I read a funny story in one of those chain e-mails that people send. It said,. He said to himself. As he walked alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. As he turned to look, he saw a seven foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. Am I to count you as a believer?

Monday, August 04, 2008. Sermon 8/3/08 Why Not Mix God and Politics Part Three "Moral Issues: Am I MY Brother's Keeper". Moral Issues: Am I My Brother’s Keeper. In this sermon I want to examine these moral issues in more detail and talk about how, as Christians how we can best represent our faith when it comes to voting. I want to say a couple of things up front though. As we consider moral issues together, I want to begin by explaining a simple truth that often goes ignored. Every person holds ̶...

Brian Davis' Blog!: Sermon 8/2/09 “The Upside to a Down Economy
http://thevinefcumc.blogspot.com/2009/08/sermon-8209-upside-to-down-economy.html
Sunday, August 02, 2009. Sermon 8/2/09 “The Upside to a Down Economy. Many of us are well aware that we have been in a recession for some time now. I believe that while the economy is very bad and people are suffering a great deal, there is also an upside to a down economy. I know that for those who are really hurting, this sounds unsympathetic, but I in no way mean it this way. Instead, I hope you will be able to find hope in the hopelessness. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Sunday, May 11, 2008. Sermon 5/11/08 Pentecost Sunday "Being Bilingual". 8220;Being Bilingual”. Today is a very special Sunday for a number of reasons. First, it is Mother’s Day. Second, it is Confirmation Sunday at our church and third, it is Pentecost. I want to begin this message by honoring mothers. To do this, I want to give your husband some advise about buying gifts for you for Mother’s Day. 1 Don't buy anything that plugs in. Anything that requires electricity is seen as utilitarian. She'll ask&#...

Sunday, March 30, 2008. Sermon 3/30/08 1 Peter Part One: "Aliens in America. 8220;Aliens in America”. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Peter addresses this difficulty as we have seen by telling us that our faith will lead to something worth far more than the values of the world. He follows this up by grounding the Christian faith in the very purposes of God. He writes,. Peter’s message to the churches of Asia Minor and his message to us today is that the gospel of Jesus is ...

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Book Review: What You do Best in the Body of Christ by Bruce Bugbee. Dennis Flaugher gave this book to me to give to my wife about a year ago, but I failed to take it out of my truck, so I decided to read it instead. Overall, I found this book to be helpful and I would recommend it to persons struggling with how they should serve God. I don't agree with some of Bugbee's theology, but I would not want to throw the baby out with the bath water. Links to this post. I believe her b...

Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Book Review: The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith by Timothy Keller. All of my Presbyterian friends have been telling me to read two books by Tim Keller, so I finally gave in and read. Tim Keller is the pastor an inner city church in New York called, Redeemer Presbyterian Church. He has a huge audience through his books and sermons. He is very well loved, especially in the Reformed Tradition. I found this book to be very insightful. Links to this post.

Wholly Singles Confrence 08“The Main Thing is to keep the Main Thing, the Main Thing. Matthew 22:34-40 and Mark 12:28-34.
