Paul says…Do everything without complaining or arguing… I’ve never lost an argument. But then, I’ve never won one, either. By nature, arguments are un-winnable and un-losable. The best you can hope for is a draw.  I learned a trick a few years ago. When I feel an argument coming on about any futile subject (the … Continue reading »

I’ve been doing some study for a couple of Christmas messages I’ll be giving at Christian Life Center in December.  Hard to believe the holidays are upon us once again! In Luke’s account of the Christmas story he used the phrase, “All who heard the shepherd’s story were astonished, but Mary quietly treasured those things in heart and … Continue reading »

For every challenge that becomes manageable by benefit of procrastination, 99 just get bigger. … Continue reading »

Many of us prayed for God to heal Pastor Chris Corbisello.  We fervently prayed in faith believing God’s promises to do exceedingly and abundantly beyond what medical professionals could do.  God had other plans in mind.  Nevertheless, he did answer our prayers…just not the way we wanted.  When she took her last breath in this … Continue reading »

It is with great sadness that I share with you the news of the death of Pastor Chris Corbisello, who has been a part of Christian Life Center’s ministry team for 18 years.  Chris entered into the presence of Jesus, whom she dearly loved and served on Monday, November 23, 2009 at approximately 5:45AM.

Windows 7 is now available. I haven’t quite figured out their numbering system, but regardless, Microsoft is aggressively marketing Windows 7 these days. One campaign seen in NFL games involves summarizing each game in seven words. (Because it’s Windows 7) Near the end of each game, the announcers make a seven-word summary, something along the lines … Continue reading »

A young fan once asked world famous boxer Muhammad Ali for advice on what direction to take in life. The heavyweight’s reply was “Stay in college, get the knowledge.
