Judge by heart, not by appearance
While sitting in the waiting room the other day at the hospital, I noticed a mural on the back wall that depicted different sites of Savannah. Right in the middle, towards the bottom of one of the scenes, was a shadow of three people shopping.
Practice patience and kindness
In his well-known chapter on love, Paul lists positive and negative character traits of love. Today, I want to compare and contrast four of those.
Victory is attainable through following Christ
Christ was provided by God to die for the sins of mankind (John 3:16). Man must see that it is in Christ that victory is to be found.
Showing trust will yield faithfulness
David, the writer of Psalms, speaks through his humanity and shows his frustration when, in chapter 22, he asks God why he has forsaken him.
Imagination is a gift from God
I recently watched an interesting show on television entitled, "101 Gadgets that Changed the World." Included in the list were such essentials as duct tape, hair dryers and cassette tapes. It was so fascinating to see that many of the gadgets that changed the world now are obsolete.
In order to understand God, you have to try
Many times today, we hear of people who have given up on God. They feel that because things have not worked out the way they planned, and that serving God is not worth the effort.
There’s value in a moment of silence
On Sept. 11, much of our nation observed a moment of silence to remember the victims of the terrorist attacks 11 years earlier and their families.
Pastors need prayer, too
The life and work of the pastor is a mystery to many. "What do you do with yourself all day?" "Do you mean that the church pays you? That's your job?" Those are just a handful of the questions I have been asked through the years. Even my own children have been in on the act. One son, as we rode to church together one Wednesday evening (we did not do that often, because I ...
The world needs to start getting closer to God
It seems our world is getting farther and farther away from God. God remains just as steadfast and stable as ever, for he has not moved. With people getting away from God, what should be man's goal for eternity - going to heaven - becomes more obscure. More and more, man is trying to bring God down to man's level rather than reaching up to the one who offers heaven to all who will obey ...
Make God’s plan your dream to pursue
The other day, my son and I were talking and, for some reason, the topic of dreams came up.
What does the Christian do about 9/11?

Determine to do the right things with God
Every person from every background has the opportunity to do what is right. As we see in the news each evening, not everyone makes use of his or her opportunities. Some determine to do wrong and forget right.
Use Jesus Christ to address the real problem
A few years ago, our church was constructed and we moved in. After the first year or so, the metal roof started leaking in a couple of spots, so we called the people who constructed it to fix it.
Believe in the Lord’s truth
It's September already. Time seems to whiz by at a rate that is dizzying these days. I remember the long wait for my 16th birthday. Then I remember how long it took for graduation to come. And then there was the wait for my wedding day. But now, I want to scream "Wait!" because everything is happening at a much faster rate. The birthdays and anniversaries fly by, and I can't seem to catch up. ...
If you had built the ark, would it have floated?
Noah shows us an example of faith: "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith" (Hebrews 11:7).

Heed wise words of the Master
Jesus said, "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" (John 12:48). Knowing how much depends on obeying his word, a study of the Bible should be important to everyone.
