That question can be answered with a “Yes” or “No,” but along with those brief answers there should be an accompanying spoken or unspoken reason for such an assertion. The label “Christian” is pretty common in today’s world. Some will assume that if one is not a Jew or Muslim then he is a Christian,Continue reading “Are You a Christian?”

Making A Difference Around the World
We said farewell to our friend Bertha a few days ago who, on the third Lord’s Day of March in 2021, was escorted through the heavens to her home on high where she has an irrevocable deed to a dwelling place where Jesus lives and where she will live with Him and His forevermore. HerContinue reading “Making A Difference Around the World”
A Child’s Prayer Answered
This story has been in the making more than 55 years and I will share with you the exciting continuing saga as up to date as this day, but first a bit of background.

A young man who had lived on the southside of Indianapolis, ending up for help at Lester Roloff’s Lighthouse for men from whence he would migrate to Tennessee Temple College in the early 1970’s, and a quiet, shy young lady from Prosperity, West Virginia, also a student at TTC at that same time, met, fell inContinue reading ““If We Did Not Go, Who Would Go?””

Two Kinds of Wisdom
Job asked, “Where shall wisdom be found?” James queries, “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge?” The quest for life’s age-old answers concerning wisdom, its source and substance, takes one ultimately to the Book of Wisdom, Solomon’s Proverbs: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” and on a similar theme, “The fear ofContinue reading “Two Kinds of Wisdom”
The Taming of the Tongue
Solomon said, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” (Provs. 18:21) Nobody has ever yet been able to measure the power of this small mouth member. Man has harnessed energy and with a button can detonate bombs, yet he has not learned to control the tongue. The courses of great ships on the seas andContinue reading “The Taming of the Tongue”
About Anxiety
“Be anxious for nothing” Paul the Apostle exhorts his Philippian brothers and sisters in Christ (Phil. 4:4) even as he awaited in prison what was certain to be for him a trip to the beheading block. He was intensely involved in church planting, and the 1st century climate in which he was evangelizing was anything but friendlyContinue reading “About Anxiety”
