Ill: One day John Wesley was walking with a troubled man who expressed his doubt as to the goodness of God. He said, "I do not know what I shall do with all this worry and trouble." At the same moment Wesley saw a cow looking over a stone wall. "Do you know," asked Wesley, "why that cow is

William Cary was a shoemaker when one day he heard of the millions of people in India who had not heard the Good News of Jesus Christ. He believed the great commission to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel.” He believed that that verse was speaking directly to him.
So he volunteered

SUCCESS BY ACCIDENT
Coca-Cola was the result of an accident. In 1886 a pharmacist named John Pemberton cooked up a medicinal syrup in a large brass kettle slung over an open fire, stirring it with an oar. When he was done, he figured he had created a fine tonic for people who were tired, nervous,

COUNTERFEIT GOSPEL
Counterfeit money is lacking in authority—-it does not have the backing of the federal government. A good counterfeiter can dupe some people into accepting his copywork as legitimate currency. But eventually, when the fake money is brought before the authorities, it will be

When I was younger, I would mow the lawn with ear mufflers on. It was a time to be with God and my own thoughts. Quiet time with lawnmower accompaniment. Once–just once and barely for a minute–I had a very quiet Epiphany. I remember it as if it were yesterday. I had turned a corner on the

THE LOVE FOR GOD'S HOUSE
No wonder the Psalmist longed for God’s House. It is sad that many people, even some who claim to know Christ, take so little interest in His church-—the Church He purchased with His own blood.
Some people only show up on important occasions in life. The only time the

In one community -- the Village atheist was not a bad man. He just didn’t believe. He wasn’t interested in church…and there was only one in the area. And this church was,-- well, mostly a social club. Heartlessly and spiritually dead—no conversions or decisions for Christ had been made for some

A professor at Cornell University wrote this poem. I can’t decide if he were a disciple of Christ or an opponent.
What was our trust, we trust not;
What was our faith, we doubt.
Whether we must or must not,
We may debate about.
The soul perhaps is a gust of gas,
And wrong is a

Remember pagers?? They were cool while they lasted. I remember being amazed at how someone could call me from anywhere in the U.S, and (through the miracle of tech.), a few min. later I feel this buzzing on my hip. Every time it happens, it’s unexpected and I kind of go… “OHHH!” But the message

FAITH AND AN ELEVATOR
If I stand on the ground floor of a 27-floor building and press the button for an elevator, I am confident (I have faith) that the elevator will arrive. Indeed, it does, and the door opens.
I am now presented with a vehicle that, I am confident (I have faith), will take

"WATER! WATER!"
After one of the great battles in the Civil War we were coming down the Tennessee River with a company of wounded men. It was in the spring of the year, and the water was not clear. You know that the cry of a wounded man is, "Water! Water!" especially in a hot country.
I remember
