... behind him. One was a young boy about six or seven years of age. Next to him was a man in his early thirties. And next to the man was a woman in her early sixties. The man could not help overhearing the conversation among these three persons as the plane made final plans for departure from the gate. It was not long before he realized that they were the woman pilot's family. The boy was her son. The man was her husband. And the older woman was her mother. Suddenly he realized why the family was on the ...

... own! No, real believing is not easy. II. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE TO THIS MATTER OF BELIEVING. Almost as soon as I announced the title for today’s sermon, I regretted it. It does seem that for many people today, like the fellow on the plane, belief comes easy. These days it seems that people seem willing to believe almost anything. Marilyn Monroe is supposed to have said, “I believe in everything...a little bit.” That’s us. Many people today remind me of the White Queen in Alice in Wonderland. She ...

As the pilot of the small seaplane let them off on the shore of the lake, he reminded them, "Now like I said, I''ll be back in three days to get you. But remember, this is a small plane, there''s room for two of you and one moose." At the appointed time, the pilot returned, taxied to the shore and found the two men standing proudly beside not one but two moose, huge ones at that.

At this point the man who owned the bi-plane, and who had heard this conversation as far back as he could remember, intervened. "Listen, you two, I'll make you a deal. I'll give you both a ride for free if you promise not to say anything during the flight. If you speak even one word, I'll ...

One day as he was returning to England from a war mission, his plane was hit and he crash-landed just after he crossed the English Channel. He was almost dead, so close to being dead in fact that the doctors in the hospital decided not to operate on him because they didn't see how he could survive. Later, when he finally ...

In an interview late that night, the counselor said that this was his first time flying. He said that during the tumbles, turns, and pitches of the plane, though he is an atheist, he prayed! “This might make me change my ways,” he concluded. (1) I guess it might! There are stories in the Bible of people who met Christ and then changed their ways. Such is the story of the woman at the well ...

Some people in our group fell asleep immediately, but I’m one of those persons who not only doesn’t sleep well on planes… I don’t sleep at all on planes! So, when we began to circle Houston preparing to land, I looked out the window with tired eyes. What a thrill it was to see the Houston skyline, and then I saw our church, and our house… and I was so glad to be home. The trip was fantastic, but ...

The gospel has the power to save to "rescue the perishing" but only if those called to discipleship understand the nature of their mission and choose to accept it. 5. The final gesture the airboss makes sends the waiting plane and pilot off into the sky. This gesture is the grandest of the lot. For now that everything is ready for takeoff, the airboss must do one more thing. Can you guess what it is? Get out of the way! The airboss takes a giant step to the ...

I am impressed with what Jeremy told Lyz during the twenty minutes they were able to talk before the plane went down. Interviewed on “Dateline,” Lyzbeth Glick shared the essence of that conversation: “We said I love you a thousand times over and over again, and it just brought so much peace to us,” says Lyzbeth . . . “He told me, `I love Emmy’ who is our daughter ...

... . Then they began running for help. From the bank, one man dove into the cold water and swam to the woman, rescuing her from certain death. Later, the young man said, “Somebody had to help that woman.” Now there were six people standing on the wing of the plane. A rescue helicopter hovered above them. Someone in the helicopter lowered a long line with a life ring at the end. This life ring was the only hope the six survivors had. Among those six people on the wing, there was an older man, in his fifties ...

We're all right. The world's smartest man just jumped out of the plane wearing my backpack." Isn't it interesting how a new perspective can change our outlook? From bleak to bright with just a few well-chosen words. Perhaps more than any other message in this series of Lenten sermons, this is the message we need most in the Church ...

It was then that I prayed to God: ‘If you send that plane back, I’ll tell everybody that I believe in you.’ Other planes flew on, but that plane came back. Why? Did it just happen? No, God sent that plane back." And so it is with our prayers. What do we make of all of this? More people than we can guess ask: "What does it all ...

As they struggled with the bulb, no one noticed the aircraft was losing altitude, and the plane simply flew right into the swamp. Dozens of people were killed in the crash. While an experienced crew of high-priced pilots fiddled with a seventy-five-cent light bulb, the plane with its passengers flew right into the ground. (4) That happens sometimes. It happens in business, it happens in the home, it happens in our daily lives. We lose sight ...

Business guru Tom Peters tells about a businessman whom he admires whose motto is `anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.' "The logic is impeccable," says Peters.

Yet if Bell hadn't foisted that piece of junk on the world, and if Orville and Wilbur ...

A commercial pilot told Bruce that such crashes were tragic and unnecessary. "Pilots are taught," he said, "To go up when they can't see in a fog. They keep going up until they ...

They have a great day of pulling in salmon and then return to their plane late in the afternoon. Much to their surprise, they find the aircraft high and dry because of the fluctuating tides. There is no choice but to wait until morning when incoming tides will make takeoff possible again. The next morning, with the ...

And, true enough, as the pilot was doing a sharp loop, a wing broke off and the plane crashed. Someone standing nearby asked the man, "How did you know?" "I built that plane," came the reply. God knows us better than we knows ourselves. And He loves us. He will not allow the tempter to destroy us without our consent. How about you ...

A few years back one of these planes was lost in a freak accident. No, it didn’t crash into a mountain. It didn’t run out of fuel or have one of its parts malfunction. Rather, it committed suicide.
