Hometown Blues
How could those who knew Jesus so well, and saw His miracles, not believe He was the long awaited Messiah? Why is faith so elusive? Do you sometimes doubt? Is there an antidote?
09/08/2001
A Holy Ghost Anointing
This isn't about the latest televangelist scandal. Nor is it a charismatic twist to the usual hum-drum of religion. "When the Messiah Is Your Mentor"-you really do need to take seriously his own confession that he himself lived a Holy Ghost anointed life-and that he calls his disciples to do the same. You can't anoint yourself. Where then shall we turn, we who follow the Christ?

God's 911 Call in Our 9-11 Crisis
A 911 tribute. What can be learned from this tragedy? Can God transform the shards of doubt and fear into a mosaic of promise?

In Remembrance of Our Hero Celebrating Calvary in the Light of NYC
Gripping stories related to September 11 point us to an even greater Hero. If your life were to end today, as many did on September 11, would you be secure in your relationship to Christ? A communion celebration.

New York & Beyond: Raw Terror, Raw Faith
Did Jesus predict an epidemic of fear just prior to His return? As an antidote to terror, Jesus offers this generation a three-fold prescription for raw faith.

The Thanksgiving Phoenix: From Ashes a Grateful Heart, Part 1
A discovery of joy: out of the trials of life a phoenix of gratitude can indeed yet rise.

The Thanksgiving Phoenix: From Ashes a Grateful Heart, Part 2
An ancient dungeon-bound prisoner once scribbled words out of which a phoenix of hope arose, "Come before winter!"
12/01/2001
The Christmas Phoenix: Out of the Ashes a Hopeful Heart, Part 1
Suffering is universal. Which does not mean that good is not also universal. How God can bring something very good out of something very bad?
12/08/2001
The Christmas Phoenix: Out of the Ashes a Hopeful Heart, Part 2
In a world filled with violence, an eye-for-an-eye and tooth-for-a-tooth kind of world, is peace a mirage that teases but never really materializes? What is the peace that God promises?
