From the Editor

Freedom in Christ

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. (Galatians 5:1) There is much ado in our land about freedom. It has been a central and…

LITTLE DAVY GOES TO SCHOOL

Although he would not readily admit it, Little Davy enjoyed school. He loved whizzing through his lessons in no time, at all. The red brick school where Davy attended was small. There was only one classroom and one…

Resist Not

“I will not fight; I am a Christian”. We live in a world geared towards personal gain and satisfaction. Building a nice life for yourself is the American dream, and anyone who wants it can have it. Jesus says that where…

SHOULD WE Vote?

We are living in a time of moral and political upheaval. While we know God is in control, it can be discouraging. We see Congress passing laws that conflict with Biblical truth and ungodly leaders being voted into…

Christians Vote?

As we near the next election, “Christians, vote!” is oft the plea. “Elect yourselves a godly leader if you want your liberty.” Is it true, O fellow pilgrims, has Christ promised freedom here? “On earth you will be…

Screen Time

“I want your phone!” The little girl said firmly to her mother. “Not now, Josie,” her mother said. “We’re at the doctor’s office.” “I NEED your phone!” The three-year-old girl demanded. I wasn’t sure what Josie needed…

In Defense of Conscience

What is this thing called Conscience? We find it already working in Adam and Eve after they ate of the forbidden fruit. It was no doubt what revealed their nakedness and caused them to hide from God. The Bible reveals it…

A Christ-Centered Courtship

We discussed God’s Plan for Male and Female in the last issue. Today’s topic, Satan’s Snares for Male and Female, is not as enjoyable. And yet, to complete this series, “A Christ-centered Courtship,” we need to deal with…

The Constitution or the Bible

We live in an era where the drumbeats of patriotism are beating louder and louder. Prominent Christian leaders are demanding their constitutional rights. The lines between the church and the state are slowly being…

COME, LET US TUNE OUR loftiest song

Come, let us tune our loftiest song And raise to Christ our joyful strain; Worship and thanks to Him belong, Who reigns and shall forever reign. His sovereign power our bodies made; Our souls are His immortal breath; And…

Songs in the Night

I have always enjoyed Anabaptist history but only recently heard that the early reformers, like Zwingli, didn’t allow singing in their worship services. Praise God, their followers did not adhere to that idea. Singing is…

The Christian in Election Year

The title could give the impression that a Christian could be different in an election year than in off-election years. That is not the intent. Instead, in the time of national elections, Christians face extra pressure…

Lead On, O King Eternal

Once again we will be taking a look at the history behind one of our beloved hymns. These hymns of old have stood the test of time and are worth singing, and may they continue to be sung till time is no more! Out of the…

From the Editor

I can still smell the tantalizing cacophony of odors as I clutched my father’s strong hand, weaving our way through the masses of tourists that crowded the building. The vendors at the Green Dragon Farmer’s Market in…

The Christian Humanist

Do you believe in miracles? Do you believe in the supernatural? What about divine intervention? Or a better question might be, have you seen God working in your life? Do others see God working in your life? My brother…

ALL NATURE SINGS

Our Father’s world is a world unspoiled by human invention and intervention. While sin and technology have warped and stolen many lovely things from the human race, there abide still a few that remain unmarred by…

Arise be glad

Arise be glad! For dawn is here! Rejoice and sing! The night is past, The Dayspring shineth from on high, The grace of God to man is nigh! Rejoice and praise the King of Kings! Give thanks and laud, for more is here!…

Jamin Smartens Up

Eight-year-old Jamin wasn’t very smart. Or at least that’s what his older brother told him. Almost daily, brother Kenny found ways to remind Jamin of his shortcomings and laugh at his blunders. “Jamin, you will never be…

Dealing with Cynicism

“Dr. Waldron, Elsie needs help!” Elsie’s husband was adamant, almost angry, as he stared at me. On the other hand, Elsie stared at the floor, almost as though she wasn’t present. I had never met either of the couple…

Procrastination Overload

The urgency of the last minute is something that many homemakers deal with regularly. No matter how organized we are, sometimes we put off tasks because we dislike them or wait until we are under pressure. Habitual…

Circumstantial Overload

Circumstantial overload might be the most difficult. We can choose not to go to a Norwex party if we need to give our schedule some space. But if a child breaks a leg in the middle of wedding preparations, we have no…

Amazing Grace

How unbelievable it is that God can take a wretched sinner, void of the fear of the Lord, and turn him into a blood-washed saint and preacher of the gospel! In this story, we see God’s life-changing power at work in our…
