Sanford column: Only God's Water of Life can satisfy spiritual thirst

Jun 20, 2024 | dailyadvance.com | Chris Sanford

Can you remember when you were thirstiest? Maybe it was when you were younger going to play basketball with your friends. Maybe it was when you took a drive. My thirstiest time was when I was turkey hunting. kAm(6 925 ;FDE >@G65 E@ %6I2D 2?5 x H2D 9F?E:?8 @? AF3=:4 =2?5] x? >J 6I4:E6>6?E x 925 7@C8@EE6? E@ DEF5J E96 >2A 2?5[ 27E6C 2?

God will keep his promise to you

Jun 11, 2024 | dailyadvance.com | Chris Sanford

I promise! Do you always keep your promise? With the business of life and having four children, many times I make promises and forget to keep them. It’s not that I don’t wanna keep my promises, nor is it a regret of promising the thing in the first place and hoping my wife or children will forget. kAmxE :D D:>A=J x 42??@E C6>6>36C 2== @7 E96 E9:?8D E92E x 92G6 AC@>:D65 2?5 7F=7:== E96> 244@C5:?8=J]k^AmkAm&?=:<6 >6[ v@5 <66AD 6G6CJ@?6 @7 w:D AC@>:D6D[ 7@C 8@@5 @C 7@C ;F58>6?E]k^AmkAmx?
Water of Life: God can satisfy our spiritual thirst

May 14, 2024 | dailyadvance.com | Chris Sanford

Can you remember when you were thirstiest? Maybe it was when you were younger going to play basketball with your friends. Maybe it was when you took a drive. Mine was turkey hunting. We had just moved to Texas and I was hunting public hunting land. In my excitement I had forgotten to study the map and, after an unsuccessful hunt, I got lost. kAmp7E6C 9:<:?8 7@C EH@ 9@FCD 2?5 ?@ 4=@D6C E@ >J 42C E92? x H2D H96? x DE2CE65 A2?:4 3682?
Christian should be different than the world

May 4, 2024 | dailyadvance.com | Chris Sanford

Recently, at an evangelical conference for men one of the “entertainments” was a male stripper. After he had “performed,” one preacher spoke out against it, and was publicly reprimanded for doing so. This is all part of a larger problem of worldliness within the church. How does such a thing honor God?
It takes courage to follow Jesus

Feb 24, 2024 | reflector.com | Chris Sanford

Courage is attributed to those who are willing to do what needs to be done for the greater good. As the challenges that present themselves change with every generation, the courage that it takes to face those challenges remains the same. When I think of courageous people, I think of those men that stormed the beaches of Normandy, those who refused to compromise in the face of such opposition.
Christians often deal with paradoxical truth

Nov 12, 2023 | reflector.com | Chris Sanford

A man once had a dream. In this dream he was witnessing the beating of Jesus. One man in particular was whipping the back of the Lord. In his dream, the man became so frustrated that he grabbed the man’s wrist, whip and all. To his astonishment, when the man who was beating Christ turned around it was the man himself. It was as if the man dreaming was looking in a mirror. There is an old adage that one’s worst enemy is the self.

Have you obeyed the truth?

Oct 3, 2023 | dailyadvance.com | Chris Sanford

In a culture where the very word “truth” is becoming a carrion, one in which truth is treated with more hostility daily, the importance of that truth that is despised could not be more relevant, nor more important. Truth has weathered tougher storms than it currently undergoes and I am confident will come forth just as glorious as it has always been.
