I have heard of a church clergyman who was once waited upon by his churchwarden, after a long time of drought, and was requested to pray for rain. “Well,” said he “I will offer it, but it’s not a bit of use while the wind’s in the east, I’m sure.” There are many who have that kind of faith: they believe…

The Israelites in Egypt had no doubt caught very much the spirit of the Egyptians, and the spirit of the Egyptians was the exact opposite of the spirit of a true-born Englishman. We rejoice that we are free. We are in the habit of discussing laws and criticizing statutes, and if there were an unjust…

November 25, 2002 Bonnie entered our lives like a whirlwind. Gary, a friend of Ryan, my oldest son, moved in with us in the winter of 1997. A Brit by birth he spoke with an English accent and a sparkle in his eyes. But that sparkle glistened when he spoke of Bonnie. Finally, we met her. What a smile!…

An optometrist in British Columbia has invented a surgically implantable bionic lens that could give patients perfect vision and make glasses, contact lenses, and laser surgery obsolete. Replacing your eye lens with this lens would take about eight minutes and your eyesight would not only improve at…

*ILLUSTRATION: In the 1940s, Samuel Beckett wrote a play called Waiting for Godot, which is now regarded as a classic. Two men stand on an empty stage, hands in their pockets, staring at each other. All they do is stand and stare. There is no action, no plot, they just stand there waiting for Godot to…

Misplaced Faith In April 1988 the evening news reported on a photographer who was a skydiver. He had jumped from a plane along with numerous other skydivers and filmed the group as they fell and opened their parachutes. On the film shown on the telecast, as the final skydiver opened his chute, the picture…

“I have found that there are three stages in every great work of God: first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done. God’s work is not man working for God; it is God’s own work, though often wrought through man’s hands.” Source: Baptist Vision, January 2009.

"I would recommend you either believe God up to the hilt, or elso not to believe at all. Believe this book of God, every letter of it, or else reject it. There is no logical standing place between the two. Be satisfied with nothing less than a faith that swims in the deeps of divine revelation; a faith…

Hunter could pay "deerly" Randolph Scott Stidham was so proud. of shooting an enormous deer he drove it around Jackson, Ky., in the back of his pickup to show it off to friends. But he had actually bagged .one of 1,300 protected elk that wildlife officials have restored to the state's Appalachian moun­tains.…

Faith in antagonism to common sense is fanaticism, and common sense in antagonism to faith is rationalism. The life of faith brings the two into a right relation. . . Faith is the whole man rightly related to God by the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Chambers, O. (1993, c1935). My utmost for his…

| In my experience, signs follow decisions. The way you overcome spiritual inertia and produce spiritual momentum is by making tough decisions. And the tougher the decision, the more potential momentum it will produce. The primary reason most of us don't see God moving is simply because we aren't moving.…

FAITH Norman Geisler said, "God doesn't ask us to take a blind leap of faith into the darkness - He asks us to take a step of faith into the Light."

His was a rags to riches story. One day he was a slave, the next day he was a Prince. As an infant, he was placed in the Kings care and everything he ever thought about wanting was his. But there was a calling on his life. From the day he became aware of anything, his mother taught him that he was not…

The effectiveness of the Bible in your life lies in how much of it you obey. The US Department of the Interior once conducted an experiment using migratory birds. The birds were tagged with metal strips reading "Wash. Biol. Surv."—for Washington Biological Survey. The code was changed, so the story goes,…

What if you lived each day with faith in Christ? During periods of great change, answers do not last very long but a question is worth a lot. The word question is derived from the Latin quaerere (to seek), which is the same root as the word quest. Jon Collins of Stanford's Graduate School of Business…
