If a mistress has a large number of maids, somebody might ask them, “What kind of mistress do you have?” They might all say, “Oh, she is a most delightful person,” and so on, because they were afraid to speak the truth. But if there should be a dozen of them, eventually one would be found in the street…

The stupendous falls of Niagara have been spoken of in every part of the world. But while they are marvelous to hear of, and wonderful as a spectacle, they have been very destructive to human life when by accident any have been carried down the cataract. Some years ago, two men, a bargeman and a collier,…

A minister was one day going to preach. His attention was arrested by a woman standing at her door, who, upon seeing him, came up to him with the greatest anxiety, and said, “Oh sir, have you any keys about you? I have broken the key of my drawers, and there are some things that I must get.” He said,…

The boy is not afraid of missing his way; he trusts implicitly his father’s guidance. His father’s arm will screen him from all danger, and therefore he does not so much as give it a thought. Why should he? If care is needed as to the road, it is his father’s business to see to it, and the child, therefore,…

Many Christians resemble the nautilus, which in fine smooth weather swims on the surface of the sea in a splendid little squadron, like the mighty ships. But the moment the first breath of wind ruffles the waves, they take in their sails and sink into the depths. Many Christians are the same. In good…

You say that he is “a rewarder of those who seek him”; do you despise the reward? Are you content with having made a profession of religion? Some professing Christians remind me of the reply of the child who was asked at the Sunday school about her father, who never went to any place of worship. “Is…

Suppose there is a fire in the upper room of a house and the people gather in the street. A child is in the upper story; how is he to escape? He cannot leap down—he would be dashed to pieces. A strong man comes beneath, and cries, “Drop into my arms.” It is a part of faith to know that the man is there;…

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.

*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…

for Conversations in the Marketplace' by Pastor Brad Berglund (First Baptist Church) Feb 6, 2009 . At a recent prayer meeting, I was told of a young pianist who is working on a doctor’s degree in performance. According to his professor, the young man has abilities that leave his peers far behind. To…

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.…

One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell God that they were done with Him. The scientist walked up to God and said, “God, we’ve decided that we no longer need you. We’re to the point that…

One night a house caught fire, and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. His father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, “Jump! I'll catch you.” He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As can…

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…

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…
