Every time an Israelite thought of the bones of Joseph, he thought, “We are to go out of this country one day.” Perhaps he was a man prospering in business, laying up store in Egypt, but he would say to himself, “I shall have to part with this; Joseph’s bones are to be carried up; I am not to be here…

Two men are going along a road, and they have a dog behind them. I do not know to whom that dog belongs, but I’ll tell you directly. They are coming to a crossroads. One goes to the right, the other goes to the left. Now, which man does the dog follow? That is his master. Now, when Christ and the world…

The man who waits until he shall find it easier to bear the yoke of obedience is like the woodman who found his bundle of wood too heavy for his idle shoulder. Placing it upon the ground, he gathered more wood and added to the bundle, then tried it. But finding it still an unpleasant load, he repeated…

In the clear atmosphere of Menton, France, I have sometimes stood on quite a lofty mountain and seen a friend down in the valley. I have spoken his name, and at first it was greatly to my astonishment when he replied, “Where are you?” I held a conversation with him readily. I could not have actually…

We have sometimes heard of a brother who has become great and rich in the world. He has some poor brother or some distant relative, and when he sees him in the street he is obliged to speak to him and own him. I dare say he wished him a long way off, especially if some rich acquaintance happened to be…

All things here pass away. I cannot tell you the strange joy I felt after the earthquake at Menton, France. I had been to see many of the houses that had been shaken down, and the two churches that were greatly injured, and I was full of the earthquake. I had quite realized its terrors and its power,…

God the Architect Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Psalm 127:1a Recommend Reading Psalm 127 Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the twentieth century's most well-known architects, practiced "organic architecture" - designs that flow out of and reflect the context of their environment.…

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…

DREAMS The creator of Veggie Tales, Phil Vischer, recently told a crowd of Christian journalists the Lord used bankruptcy to humble him to pursue God rather than a dream. At the Evangelical Press Association’s opening banquet, Vischer explained that he found himself facing a God he had never heard about…

GOALS A Ninety-five-year old man recently discovered that despite living in the United States nearly all of his life, and serving in the U.S. Navy, he is not considered a citizen. Leeland Davidson was born in British Columbia in 1916, and though his parents were U.S. citizens, they did not register his…

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!…

*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…

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…

City Lights The city looks beautiful from a distance. Have you ever seen the San Francisco skyline as the sun descends in the west? Or the Tandy buildings lit up at Christmas time in Fort Worth? The view of Albuquerque is exquisite from the West Mesa looking down into the Valley. The hot air balloons…

Changing Culture- Tim Keller Some seem to have risen to the challenge of effective ministry in a changing culture. Who can we learn from? I am actually a bit reluctant to lift anyone up high as a shining example—including Redeemer Presbyterian. Let me put it like this: John Stott at All Souls Church…
