New England Pastor: A Salvation Parable
http://newenglandpastor.blogspot.com/2012/06/salvation-parable.html
Thursday, June 21, 2012. Throughout the year, both fathers worked extra hours to earn enough money. They denied themselves personal pleasure - all for the sake of acquiring the one goal towards which they were working. When Christmas morning came, each father had butterflies. They were so excited about the joy they would surely see on the faces of each of their sons. As the first father handed the small box to his son, unable to contain his excitement, he joyfully explained how exciting the gift was....

New England Pastor: More Grace-Oriented Than Jesus
http://newenglandpastor.blogspot.com/2012/04/more-grace-oriented-than-jesus.html
Tuesday, April 3, 2012. More Grace-Oriented Than Jesus. While searching through the archives of our magazine. New England Pastor , I came across this editorial I wrote in May 2009. I thought it might scratch where someone is itching today. Scriptures taken from the New King James Version. Herbert E. Douglass, Should We Ever Say, “I Am Saved”? Nampa, Idaho: Pacific Press, 2003), 71. See 2 Corinthians 3:18. April 3, 2012 at 3:14 PM. What did I owe and why? How can the seeker understand the indescribable gr...

New England Pastor: July 2012
http://newenglandpastor.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 1, 2012. Pastor: Preacher or Comedian? I made a decision some time ago that when I am preaching, I want to give the audience less of me and more of Jesus. I certainly have not arrived yet, of course. I know that, far too often, there is still a lot of Shawn and little of Jesus. When this happens, though, the focus turns away from Christ and onto me. Similarly, when we look into the audience and see blank faces, we worry that we are inadequate as a preacher. So we reach for the humor. Ironica...

Greek) Resurrection. “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life.” John 11:25. Friday, May 22, 2009. Springtime in the desert is beautiful. As I saw these flowers brightening up what could be a rather dull landscape, I was reminded that God can do the same in our lives. Sometimes we feel like we are going through a barren, desert period but God can make beauty come even out of this if we will look to Him in faith. The Grand Canyon is the deepest "valley" in North America. Compare that t...

Greek) Resurrection. “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life.” John 11:25. Sunday, April 19, 2009. Why did my tried and true methods not work with these two? If I couldn't get through to them, who could? A few days later when talking with my pastor about this “impossible case”, the words to a quotation I had read the previous week hit me with such force. I had thought the problem was. But in reality it was. But I was made to learn I didn't. 8221; But I praise God for the Spirit of Proph...

Greek) Resurrection. “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life.” John 11:25. Sunday, March 08, 2009. His words made me think of another portrait of Jesus - one where you and I are the canvass. As a child I would sing this song written by another Christian artist - Joni Ereackson Tada. Father, you are the artist with canvass and paint. Color my life with your blue skies and rain. Paint seasons of sunshine in places of pain. Till I am picture of Him. Father, I am a canvass for you to create.

Anastasia: What Adventists Could Learn from the JWs

Greek) Resurrection. “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life.” John 11:25. Friday, March 19, 2010. What Adventists Could Learn from the JWs. I almost wish we had to face more persecution if it would weed out the insincere from joining our ranks. Would it not make our membership stronger? 8221; The urgency of the end presses them to set aside pleasures and entertainment now. How convicted are we that the end is near? All baptized members put in outreach hours. She said she averages 8...

Greek) Resurrection. “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life.” John 11:25. Sunday, January 31, 2010. The Heart of the Matter. The students spoke with conviction. Several of the guys began to cry as they appealed to the students to commit everything to Christ. Here is a sample of one message on "Why Embrace God's Remnant Church? Preached by one of my students Andrew Campbell. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My name comes from Anastasia meaning “resurrection.” My middle name C...

Greek) Resurrection. “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life.” John 11:25. Sunday, December 07, 2008. It is the time of year when we think about the first coming of Jesus as a baby, but recently I had an experience that made me think much of His second coming. Ironically, it was connected with the birth of a baby boy. I hope the baby doesn’t come till after this weekend.”. Lord, can I get married first? Lord, I want to build my dream home! Lord, I want to first travel the world! Audiove...
