Sometimes I’ve seen her … Maybe at the mall Pushing one of those carts That always slants the wrong way, Going crookedly, Bent — Like her own life. Her face washed out, Pale and pinched, Hungry, but not for food, Bearing…

Constant in Prayer

The value of prayer can hardly be estimated. Unless you are willing to take up a life of prayer and keep it until the close, you had just as well not take up the Christian profession. Without prayer you will die. Someone…

Mennonite Nazis:

Pulling into the local pretzel shop here in Lancaster County, the scene was pretty predictable. Buggies, horse ties, and old bicycles outside. Inside the old building, a plainly dressed, Old-Order Mennonite lady took my…

Tschoop

Jesus

This man is a man of contrasts! To Judah, He is a lion, Yet He is the Lamb of God. He is a Lamb, Yet He is also the Good Shepherd. He paid tribute, Yet He is a King. He is King of kings, Yet He came to serve and to die.…

Keep God Before Your Eyes
