Ed. note: This is a reprint of a post that originally appeared in You and God in March 2022. Like yours, my heart is breaking over the travesty and tragic turn of events that the wonderful people of Ukraine are now suffering through. It is unspeakable and, as millions of God’s people worldwide, we areContinue reading “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”

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”
Giving and Receiving Extravagantly
What I am going to say now could change your life; it could totally revitalize your life and the lives of those around you. I am not trying to sell you anything, nor would I ask you to sign on the line! But I am here as God’s spokesman with a message from His WordContinue reading “Giving and Receiving Extravagantly”
How Then?
There are a few times when the question “How then?” occurs in the Bible. In Job 25:4, for example, one of Job’s three “miserable comforters,” Bildad, reasons: “How then can a man be justified with God?” And in Gen. 39:9, after Joseph is tempted by Potiphar’s wife and remembers how his master has trusted himContinue reading “How Then?”
Do You Remember?
Well, last weekend (August 22 and 23) marked an historic event in America: The first weekend ever that an NTT IndyCar Series race was held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., with the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol and other important sites as backdrops. The carefully designed route was set up with safeguardsContinue reading “Do You Remember?”
Spiritual Disciplines
Paul wrote to his son in the faith, Timothy, that he should give attention to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine. (I Tim. 4:13) Clearly, there are things that we ought to be doing very regularly, even beyond our daily praying. Some years ago, I made a list of what I called spiritual disciplines—things thatContinue reading “Spiritual Disciplines”
Nightmares, Prayers, and Grace
As most of you know and will readily agree, prayer is a wonderful privilege: We enter into God’s presence with our praises and petitions, knowing that He remembers our frame and that we are dust, and that we are His beloved children, and that His loving kindness and marvelous grace are abundant and sufficient. ButContinue reading “Nightmares, Prayers, and Grace”
A Good Report
Ever notice how bad news travels fast while good news barely makes the rounds? Case in point: when George H.W. Bush was president, he once collapsed at a state dinner in Japan. The news traveled instantly, of course, and one major network was poised to go on the air with the bogus report (which wasContinue reading “A Good Report”
