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,…

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.

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.

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.

Joe Scheidler, the founder of the Pro-Life Action League, said, “Truth is truth and it always will be true. Life begins at the moment of fertilization. That’s biologically sound. Whether you believe that or not depends a lot on your own wishes. The mind is not happy with a lie. Ninety-some percent of…

PICS OF STARS - 3 Circling above your head, constantly are things like you’ve just seen. Unbelievable sights at unfathomable distances just waiting to be grasped.

When I was in high school, I remember I was all enamored with being a great piano player and the next great musician to make it big like Barry Manilow. Ok, I know some of you just lost all respect for me, but the truth is the truth. I got it into my head that I was going to do it, and since Barry was…

You see it in many organizations. Join the Marines and the first thing they do, after the “buzz-cut” is issue a uniform.

SelHis neighbor found him lying in a pool of blood. He was 19-year old Grant Williams. The pool of blood wasn’t the most disturbing part of the picture however, for coiled around Mr. Williams was a snake . . . a 13 foot long Burmese Python to be exact.

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…

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.
