WHAT WOULD HE SAY?
If He should come today
And find my hands so full
Of future plans, however fair,
In which my Savior has no share,
What would He say?
If He should come today
And find my love so cold,
My faith so very weak and dim
I had not even looked for Him.
What would He say?
If He should

One incident helped change Western civilization—Paul’s vision of a man from northern Greece led him to take the gospel westward into Europe instead of eastward into Asia—with far-reaching results.
Nearly 400 years later, a remarkably similar dream changed all of Irish history.

Don’t you just love spring? It’s simply glorious. Trees blooming. Plants blossoming. It’s all so beautiful. Unless of course you were looking at my front yard earlier this year.
Last summer we bought three bushes that looked so promising. The leaves were supposed to turn all kinds of spectacular

‘Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house
Not a creature was praying, not one in the house.
Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care
In hopes that Jesus would not come there.
The children were dressing to crawl into bed,
Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head.
And Mom in

[054]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – DAY IS AT HAND
This poem is figurative in a sense. I look at the early glimmer of light in the east as the sun soon will rise. Then it increases until it is full day with the bright shining sun.
What the poem does is begin with the harbinger of the dawn in
