' Needed
January 21 2010 by J. Shore
The tragedy in Haiti has caught America (and the World’s) attention. Everywhere you look; there is information on how you can give and what you can do to help this devastated country. If you Googled “help for Haiti” on Thursday (1/21) at 2:15, you’d get $133 million returns. As I did with 9/11, I have chosen to be very careful about what I watch and read regarding the pain and loss in Haiti. I...

Oh how many times her daughter had asked why s...

The world would have us believe that, in order to really celebrate Christmas, we MUST shop on Black Friday, attend every function we are invited to, eat more tha...

Joys in the Midst of Pain
November 30 2009 by J. Shore
When you Google the words joy in the midst of pain, you will get back approximately 1,840,000 responses. When I do a word search on www.biblegateway.com, the most often responses are either Job or John and there aren’t many others. It’s one of those sayings that you hear often but don’t dwell on. I mean, why can’t we have joy without the pain? A couple of weeks ago, I experienced many joys in ...

God doesn’t need your money
Snow and ice closed lots of church buildings last Sunday and unless I miss my guess, it kept a lot of checks from being written, as well. I could hear my pastor’s dentures hit the carpet a few years ago when I brought the “stewardship moment” during our church’s annual campaign. I opened up by saying, “Good news! God doesn’t need your money! Nothing you give, nor anything you hoard will keep G...
