A Heart Like Paul’s
“Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.” (1 Cor. 11:1) And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am—except for these chains.” (Acts 26:29) What character traits made Paul special and worthy of imitation?

To Be Noble & Just
Do you know how many thoughts you think in a day? One scientific study conducted last year determined that the average human thinks about 6,200 separate thoughts each day! That is like 2,263,000 thoughts a year! That is a lot of thinking! But…sadly…those same scientists also determined that about 80% of those thoughts are negative. …
In Awe of the Maker of Stars
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? (Psalms 8:3-4) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his …
Danger of Drowsiness
Being sleepy at the wrong time and in the wrong place can be very dangerous. Drowsy driving can slow down thinking and reaction times—affecting our judgment and vision.

Help in Time of Sadness
Numerous are the occasions that may cause us to feel the emotion of sadness. Seeing someone we love make sinful choices will break our hearts.

Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

Dropping Out
I believe I can say with confidence that the biggest story in the world this minute is the announcement made by Joe Biden that he is dropping out of the upcoming race for President of the United States. It is huge news indeed and sends shockwaves throughout our country. But I am not concerned here …
A Hero
The events that took place Saturday at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania have the entire world talking. Some of the discussion centers around the apparent lack of security and ease with which the shooter got into position to attempt his evil deed. Nevertheless, one thing that jumped out to me (and millions of others who …
Conduct Worthy of the Calling
The fabled “Pony Express” was short lived. It lasted only about a year and a half (April 1860—October 1861). The transcontinental telegraph put an end to the need for the horses and their riders. However, in the brief time it existed, the service made a lasting impact on American history. Before the creation of the …
Make A Difference
At this time of year, lots of speeches have been / will be given encouraging young people to follow their dreams and to leave their mark on the world. This is good advice…assuming those dreams include pleasing the Lord (Ps. 37:4; 2 Cor. 5:9), and those marks are the marks of Jesus (Gal. 6:17). Otherwise, …
