Slave or Free?
After the end of the civil war, all the slaves in the United States were set free by the thirteenth amendment. The ability to read was not as widespread as it is now and slaves in particular weren't able to pick up a newspaper and see that indeed they were no longer slaves. The news was spread mostl Read More...

Gifts and Rewards
When I was a youngster, one of the Christmas gifts I remember most is when Dad gave me a BB gun for Christmas. You may say that was a risky thing to give a fourteen-year-old. Yes, there are gifts that carry risk because of the potential to do harm. What do you suppose would have happened if I had ch Read More...

Hay-Ropes, Ice, and Faith
When I was young and growing up, we had one of those large old barns, with four haymows. When we put loose hay in the back mows, we children often had the job of pulling back the carriage to the center for the next load. My older cousins who happened to be helping with hay showed us that you could Read More...

To Forgive And Forget
Every one says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive.-C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, 1952 When the Nickel Mines schoolhouse shooting occurred last year, there was a lot of talk about the quickness of the Lancaster Amish to forgive.

It Is Written
When we make a major purchase or wish to have something understood properly, we put the words in writing. The spoken word has weight also, but time has a way of causing us to forget exactly what was said. When God created heaven and earth, he simply spoke all things into existence. Genesis 1:3 Read More...

Still The Manna Fell
One of the more familiar stories from the Old Testament is about the time when the children of Israel needed food and God gave them manna. Exodus 16:35 And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the b Read More...

What Is A Believer?
In the book of Acts 16:31 it tells us of a sermon by Paul and Silas to the jailer; And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. It seemed too easy to preach such a short sermon and have such a large impact on the life of their jailer. Surely many of Read More...

The Day The Church's Borders Fell
One of the most fascinating stories I cherish begins in Acts 10. The apostle Peter was in Joppa visiting and ministering in the churches. Joppa is today a part of Tel Aviv, the capitol of Israel. Jerusalem lies southeast about forty miles and Caesarea is about thirty-five miles north from Joppa. Tra Read More...

A New Beginning
People of every kindred and nationality need to have hope set before them at all times, or else they can become despondent.

Jesus said, in John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Jesus' love for his disciples was unconditional. God's love for us is unconditional.Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Read More...
The Bottom Line
A while ago, I had a phone call from a reader who asked the question "Are you trying to bring us around to your way of thinking?" I replied, "My aim is to encourage people to find their footing in the Bible." Never is it my aim to get people to agree with me. My opinion is of no value next to God's Read More...

Some Thoughts On Faith And Trust
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible" Heb. 11:3Too often we hear the expression "We must go out in blind faith." Is faith really blind? Is faith limited to those who are physically blind? Do Read More...

A Brief Look At Peter's Life
Few people in the Bible have caught the attention of many of us, as does the apostle Peter. There were twelve apostles, yet none dominate the New Testament as much as Peter. Matthew chapter four tells us of Peter and Andrew's call from Jesus as they were fishing. They were all simple people who made Read More...

Is Being Tempted Sin?
One dictionary says temptation is "Pressure applied to your thinking designed to create wrong emotions which will eventually lead to wrong actions."Back in the late sixties I thought it would be cool to smoke. I was old enough to know that many smokers got hooked and could not free themselves. Never Read More...
