Use their flashlight to show you the way in a dark place.
If something goes wrong, everyone looks to the guy who has been identified as knowing the way – by his jacket, his name tag, his silly hat, and his light
There was a young man working as an usher, and his manager asked

New Every Morning
Yea, “new every morning,” though we may awake,
Our hearts with old sorrow beginning to ache;
With old work unfinished when night stayed our hand
With new duties waiting, unknown and unplanned;
With old care still pressing, to fret and to vex,
With new problems rising, our minds

There’s a device invented some time back commonly called a “fuzzbuster.” Its purpose is simple – to alert car drivers when a police radar gun is being used in the area. In other words, it’s to help you break the speed limit. Otherwise, you will worry a lot, looking over your shoulder and

Swindoll states from his book Living on Ragged Edge, “But the flesh will answer back, ‘Aw what’s the rush? Why not wait until you have sown a few wild oats? Why not wait thirty or forty years until you’ve had a pile of fun doing things your own way then turn to God? I mean, you get the best of both

SEALED BY THE SPIRIT
How many of you have ever canned food? When I was a child, we lived on a farm in the Appalachia Mountains of Virginia, and my parents canned all kinds of food. If they just put it in the jar without sealing it, the outside air would get in it and ruin the food. By sealing it,

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
Let me read it to you in closing:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And - sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could.

Mary begins by telling God that she praises Him from the depths of her soul. I learned a long time ago, when I was minoring in music in college, that there are different ways that we can sing with our voices.

Some don’t pray much at all. A fisherman who was out of fellowship with the Lord was at sea with his godless companions when a storm came up and threatened to sink their ship. His friends begged him to pray; but he demurred, saying, "It’s been a long time since I’ve done that or even entered a
