When You Feel Like Giving Up

Glancing up at the sun, Beto (a made-up name) quickened his already hurried pace as he approached the forest. He knew that he would need to hurry if he wanted to make it through the forest before dark. Large wildcats…

Abide With Me, Fast Falls The Eventide

This hymn is generally considered to be one of the greatest hymns ever written and is found in nearly every hymnal or book of hymns published today. It was written by a man who was frail in body, but strong in spirit. It…

Understanding Submission

In the last couple of years, something that God has been working on in my heart is the area of submission. I don’t want to look back in a wrong way, but I see where I have failed my husband in the role that God has given…

Cancer… What Is It?

“Why don’t we have a cure for cancer yet?” My patient asked me. I shrugged. “There are lots of different kinds of cancer,” I said. “For some, there are cures, while for others we are still learning how best to treat…

The Haven of Rest

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou…

From the Editor

Greetings in the worthy name of the Lord Jesus Christ. As I gaze out across the barren January landscape, I can’t help but wonder what this new year will bring. Undoubtedly, it will bring a mixture of joy and sorrow,…

A Quiet and Peaceable Life?

When I was converted, I had never heard the term Anabaptist. I had never heard much about witnessing to others. I remember thinking about all my friends who didn’t know anything about what had just happened to me. My…

When God Says No

Just reading the title probably brings negative thoughts to your mind. We as humans don’t typically like to be told “no” because it goes against our nature. Sometimes we bring the “no” upon ourselves because of…

THE BICYCLE RACE

It was one of those Sunday afternoons in late spring when the sun was finally shining warmly. It was the time of year when little boys seem to have plenty of extra energy. Little Davy was sitting on the road bank with…

The Pathway of Life

Life is like a winding pathway For the multitude of souls, Who are briskly walking onward, Heedless of their final goal. Life is mostly what we make it, Straight or crooked, one of twain; We’ll receive just what we…

Pathway to a Fulfilled Heart

Can I have a fulfilled heart if there is a vision, a hope, and or a dream in my life that lies barren and unrealized? Must I go through life carrying a cross of pain and loneliness while God answers the prayers of my…

Nothing Shall Offend Them

I doubt that there is a soul alive that has not been offended at one time or another. The persistent weeds of evil influence seem to sprout at every corner, testing the best of blooming relationships. The more…

Burnout

The message was brief. “Dr. Waldron, would you call Mrs. Jones back about her labs?” I was puzzled. I didn’t remember ordering any labs for Mrs. Jones. As far as I could remember, she was seeing a specialist and just had…

Does God Answer Prayer?

Prayer lays hold of God's plan and becomes the link between His will and its accomplishment on earth. Amazing things happen, and we are given the privilege of being the channels of the Holy Spirit's prayer. —Elisabeth…

God’s Faithfulness Manifest Even in the Curse

It was the proverbial “perfect world” that Adam and Eve enjoyed daily with their Creator. The beautiful garden, designed, created, and hand-planted by God Himself, was perfect in every way. We all know that it didn’t…

Nero: Life of an Emperor

Being a ruler over a group of people is marked with stress, hard decisions, and sleepless nights—certainly not a position for the mentally weak or immature. The position is difficult, be it sheriff, mayor, governor, or…
