Posted on April 27, 2008 by Amos Gideon David

Yeah, so what!  You’re not perfect either. So I cringed when I realized our missionary speaker was going to preach this morning.  I mean, nothing against missionaries or anything, but have you heard them preach?  All you can hope for … Continue reading →

Posted on April 10, 2008 by Amos Gideon David

Adam in heaven?

Posted on April 10, 2008 by Amos Gideon David

He was doing pretty well up to that point, the guest speaker I mean. He had for a number of weeks filled in admirably, making a real effort to communicate God’s message from the Bible.  Nothing spectacular, but it doesn’t … Continue reading →

God was feeding them.

Posted on March 27, 2008 by Amos Gideon David

That’s what I thought as I sat there at the rescue mission looking at all the hungry men, women and children.  Maybe not where they wanted to be but I was awed at God’s provision. Jesus was feeding them.  Maybe … Continue reading →

“You know how I am.”

Posted on March 20, 2008 by Amos Gideon David

A person knows something like that, would say something like that. A theory can’t.  Theology can’t.  Rules memorized can’t.  Doctrine can’t. Only a person understands. Do we know God or do we merely know his theology? There are not many … Continue reading →

Left-handed compliments. . .

Posted on March 19, 2008 by Amos Gideon David
