John is the kind of guy that is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins! If a friend was having a bad day, John was there telling the friend how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Do you realize that without our eyes you would not be reading this now? Without our eyes you would be unable to see any of God's creation. Psalms 19:1 says: The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork. God shows Himself to us, in part, by what we see.

Can you imagine a group of 53 men and women put into one dungeon with no outside contact whatsoever, except for a narrow slit in the door that was opened twice a day as food was slid in on a tray. Think for a moment...53 men and women... getting along?.... or do you think they had several different worship groups in there? Maybe several denominations? Did they need to argue their view on a certain doctrine? How did they maintain their sanity... their faith...their love for the Lord as well as their love for one another?

The story that I am about to share with you only happened once in the history of mankind. And when it happened, it was so special and so precious that for the past 2,000 years, mankind has not been able to stop talking about it. The story that we are going to read in a minute is one that has been preached millions upon millions of times all over the world. Tens of thousands of books have been written about it and for many generations, fathers, mothers, boys and girls have passed this priceless story on to the next generation. It is the story that never grows old and will continue to be spoken of throughout all eternity.

I have to admit to you that I have changed my way of praying before writing-instead of saying, "God, what do they need to hear?", I ask, "God, what do I need to learn?"

I have three good friends who left the Amish several years ago. All are brothers. Just recently, I found out that one of them was killed in a tragic accident. I was very saddened, because I didn't know if he had received eternal life or not. That's not for me to judge, but I was even more saddened when I heard how his parents handled the situation.

Psalm 139:14 says, "I praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." This verse talks about our bodies and how perfectly they are created. It tells us how wonderfully our physical bodies are made. This idea of "fearfully" means that we have respect for what God has made. God has made something (our bodies) that show just how smart and powerful God is. The word "wonderfully" agrees that what God has created is good.

This is a subject that covers much of what God talks about in His Word as well as what the believers deal with every day in their lives. Conflicts among believers are not a new difficulty. Take a moment and think about your life. Have you ever had disagreements with family, friends, and other people in the church or community? Have you been offended or have you offended someone by what has been said or done?

Over the years, we have seen many instances of people vying over who is right or who is wrong. Now of course we all want to be right and win the argument. To prove our ‘rightness' we can quote the people of old, wise people of today and scripture to no end.

Mark chapter 16 is quite possibly one the most exciting chapters in the entire Bible; it is in the 6th verse of this chapter that we are told that...Jesus Is Risen! Do you realize that those three words, in Mark 16:6, set Christianity apart from ALL other religions in the world? Let me explain.

As we open God's Word we find two truths that help to answer this question. The first is that God is a Spirit (John 4:24). Secondly, God is always referred to in the male form. One example is found in Luke 2:49 where Jesus speaks of God as his "Father".

What if there really is a group of people out there that have a connection with God that transcends the daily grind of life and transports them into a place of intimacy? What if they believe God gives them a touch of His hand on their heart and wraps them into His arms when they feel lonely and afraid? What if ...

During a recent conversation with a person seeking to be baptized, I sensed the lack of assurance of her salvation. She was struggling with God's forgiveness and deliverance. So I asked her, do you remember the story of the one thief on the cross when he looked over and said, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom" and Jesus responded, by saying, "verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise?"

It seems hard to believe, but we are already half way through the year. For many of us, it is the busiest time of all. And when we get busy, we have a tendency to work from daylight to darkness-six days a week.

Intro: Over the years, I have had some great opportunities to sit next to men of God, who, without a doubt, have the gift of teaching God's Word. You'll know who these men are very quickly, because they are able to take God's Word and lay it out so simply that even the most difficult to understand verses seem so simple and easy to grasp. The man who wrote this article, "The Right Hand of Fellowship" for the Amish Voice, is one of those men; his name is Levi Yoder. In order to fully grasp this power and precious study, may I encourage you to read the whole chapter of Galatians 2? And then, please enjoy the message. It is God's gift to you today. -Joe Keim

In every marriage, a husband or wife does something that hurts the other. It's bound to happen because none of us is perfect. And in some cases, a spouse has a habit of doing the same thing over and over again, even after the behavior is confronted.

Following the recent earthquake in Haiti, agencies from all over the world swooped into the country and set up rescue efforts as well as feeding and tending to the health needs of those caught in the disaster. Some of these aid workers were Christian, many were not. Canada and The USA had their armed forces involved.

Jesus said, ...'Upon this rock I will build My church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it'. So why is it that the church seems to be in a state of confusion and powerlessness? It seems there is an ungodly fear of darkness, evil, wickedness, etc. creeping into our plain churches. There may be several reasons why Christian people lose their power and authority that Jesus commissioned to His people.

Has bitterness wrapped itself around you like chains, to the point where you often times feel like a prisoner, living in a dungeon, and completely unable to come free?

Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. (Psalm 150:6) Wow! I have breath, do all of you others? So maybe we should burst out in song right now! In fact the whole chapter of Psalm 150 is about praising God with everything that makes noise and everything we can do!!
