Romans 6:15-23

Sermon

King Duncan

... around the world. In that book he introduced a character named Simon Potter. Simon called himself a Ragpicker—because he had devoted his life to rescuing people who had ended up on life’s refuse pile. Fifteen years later Mandino brought Simon back in another classic work called, The Return of the Ragpicker. In this book, Simon, now a hearty and still vigorous 95-year-old man, was still changing lives by his ability to see to the heart of things and his continued commitment to reaching those on the ...

1127. Good for What Ails Us

Matthew 9:35-38

Sermon

R. Kevin Mohr

... , there were a lot of home and folk remedies being prescribed by well-meaning individuals, but also by con artists and charlatans. The remedy was often administered accompanied by the phrase that the supposed cure was “good for what ails you.” The classic, all-purpose remedy for nearly every condition was a table-spoonful of castor oil. Perhaps some of you suffered through that treatment or gave it to someone else. After settling on the title for this sermon, I “googled” the phrase “good for what ...

In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern.

Amy Lowell

The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always graver than its performance - whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being played.

Andre Previn

His voice is to entertainment what the kazoo is to classical music.

Anonymous

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.

Bruce Lee

Innovation! One cannot be forever innovating. I want to create classics.

Coco Chanel

Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.

Cyril Connolly

I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland. And when we moved to America, it was just the typical thing except I was really good at it so was my brother.

Eddie Van Halen

On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, they classic face, Thy naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece And the grandeur that was Rome.

Edgar Allan Poe

In science, read, by preference, the newest works in literature, the oldest. The classic literature is always modern.

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

Classic music is th' kind that we keep thinkin'll turn into a tune.

Frank McKinney

The difference between religion and morality lies simply in the classical division of things into the divine and the human, if one only interprets this correctly.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The classics are only primitive literature. They belong to the same class as primitive machinery and primitive music and primitive medicine.

Stephen Leacock

Quality in a classical Greek sense is how to live with grace and intelligence, with bravery and mercy.

Theodore White

The biggest ignorance displayed in Christianity is the ignoring of literary styles throughout the bible. The distilling of so much interpretation into a literal approach has shipwrecked the mind of many a Christian. It's time to return to classic studies and learn the complexities and subtleties of literature.

Brett Blair

The Sins, classically listed under Vices, cannot simply be moved to the Virtue list without great harm to Truth, and consequently, to our humanity.

Sermon

King Duncan

... at some time or another. Some people whether young or old have a stubborn streak in them that causes them to rebel no matter how harmless the request. A four‑year‑old child named Melissa may have had that streak of stubbornness. Melissa saw the classic movie The Ten Commandments on television a few years back. She learned from that movie that one of God’s names is “I Am That I Am.” For days thereafter, true to her contrary style, Melissa strode around the house announcing, “I am not that ...

At a meeting of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Bobby Richardson, former New York Yankee second baseman, offered a prayer that is a classic in brevity and poignancy: "Dear God, Your will, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. Amen."

1146. Giving Comfort

Isaiah 40:1-31

Sermon

King Duncan

Once there was a Baptist minister and humorist named Grady Nutt. Grady could tell some of the most hilarious stories. One of Grady’s classic stories was of a seminary student who pastored a rural church on the weekends. Word came to this student preacher that a man in his church had died. Could he come and conduct the funeral? The young preacher had never done a funeral before, but after receiving counsel from one ...

1147. I Was Sooooo Mad!

Humor

A mom from Minnesota sent this charming story to the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper: She and her little daughter were listening to an oldies station one day in the car. The classic song "Soul Man" came on, and both mother and child sang along enthusiastically. But when Mom stopped singing, she noticed that her little one had slightly changed the words. She was singing at the top of her lungs, "I was sooooo mad. . . ." Contributed by Ruby of Arden Hills in Life ...

John 1:43-51

Sermon

King Duncan

... cliff. Even when they threatened to nail him to a tree. Now you expect that of Jesus, don’t you? You expect him to stay true to his values. Do you expect it out of yourself? That’s the real question of the morning. There is classic story told of a Baptist church that was seeking to hire a new pastor. In Baptist churches a search committee visits several churches to listen to prospective pastors preach, and then invites the pastor that best meets their needs to come and preach for the whole congregation ...

2 Corinthians 5:20b-6:10

Sermon

King Duncan

... sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” Paul, of course, is talking about Christ’s death on the cross. This is the supreme sacrifice so that our sins may be forgiven. A pastor named Robert Noblett tells about an episode on the classic TV show M*A*S*H. Some of you will remember that the show is set in the Korean War. Hawkeye is on a bus with some South Korean refugees. The bus comes very close to some North Korean soldiers and, in order to avoid being discovered, the driver ...

1150. A Nod of Recognition

John 3:14-21

Sermon

Timothy W. Ayers

... just for them to die in the desert. It amazes me and others how much the wandering Jews romanticized their lives in Egypt. They often wished to go back. In the early 1980’s Keith Green became one of the leaders of the Christian rock movement. One of his classic songs was a parody of this desire to go back to Egypt. It was entitled “So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt.” It is worth a listen on YouTube and will help you understand the insanity of their wishes in a humorous light. One of the best images Keith ...
