Sight. It is one of the greatest blessings of life. To see a bride walk down the aisle. To see a child born into this world. To see a sunrise over the ocean. Those who “have it” often take it for granted. Those who do not “have it” wish that they did. In your experience, what has been the most wonderful thing you’ve…

Have you noticed what’s been happening in supermarket lines in recent years? For decades, check-out lines have been flanked by the latest issues of tabloids and popular magazines. Over the years, the cover images on many of the high-profile periodicals have grown more and more risqué, with women wearing less and less clothing. Just what every young boy standing in line with his…

It would have taken a great deal of boldness for a leper to enter in among the crowds and especially to have approached Jesus Himself. One such man came and worshiped Jesus in Matthew 8, and then he said these fascinating words, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean” (8:2).

It seems impossible to escape the political race for President that is happening, whether it be online, television, supermarket lines or just random conversations. With so much attention devoted to it, one would think that the second coming of Christ is dependent on this election. Let’s take a moment and consider what truly matters. After this election is over, after a new President…

There were not many “devo songs” when I was a teenager, so we usually sang the same ones at every devotional. One we always sang was, “Who’s that walkin’ down the road, carryin’ such a heavy load?” When you’re a kid, you sometimes don’t focus enough on the words (especially when you sing the same song repeatedly), but what a wonderful message this…

He has two legitimate birth certificates. One indicates that he was born in 1920, and the other shows 1923. Because of the records from back then, either of them could be right, so he is going with the 1923 one for now. What if you had two birth certificates? Which one would you choose to be the “right one”? Would you want the…
