• Quiet Time with the Father

    Quiet Time with the Father

    In a world overflowing with information, we are constantly surrounded by voices
    offering advice, encouragement, and direction. Friends lend an ear, family share
    their experiences, books reveal human insight, and the internet offers endless
    opinions on every imaginable topic. While many of these sources can be helpful
    and even wise, they are still ultimately human and limited. They may speak from
    love, knowledge, or good intentions, but they don’t have the eternal perspective,
    or the flawless wisdom and love of God. For those who truly seek clarity and
    purpose, there is no substitute for turning to…

    If Only


    If only I made just a little bit more.
    If only it cost just a little bit less.
    If only I had just a little more time.
    If only my house wasn’t quite such a mess.
    I’d share with the needy. I know I’d give more!
    I’d open my home with more zeal than before.
    “If only. If only! If only…” I say.
    “If only my life had worked out in that way.”
    If only I knew those I see every day.
    If only my friendships had come with rapport.
    If only I knew all the…

  • Sheep that are More than Conquerors

    SHEEP THAT ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS
    (Constant Coulibaly)

     

    Years ago, when I was at the school of Journalism, we learned a writing technique that consists of grabbing the reader's attention when crafting an article. This practice is common to various areas in the field of mass communication (advertising, marketing, public relations, broadcasting, etc.).

    Over the years that I have been a student of the Bible, I have learned that God employs similar techniques when speaking to His people. One way He does this is through the use of contrasts. Here is an…

  • The Blind Hymn Writer

    The Blind Hymn Writer
    Most who read this will probably recognize these hymns:
    Blessed Assurance : To God Be the Glory
    He Hideth My Soul : I Am Thine, O Lord
    Jesus Is Tenderly Calling : All the Way My Savior Leads Me
    Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour : Praise Him! Praise Him!
    Rescue the Perishing : Safe in the Arms of Jesus
    Savior, More Than Life to Me : Tell Me the Story of Jesus
    All of these, plus over 8000 more, were written by one woman, Fanny J. Crosby!
    It is even thought that she employed nearly…

  • Somebody

    Somebody

    When you’re nobody the air feels different. You move between characters in
    motion, occupying the roles of our lives. You speak to them as to a wall that
    echoes. But really, in life’s brevity, is your presence too momentary for people to
    REALLY know you? Your practical priorities may not line up. Your visual style
    could offend. The message you’re sounding is not one that is HEARD. As
    christians, what etchings do we trace into our mortal design? Creation’s first
    intent manifested the Most Holy will of One.
    Scripture recalls God taking presence with man, “And they heard the sound…

  • Who is #1?

    Who is #1?

    What do we treasure most in life? Is it a person, our money, or our possessions?
    Who holds the number one position in our hearts? Is it really God?
    This country is so amazingly rich and filled with comfortable distractions. Our
    lives are easy in comparison to many places around the world. We can get in a
    car and drive wherever we want, eat what we want when we want. Do whatever
    we want to do for the most part. Then again, we don’t have to go anywhere, we
    can have everything delivered to our front door! Either…

  • Why Rome Fell

    Why Rome Fell

    In The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon
    observed that there were five basic reasons why that civilization withered and
    died. Here are the flaws that Gibbon listed:
    1. An undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home.
    2. A mad craze for pleasure, with pastimes becoming every year more
    exciting, brutal, and immoral.
    3. Decay of religion – faith fading into mere form.
    4. Higher and higher taxes with public money being spent for free bread and
    circuses for the populace.
    5. Building great armaments, although the real enemy was…

  • What Should be our Appeal?

    WHAT SHOULD BE OUR APPEAL? 
    (By Jefferson David Tant)

     

    Some four or five students from our local high school have been having some Bible studies with me. Some have come for weeks, but one had come only once. I asked her if she would be interested in studying some more. She replied that she preferred to go where they appealed more to young people. She was very respectful, but mentioned that some churches seek to relate to the younger generation. Another has come…
