A wounded healer
One of my favorite parables of Jesus was the one about the good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). Why do you suppose it was it this individual and not the priest or Levite who stopped to help the stricken man? One suggestion is that the Samaritan knew exactly...
“Give Me Liberty or …”
“Give me liberty, or give me death.” Today these words resound with great meaning for us as Americans. We have just celebrated our liberty as a nation. But, for all the fireworks and pageantry, we must wonder how many of us comprehend what...
Don’t waste your sorrows
Suppose you notice an advertisement in the newspaper offering a wonderful opportunity to make a lot of money. The starting salary is one-half million dollars per year. You fit all of the qualifications for the job! Then, in the last paragraph in the advertisement,...
God’s Plan for Your Life
The United States women’s softball team won the gold medal in Atlanta’s 1996 Olympic Games. They lost only one game. In the fifth inning against Australia, Danielle Tyler hit a home run over the centerfield fence. When she was greeted by a...

“With what shall I come to the Lord and bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, with yearling calves? Does the Lord take delight in thousands of rams, in ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my...
Freedom from the performance trap
“Are ye so foolish, having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect in the flesh.” (Galations 3:3). Now, perfect is a beautiful word, but perfectionism is an ugly word. What is perfectionism? Well, perfectionism is that disease of judging...
How to show love and respect for others
The Bible says we are to love one another. Sounds good, but can it be done? Whoever said, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand,” was about right. People are just irritating. I agree with the guy who said, “To live above...
Live by faith!
Gullible. It never ceases to amaze me just how gullible people are. When P. T. Barnum said, “There’s a sucker born every minute,” he was right. It seems that there is no limit to what we will believe. Just look at the titles that appear...
