That they may teach the young women ... Lord, speak to me, that I may speak In living echoes of Thy tone … The day is long. Often weary and worn, we would faint beneath the responsibilities placed in our field of…
In the nearly eight years since we moved here, we have had several visitors who believe and teach something called “flat Bible” theology. “Flat Bible” thought is easy enough to recognize, but it has many variations.…
Introduction Many churches today are facing the pressure of dealing with the world’s music trying to get into the church. Some of it is coming in the back door, but some of it is also being introduced in the front door…
“It helps, now and then, to step back and take a long view. The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that…
I find it incredibly difficult to put thirty-plus years into a few minutes of expression, in great feebleness. I want to read Isaiah 57:1. The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are…
“It is not the critic that counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, nor where the doer of deeds could have been done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena— whose face…

May my life from idols be, From chains of sin set free, Though others all around me bow, To idols and things fall down, Dear Lord, please cleanse my heart from these, And may I Thee forever please. My life is Yours and…

Looking down onto the floor of the Brooklyn Synagogue, our tour guide, Rabbi Beryl, explained the scene before us. He pointed out the men tightly and methodically wrapping their phylacteries around their arms, the…
Imagine the proverbial man who lives in a room of mirrors. No matter which way he turns, everything points back to himself. And it’s a view he’s very content with—because he’s delighted to be the center of his universe.…
“What are you doing here?” was the question that God asked Elijah, the time that he ran, scared silly by the threats of a woman. Discouraged and tired from running, he was hiding in a cave, wishing to die. He had…
Have you ever asked yourself, “How much can I accomplish for the Kingdom of God?” Like good servants and soldiers, we sincerely desire to do all that we can for our kingdom’s cause. However, all of us know that some…
