Children: Milton Berle Versus the Bible

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Alan

Milton Berle Who here is familiar with the late Milton Berle? Born in on July 12, 1908 as Mendel Berlinger, he passed away around 15 years ago on March 27, 2002. So, contrary to what some of you might think, he was a bit before my time. 🙂 But, like another great comedian, Bob Hope,…

Do not turn back time

“If I Could Turn Back Time”

Posted on February 19, 2017February 26, 2017 by Alan

Regrets How many people here are fans of Cher…at least musically? Perhaps as part of Sonny and Cher? How about Eddie Money of “Two Tickets to Paradise” fame? Both came to mind this week as I was pondering this sermon because they both have songs of regret. With Cher it is “If I Could Turn…

And When You Pray… (Part 2)

Posted on February 12, 2017February 12, 2017 by Alan

Quick Review Last week we spent a good amount of time looking at two principles and sub-principles when it comes to prayer: Do not pray like Jesus said not to Do not pray selfishly Do not pray for show Do no pray thinking you can control God with your prayer Pray like Jesus said to…

And When You Pray… (Part 1)

Posted on February 5, 2017 by Alan

Becoming Mormon Some of you may already be aware of where my “formal” spiritual journeys began. Neither of my parents were religious while I grew up. My dad was, theoretically, Catholic…and my mom was just as theoretically Lutheran. So they had me baptized as a Methodist as a toddler. A few years later…maybe when I…

When the Mob Comes

Posted on January 29, 2017 by Alan

What Is a Mob? What is a mob? How would you define it? My Mac’s dictionary describes it as… a large crowd of people, especially one that is disorderly and intent on causing trouble or violence: a mob of protesters. You can see that it technically can just be “a large crowd of people”…but I…

Who Would You Kill?

Posted on January 22, 2017January 29, 2017 by Alan

Thou Shalt Not Kill We are going to jump right into Scripture today, starting with Exodus 20:13. Although I normally use the English Standard Version, I’m going to quote from the King James Version since its translation is the way I learned this commandment: 13 Thou shalt not kill. Pretty straight forward, right? What shouldn’t you…

Half-Baked (Again)

Posted on January 15, 2017January 29, 2017 by Alan

Re-Using a Sermon I have an aversion to re-using sermons. I would never re-use some else’s, but…other than quoting parts of them…I have avoided re-preaching any of mine. I can only recall reusing a sermon once. It was when I was in my 20s and originally studying religion, and I got an evening call to…

Allow Yourself to Be Pleasantly Surprised

Posted on January 8, 2017January 29, 2017 by Alan

Who Do You Want to Emulate On Friday night I asked this on Facebook and Twitter: If there is anyone (alive or dead) you would like to emulate, who is he/she? How are you doing? Do you care? Do you _really_ care? The reason I posted it is because there are some people on both…

Happy New Year (2017)

Posted on January 1, 2017 by Alan

I suspect I was not the only one to start off 2017 staying up way too late, but after about six hours of sleep I began the new year in one of the best ways possible. Reading Scripture. Many of us at the Strasburg Church of Christ are taking the blessed trek through all 66…

Returning to the First New Year’s Day

Posted on January 1, 2017January 29, 2017 by Alan

How Many? Just curious…how many New Year’s Days do you think there have been? [Wait for answers.] Personally, based on the Bible, I think it has been less than ten thousand. I know that seems to contradict the geological record and other scientific evidence of the age of the universe, but science also cannot explain…

Baby Jesus, Did You Know?

Posted on December 25, 2016January 1, 2017 by Alan

Away in a Manger I’m not sure I would say it is in my top three, but I really like Christmas carol, “Away in a Manger.” We all know its first verse, right?: Away in a manger, no crib for his bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head; The stars in the…

Merry Christmas (2016)

Posted on December 25, 2016December 25, 2016 by Alan

It is past midnight here in Strasburg, Colorado…so we have crossed into Christmas Day. In a world where minute-by-minute (and overall) life can seem quite askew…Christmas reminds us of a Savior that came to set everything right. To bring peace on earth and goodwill to men. Merry Christmas and our love to all!

Anticipating the Arrival

Posted on December 18, 2016December 18, 2016 by Alan

Just Can’t Wait! Have you ever really, really looked forward to something? Looked forward to it so much you just couldn’t wait…and it seemed to take forever? What was it? A trip to some exotic place? Your wedding day? Something else? Christmas? Kids, when I was your age I just couldn’t wait for Christmas. It…

The Reunion

Posted on December 11, 2016December 11, 2016 by Alan

Denver International Airport Yesterday, Michelle, Augie, and I got up a bit early for a Saturday, headed over to Denver International Airport and picked up… Who did we pick up Augie? That’s right! His big brother Mikey…or “Michael” as he is more formally known to most others. 🙂 And although mom and dad were also…

I Didn’t Do It!

Posted on December 4, 2016December 10, 2016 by Alan

Good or Evil What do you think? Are humans inherently good or evil? How many here believe humans are inherently good? How many here believe humans are inherently evil? I suspect the best answer to the question, “Are humans inherently good or evil?” is… Yes. 🙂 But, if there is one thing that I think…
