The Irony Of Sin
King Ahab called Elijah the prophet the “troubler of Israel” (1 Kings 18:17). Of course, the prophet wasted no time in pointing out that it was Ahab, not Elijah, who was the real trouble in Israel because he had abandoned the commandments of the LORD (1 Kings 18:18). A few years later, Ahab’s daughter will …
Times Change
Most of the time, change is good. We all want to grow, get stronger, learn more, see more places, etc. Certainly we are aware of the fact that our methods and tactics must change and adapt when we become ineffective. We must take advantage of opportunities as they are presented. On and on we could …

There is such a thing as “right” and there is such a thing as “wrong.” This does not change based upon feelings or preferences. A number of years ago, my grandfather, the late Thomas B. …
Proper Fear
It seems as though the world is talking about the Ebola virus right now. Many are in a panic. Many are terrified. Proper fear can be a good thing. Recognizing something to be a threat is good. Formulating a plan to stay safe is good. Putting the safety plan into action is good. However, we …
Satisfied
Most of us are desperately longing for satisfaction, but do not know how to obtain it (such has always been the case, not just since 1965). It is common to hear athletes claim that they will not be satisfied until they are champions. Therefore, they work with dogged determination and tenacity to improve their bodies …
God Knows
“Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, you are of more value than many sparrows” (Luke 12:7). What a thrill to consider how wonderful and powerful the God of heaven really is! It is so humbling to think about the endless number of things that He can easily do that …
