    GOSSIPTOWN

    GOSSIPTOWN
    (By Bobby L. Graham)

    Everybody's been to Gossiptown at least once in life.   Most people spend much time there, because they enjoy the amusements of the place or the company they meet there.   Frequently they meet people much like themselves; and occasionally they become so astonished at what they are like when seeing others doing the same thing, that they wake up and decide to leave the place and never return again.

    Gossip and all sorts of activities associated with it occupy the time of the people who live there or visit there.  …

    A Tragic Relationship

    I first met her in high school. She was older than I and exciting. She’d

    “been around.” My parents warned me to have nothing to do with her, but

    I kept meeting her on the sly. She was so sophisticated and worldly. It

    made me feel grown up just being with her. It was fun to take her to a party

    in those days.

    We began seeing more of each other, after I started college. When I got a

    Crossing the line

    “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

    Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in

    heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my

    burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 ESV)

    I am increasingly aware of the limits that my body can sustain. Whether it

    is losing control of weights in a public forum, or painfully working through

    Hold To God's Unchanging Hand

    We know that if the earthly tent, which is our house, is torn down, we have

    a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

    For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling

    from heaven, inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked.

    For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we

    do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed,…

    Foolish Choices

    Have you ever done something that your God-given conscience told you

    that you shouldn’t, but you did it anyway, only to bitterly regret it later?

    The following old story illustrates how foolish that is. One cold morning a

    man was walking in the woods and spied a snake. Because of the weather

    the snake was stiff and motionless. The man picked it up and put it in the

    bib of his overalls. Before he got home the snake warmed up and

    Hope Through Prophecy

    There are numerous prophecies throughout the Old Testament. While

    many of these speak of doom and gloom for the nations in the area

    surrounding Israel, such as what the book of Obadiah says about the

    Edomites and what the book of Jonah says about the Ninevites, 700 of the

    prophecies in the Old Testament speak about the details of the life of Jesus,

    from His birth to His ministry, and even describing His death.

    One of the most…
