God’s Faithfulness Through a Time of Crisis
(This is a special edition of “You and God” written by my wife, Ellen, who, as many of you know, has recently been in a local ICU hospital unit for a week, and, at one time, was told her condition was of urgent concern, as you will note when you read this. I have askedContinue reading “God’s Faithfulness Through a Time of Crisis”
This Present Hour
“The present hour is an hour of crisis worldwide. I think these are the most critical days that we as a nation have ever faced, and since we are citizens of the United States of America, we must not turn our backs upon our beloved Motherland in her most critical hour. I do not thinkContinue reading “This Present Hour”
A Read You Won’t Forget
For 20-plus years, a group of men have been meeting to discuss the content, character, and Christian caliber of whatever book we have chosen to read together. We have been blessed beyond measure for many reasons: coffee, donuts, camaraderie and, above all, learning and loving the heart of the main characters of the books andContinue reading “A Read You Won’t Forget”
The World’s Bible
You no doubt have pondered those familiar lines, “We are the only Bible the careless world will read. We are the sinner’s gospel. We are the scoffer’s creed. We are the Lord’s last message, given in deed and word. What if the type is crooked, what if the print is blurred?” Paul exhorted his protégé,Continue reading “The World’s Bible”

They Had Been With Jesus
Perhaps the greatest compliment ever paid a group of believers was the one recorded in Acts 4:13: “And they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus.” When you are in the presence of a person whom you dearly love and/or deeply respect, it affects you definitely, and sometimes even dramatically. So itContinue reading “They Had Been With Jesus”
Abandoned Baby
Recently, I read a story about a person who found a baby in an open field, a newly born infant, abandoned and helpless, still covered with birth-blood, unwashed and unclothed. This kind person stopped, took up the baby, washed it and clothed and cared for it, and over the course of years nourished, fed, andContinue reading “Abandoned Baby”
In Reverence and Godly Fear
It is not a message about soul-winning, or Christian stewardship, or prayer, or Bible study. You may be asking just now: “If the message is of primary importance; and if it is not about soul-winning, Christian stewardship, the Holy Spirit or the Word of God…what then is the message about?” Turn in your scriptures toContinue reading “In Reverence and Godly Fear”
