WE DON’T TAKE REQUESTS!
Today, about lunch time, I was near a Pizza Hut outside my immediate area and decided to stop for the buffet. After entering this establishment and seeing the poor food choices I asked if someone could put in an order for a specific kind of pizza. The greeter politely but firmly said, “We don’t take […]
Playing Church
The story is told of a mother who was cleaning house one day when she heard the water running in the upstairs bathroom. So she naturally went to investigate. When she reached the top of the stairs, through the open bathroom door, she could see her son holding one of his sister’s baby dolls above […]
Oklahoma tornado damage
Everyone has been left shocked and heartbroken by the recent tornado in Moore, OK. Meteorologists have said this tornado was about a mile wide, traveled 17 miles on the ground, and produced winds up to 200 mph, making this tornado an EF4 (and these numbers may increase). From the immense damage to structures to the […]
Teach us to number our days
I READ OF an old Norwegian who had kept very careful notes of his life in a series of notebooks he kept on the shelf of his business… On his eightieth birthday he went to the store and pulled the books from the shelf and began to compute his life. He was surprised to find […]
Sufferings faced by Jesus
Jesus died an awful death. Ruthless assassins, terrorists, sadistic and serial killers, and perverted criminals all have received much more humane treatment. What Jesus endured at the cross can only be described as vicious. Consider the violent aspects of His crucifixion. THERE WAS PHYSICAL TORTURE. He was scourged, beaten with a jagged whip (Mt. 27:27). […]
The Bible: Many stories, one book
IN HER BOOK Mystery on the Desert, Maria Reiche describes a series of strange lines made by the Nazca in the plains of Peru, some of them covering many square miles… For years, people assumed these lines were the remnants of ancient irrigation ditches. Then in 1939, Dr. Paul Kosok of Long Island University discovered […]
Some thoughts on *reputation*
It was a cool morning in Jerusalem when they came face to face. One, a ruler, had come to town due to politics; the other, a King, had come out of love. A son of Herod the Great, Herod Antipas, was worldly, cruel and ambitious. He was rebuked by John the Baptist (Mark 6:18) and […]
Honesty is the best policy
THE STORY IS told of a father who took his two boys one afternoon to play miniature golf… The father walked up to the man at the ticket counter and said, “How much is it to get in?” The young man replied, “Three dollars for you and three dollars for any kid who is older […]
Job 11:6
This statement was not made regarding the final judgment of man. Instead, a grieving Job is responding to the poor perceptions and assumptions of an arrogant man, Zophar the Naamathite. Zophar had rashly said such things as, “Know therefore that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves” (Job 11:6). Job lost every dollar […]
The Scarlet Letter
HAD IT NOT been for a confident and encouraging wife, Sofia, we might not have listed among the great names of literature the name of Nathaniel Hawthorne… When Nathaniel, a heartbroken man, went home to tell his wife he was a failure and had been fired from his job in a customhouse, she surprised him […]
The power of thought
AS A MAN Thinketh by James Allen is arguably the best non-inspired book ever written on the power of thought… Allen compared the mind to a garden and its owner to a master gardener. A good character is not the product of chance any more than a beautiful garden could happen by accident. Integrity is […]
“He hath blessed thy children within thee”
The Psalms contain some wonderful lessons for every generation of mankind. Though written more than 3,000 years ago, these songs and devotions of David provide insight into the nature of God and the very nature of man. The 147th Psalm is no exception. Israel has returned from a long night of Babylonian Captivity. It has […]
