CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF CHRIST
(Craig Thomas)
Many years ago, I received my undergraduate degree in Animal Sciences. My specific area of interest in that broad category of science was dairy cows. As an undergraduate I took a course in dairy cattle judging. Every breed of dairy cattle has a breed association that oversees the continual development and promotion of that breed (e.g., Holstein, Jersey, Guernsey, etc.). Each breed association has what is called the "ideal cow" that possesses all the desired physical characteristics of that specific breed. Each breed even has portraits and…

If you are concerned about your character, your conduct, your life and your destiny, THEN BE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS. “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23). The heart is the mind, and the mind is the center of thoughts. “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). A man may not be what he appears to be, but he is what he thinks.
What goes into your mind, then, is extremely important. Be careful about the interests you acquire, the tastes you cultivate, the…

Everyone realizes that cultural factors DO influence our decisions about the clothes that we wear. For instance, a person living in America today would look odd wearing the kind of clothes that Jesus and the apostles wore — and vice versa. Cultural "norms' have clearly changed.

If you would like to kill the work of your local congregation, then I have the perfect plan:

- Always be critical and nit-picky.
- Never volunteer to help, but always complain about the way the volunteers are doing things.
- Even though you don’t want to volunteer, still act annoyed and put out when you don’t get an important job.
- If asked directly to give your opinion, act like you don’t have one. Later,…

“WILD GOURDS”
(By Jarrod Jacobs)
“And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets. And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not. So they poured… -
