I have told you before of a strange picture that I saw at Brussels, in which the artist has represented the resurrection in a very remarkable fashion, showing the people as partly alive. There is one man with his head restored to life, but his arms remain as skeletons. There is another alive down to…

I have often felt, when I have been rambling in the Alps, that nature was too small to set forth God. The mirror is not large enough to reflect the face of the Eternal. You stand in the Alps and hear the avalanche like claps and peals of thunder resounding in the air. You gaze afar off and there it is,…

One day, many years back, a thick darkness came over the United States. Now and then in London we have dreadfully dark days for which we can scarcely account, but this was quite a new experience for the New Englanders, and caused a terrible sensation. So exceedingly black was it that the barn door fowls…

All that is of nature’s spinning must be unraveled. The natural building must come down, lath and plaster, roof and foundation, and we must have a house not made with hands. It was a great mercy for our city of London that the great fire cleared away all the old buildings that were the lair of the plague;…

When I was seeking the Lord, I not only believed that I could not pray without divine help, but I felt in my very soul that I could not. Then I could not even feel aright, or mourn as I would, or groan as I would. I longed to long more after Christ. Alas! I could not even feel that I needed Him as I…

John Bunyan speaks of the law as coming to sweep a chamber like a maid with a broom. When she began to sweep there was a great dust that almost choked people and got into their eyes. But then came the gospel with its drops of water and laid the dust, and then the broom might be used far better. Now it…

Of all the people whom I have ever met with who have told me that they were perfect, I can say that I was morally certain they were not. They had only to talk for about five minutes and they proved their own imperfection. But we shall be perfect one day. “The one who began a good work in you will finish…

The Golden Globe Awards, pandemic style in 2021 had the nominees at home watching the show and being filmed simultaneously. The twitterverse went crazy when it appeared that Al Pacino was sleeping (or looking down so it appeared that his eyes were closed) during his category-- Best Actor in a Television…

In Leaders Eat Last, Simon Sinek writes, “We would prefer that that air traffic controller check his e-mail or send his text messages during his breaks. I think we would all feel much better if access to the Internet and a personal cell phone were completely forbidden when an air traffic controller is…

You’ve heard of DUI and DWI, but have you ever heard of DWD? That’s “driving while distracted” and it often happens because of these . . . Cell Phones. Distraction from cell phone use while driving (hand held or hands free) extends a driver's reaction as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at…

You heard about the alcoholic didn’t you? (By the way, when I was coming up, we called them drunks.) You heard about the drunk didn’t you? He’s married and he comes home late and sneaks upstairs being as quiet as he can be. He sneaks into the bathroom and looks at his face. His hair’s messed up and he’s…

Light flickered from the lone candle sitting, wax-dripped, in the center of the rough-hewn table. It’s light glimmered streaks of yellow and gold off of the worn-out faces that sat silently worshiping quietly as one of them led a hymn. These were the outcasts; the green-card carriers of Bithynia. Driven…

The same old guy gets pulled over for DUI. When he gets to court the arresting officer testifies that the defendant, when asked to produce his car registration, had fumbled around endlessly in the glove compartment. Well, he’d hired a good lawyer, and the lawyer, wanting to earn his money (go figure)…

Recognize this? That’s right, it’s a fire ant. These little buggers are potent! They can light you up. In fact, 12 Americans die of fire ant attacks each year. That’s because before they start to sting you there may be hundreds of them on you before you even know it. So much venom can cause an allergic…

A student once asked Albert Einstein, "Dr. Einstein, how many feet are there in a mile?" The student was amazed when Einstein replied, "I don't know.” Sure that he was only joking, the student pressed him for an answer. Surely Einstein would know a simple fact that every schoolchild is required to memorize.…

Do you see what I see? Purpose: To walk circumspectly, being aware of the traps that seek to draw us from God's goal in our lives. 2 Kings 6:17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” And the Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was…

(AP) DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. - On a chilly Easter night, two days after his son and four of his fellow soldiers were killed in Iraq, David Pautsch watched their remains arrive on a jumbo jet during a somber, half-hour ceremony. "You see these five caskets, flag-draped, it's sobering beyond belief,"…

"My desires seem especially to be after weaned from the world, perfect deadness to it, and that I may be crucified to all its allurements. My soul desires to feel itself more of a pilgrim and a stranger here below, that nothing may divert me from pressing through the lonely desert, till I arrive at my…

Survivor of accident recounts fateful day “I was going to ask him why he pushed me.” The push was a quick, forceful blow, Chris Grays recalled. Strong enough to make Grays, 24, stumble backward. It was like those typical, initial shoves to the chest men give just before they clench the fists and swing…

A woman was going away to pick up some friends and return with them for her children to go out to dinner. She had left her children at home with the instructions that they were to be clean and dressed by the time she returned. She said to the children upon leaving, "Now here is plenty of soap and water…
