That they may teach the young women ... In this issue’s Sisters’ Corner, we break from our usual custom of having an article by a sister, and turn to George Muller for a powerful testimony of meek service. After all,…
At noon our third storm began. At four it was more violent than before. The winds roared round about us, and whistled as distinctly as if it had been a human voice. The ship not only rocked to and fro with the utmost…
Like a fresh shower on a hot summer day, Kingdom-Focused Finances for the Family by Gary Miller spilled its cool drops of water into my heart. It is not that the teaching was radically new to me. God had personally been…
Unwanted parents long for the grave Even though I should not complain, but rather thank God, for all my worthy children, I will still try to awaken you to more carefulness, humility, virtue, honor, and obedience, so that…
Love is like a breath of heaven. 'Tis from God above. Blessed truths to us are given, when the Lord we love. Love has power that's victorious, even gives its life. Love can never be contentious; love despises strife.…
A few weeks ago I received an interesting email. Somehow, avoiding my spam filter, this email was from a sheet music company that I had ordered from years ago. The music company sent out a news report about a man named…
Introduction Reading the story of the judges and kings of Judah and Israel, one finds a history of hills and dales. Some of the leaders of Israel took God’s people on a downhill journey, low, so low that one wonders how…
Across the will of nature Leads on the path of God; Not where the flesh delighteth The feet of Jesus trod. O bliss to leave behind us The fetters of the slave, To leave ourselves behind us, The grave-clothes and the…
We will borrow from John Bunyan’s literary practice of personifying human characteristics and give names to some familiar faces. First is the act of fretting—we will call him Mr. Worry. Do you ever worry about things…
It is not enough that God know us to be chaste: we must appear so before men. Especially in these times of persecution we must accustom our bodies to the hardships which they may likely be called to suffer. Perhaps some…
Three times in the first two chapters of the book of Job, we find that Job was called a “perfect and upright man.” And two times God even comments that “there is none like him in the earth.” Job loved righteousness and…
A young converted shoemaker turned Anabaptist missionary and pastor, Peter Riedemann seemed to have lived tirelessly in sharing and living his faith. Traversing literally thousands of miles, writing songs and letters,…
For the last year or so we have not included any letters to the editor in the magazine. Thanks to all who have written, offering encouragements, corrections, questions, and plain old disagreements about what we have…
Faith untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith, and it is likely to remain dwarfish so long as it is without trials. Faith never prospers so well as when all things are against her: tempests are her…
Men need nothing in these modern days so much as they need a working philosophy of life—an adequate way to live. Loosed from the moorings that have held life, many are now adrift. They claim to be free. They have thrown…
This may seem hard to believe, but just this month the USA secured a huge, $60 billion military contract with Saudi Arabia, with a shopping list that included the following: 84 F-15 fighter jets, 72 tactical Black Hawk…
Introduction In the previous issue, we printed the tract on “have to” vs. “want to” obedience. The following tract was usually bound in the same Anabaptist books with the other one, and since the writing style is so…

You have probably seen something like it on a tract somewhere, with a title along the lines of “How to Get to Heaven.” But the picture is seriously in error, doctrinally. What is that error? The man is misusing the…
We have a lot of decisions to make in life, don’t we? Individuals have decisions to make. Families have decisions to make. Churches have decisions to make. The very word, “decision,” tells you that there is going to be…
A family friend was travelling with his motor home in another state. Night came upon him, and he stopped in a town along the way to ask a local person if they knew of a quiet, secure place close by where he might park…
The ungodly are saying that we drink something out of a bottle, and the devil himself has no idea what is in that bottle. Whoever drinks from the bottle isn’t happy [with the status quo] any more, acts differently, and…
