David Lemming, D.Min. Sunday, December 28, 2014. Whom Will You Serve? We’re busier than we’ve ever been and there are more things vying for our attention these days. Many worthy causes cry for our involvement and commitment. That’s why it is so important that we regularly stop to ask ourselves the question,. 8220;Whom will I serve? The fact is that you cannot do everything and we each have to prioritize the things that are most important and have eternal value. Someone has said that,. Actively participat...

Crossreference: Seeing What God Sees
http://wvrevdave.blogspot.com/2011/10/why-do-we-fail-to-see-people-way-god.html
David Lemming, D.Min. Monday, October 10, 2011. Seeing What God Sees. Why do we fail to see people the way God sees them? How can we miss what is most important in other people's lives? Why don't we recognize the real need for mission work here and around the world? The disciples of Christ struggled with this issue in the same way we do at times and you hear Jesus’ diagnosis of their problem in the story of the Samaritan woman. We don't see as God sees. When will enough (things) be enough? Whatever happe...

Crossreference: Don't Judge Me!!
http://wvrevdave.blogspot.com/2011/03/dont-judge-me.html
David Lemming, D.Min. Wednesday, March 02, 2011. Don’t judge me! That’s an oft heard refrain from people who are sometimes trying to justify conduct they know is wrong. Granted, some people can be overly “judgmental” and harsh, at times. But, more often than not, when a person makes this kind of statement it is because he is stinging from the rebuke of his own guilty conscience. Should we not judge the truthfulness of the telemarketer that says he’ll ship the item as soon as he receives our check? Judgin...

Crossreference: The “Real” Last Words of Christ (Love)
http://wvrevdave.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-real-last-words-of-christ-love.html
David Lemming, D.Min. Sunday, May 03, 2015. The “Real” Last Words of Christ (Love). In this series of messages, I have been asking you to lean in and listen carefully to some of the “last words” of Christ following His resurrection and before His ascension back to Heaven. Too often, we think of Jesus’ last words as those He spoke while hanging on the cross. But, the “real” last words of Christ are the ones recorded after He arose from the grave. 8220;Nothing can account for such a number as five hundred ...

Crossreference: The Fear of the Lord
http://wvrevdave.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-fear-of-lord.html
David Lemming, D.Min. Sunday, June 28, 2015. The Fear of the Lord. Psalm 128:1 (cf. Deuteronomy 5:24-29). One of the results of a skewed view of God is a diminished “fear of the Lord”. That too often characterizes the lives of believers, as well as loss of a deep appreciation for His attributes of love, mercy, grace, patience and goodness. What motivated the early Christians as much as their blessings from God was their “fear of the Lord.”. For instance, it was the “fear of the Lord”. Matthew 10:28—...

David Lemming, D.Min. Sunday, July 26, 2015. Jennifer Knapp was a contemporary Christian music artist who had been away from the music scene for several years when she did an interview about her self-imposed hiatus and her new album she had just recorded at the time. During the discussion with the host of the program she made a statement that I think many Evangelical Christians probably believe, but really needs some countercultural biblical analysis. And she believed it was not. 8220;It’s a place ...

About her self-imposed hiatus and her new album she had just recorded.

David Lemming, D.Min. Sunday, November 30, 2014.
