Sermons by Bruce Wersen (Page 4)

Our planet is sailing around the sun like a big ol’ cruise ship. And we wear the Captain’s uniform of compassion, kindness, and encouragement.

Salvation produces shining works of faith, the way a lit lamp or Roman candle produces light. That’s our fire “proof” in the dark down here.

If love doesn’t drive us, something else will. So what’s driving you? Guilt? Anger? Approval? Greed? Fear?

What’s the best way to display our identity to the world? “Show them the goodness of God.”

Our Father isn’t out to get us. However, He absolutely is out to train us. So look for and celebrate the little gains.

God will use the most messed up past the moment He becomes the highest moral authority. Which simply means that we love others above all things.

Do you preach what you say you practice? We moralize and sermonize with every roll of the eyes, eyebrow rise, lip curl, cheek puff, and shoulder shrug.

Although there’s a time to love and a time to hate, there’s never a time to let hate infiltrate our heart.
