Sermons & Devotionals by Ernest O'Neill

Until you get the fastest car, boat, or motorcycle. Until you marry the most beautiful girl or buy your dreamhouse. Until you get to the top of your profession. Until you have money to burn. Until you fulfil your early promise. Until you get a certain level of security. Until you do these things, yo... 阅读更多

We've seen instances in the history of mankind when a kind of supernatural life has shown itself. We've all read fantasy stories of supernatural beings and magic spells, but these instances are different from those. For one thing, they are documented in historical records that are beyond dispute som... 阅读更多

Often we feel the urge to do something noble - something really unselfish - something for someone else. We wonder where such a feeling comes from. Although we don't think of ourselves as mean, unpleasant people, yet we know we're often moved by concern about ourselves. So we feel a little elated eve... 阅读更多

Because the Creator of the universe made us part of his own son! That's the startling truth. Before the earth was made - indeed, before the universe was created - God conceived a Son like Himself - with the nature and power that He Himself possesses. At that same moment (if one can talk about a mome... 阅读更多

We've just completed a study of the results that follow from our lack of superhuman life. That's the spirit-life that our Creator intended us to experience in a close relationship with him. He made us to live in association with him as our Father. As we saw, this would result in a great sense of sec... 阅读更多

We've been discussing during these past few months a kind of supernatural life that has surfaced in individuals down through the centuries. People who experience it are able to make matter change -- rocks have split open to pour out water for men dying of thirst, mothers have seen their sons raised ... 阅读更多

Peggy Lee was a famous jazz singer. One of her hits was entitled `Is that all there is ?' It referred, of course, to life and its many experiences and implied that it's all rather disappointing and `a bit of a let-down'. Whether you think this or not, you've probably wondered what its purpose really... 阅读更多

Who Was Socrates? Socrates is regarded as the father of logic. The "Socratic" method of question and answer is the basis of all our teaching techniques. The great Greek philosopher used it skilfully to motivate his students to think more deeply about truth. Although he lived hundreds of years before... 阅读更多

For years Superpower leaders have had "hot lines" to each other-direct phone lines that were always kept open and available so that they could communicate with each other directly if an international crisis occurred in their nations' relationships. That's what conscience is! Your Personal Hot-line Y... 阅读更多

We have been discussing the fact that you and I are not simply sons and daughters of our parents. Although we entered this life on earth through their bodies, we ourselves have been created by God inside His Son who appeared on earth around 4 b.c. as Jesus of Nazareth. He existed outside this planet... 阅读更多

Most of us believe that there is some Being somewhere who created the universe. It's too irrational to imagine that this complex network of planets came from nowhere. Someone somewhere must have created the original thing that exploded or evolved into what we know as the planet Earth. Most of us als... 阅读更多

We all think we're made for something special, don't we? It doesn't matter how ordinary we are how unremarkable our appearance even how dull our personality seems to be to others. ALL of us feel somehow we were put here to do something special. It may not be something great in the world's eyes, but ... 阅读更多

The Great OOOOM ! Many of us feel a oneness with the universe. Some of us express it in the spiritualist terms of "cosmic consciousness" while others express it in terms of human unity or the Hindu idea of possession by a world-spirit. Somehow, whether we're Buddhists, Moslems, or agnostics, we all ... 阅读更多

What Does Christmas Mean? Most of us learned at Sunday School that Christmas is the birthday of Christ: that's why we call it Christmas. We learned also that Christ was the only-begotten Son of God, our Creator; so Christmas really meant God Himself (in His Son) came to earth as a human being. We we... 阅读更多

A great deal of our insecurity comes from the feeling we have that we're "on our own". Finally, after all we say about family and friends, colleagues and community, neigbours and relatives, peers and class-mates, we think of ourselves as "me against the world". Although we don't like the insecurity ... 阅读更多
