Acts 4 introduces us to a well-known Bible character named Joses. Of course, few today know him by the name Joses, for the apostles changed his name to Barnabas, i.e. Son of Encouragement (Acts 4:36, 37). The first time he is mentioned he had sold land to help the poor among the saints in Jerusalem, but his encouraging spirit is also seen in his befriending of Saul (Acts 9:26, 27), his selection by the church at Jerusalem as the best man to go strengthen the young church in Antioch (Acts 11:22, 23), and in his unwillingness to give up on…

The whole world is aware of the accumulating mountains of waste and garbage threatening our planet. Air pollution, water pollution, land pollution are all becoming familiar terms. Every major city seems to be having problems with garbage disposal. We must find some way to handle the garbage, or it will finally overwhelm us.

The human body, like any well-ordered house, also has its garbage disposal equipment. Every time you expel a lung full of air you are throwing off poisonous elements that would very quickly destroy you if they were not discharged from the body. The pores of your skin open…

Lives of great men all remind us.
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us,  Footprints in the sand of…

    Criticism is defined by Webster’s as “the act of criticizing usually unfavorably.” The interesting part of that definition is the inclusion of the word “unfavorably.” The etymology of the word “criticism” goes back to a time when someone would judge the merits of literary or…
