Is there a place where one crosses the line related to life issues? Life belongs to God, not to us.

Due to health problems and the economy affecting our business, we’re not in a position to give as much in freewill offerings, above and beyond our tithe. Should we still give the same amount and just trust God to provide?

My husband and I have been studying Samuel and have the following question re: 1 Samuel 28:11-20 We’ve been taught that there are no such thing as ghosts and wandering spirits and that absent from the body means present with the Lord. Why then was this not true with Samuel? This seems to go against that principle.

Randy collected many of his stories from Voice of the Martyrs and The Bible League newsletters. If you don’t subscribe to them, he would recommend you do so.

Truth without grace is unbending, like the law of gravity. Gravity doesn’t take into consideration the fact that the individual in the car is young, kind, tired or didn’t mean to get too close to the edge of the cliff.

As a man, husband, and more recently a father—I have struggled and struggled with sexual temptation. At my breaking point-being “tired” of the ongoing struggle and to seek support—I submitted a prayer request at a recent church leadership retreat, asking the intercessors to pray “That I would always and forever remain faithful to my wife and, never, ever commit adultery.”

I grew up with one half brother, but had four older siblings from my dad’s previous marriage.

Books more than anything.

The first two and last two chapters of the Bible are perfectly symmetrical bookends, revealing and culminating God’s eternal plan for mankind and for the earth.

Person after person stood to read, with periods of rest between, allowing all to contemplate the message and experience the communion elicited in the writing. 

Diane’s conversion took my breath away. Only Elyon’s Spirit can pierce the hard shell of their hearts. When she accepted His gift and asked His forgiveness, Elshar and I embraced.

A close friend of mine, Greg, died when I was in high school. I was a brand new Christian and it affected me profoundly. Then after I’d been a pastor five years, my mother died in 1981.

Usually I like best the kind of book I’m currently working on.

It was a joy.
