This past week I saw an interview on TV with Ted Turner. Turner is about a good an example as you could find of someone who has gained the whole world. As the founder of CNN and many other enterprises, he’s a billionaire with about as much power and influence as any individual can attain in one

We need to understand that when we share our faith, we cannot get discouraged when others do not accept Christ, because there are those in this world that will NEVER accept Christ…
I recently read an account of a young Christian in the military who tells about sharing his faith with another

"I’m happy to say that I’m a staunch

WHERE FRUIT BEGINS
I believe with everything that is in me that fruit begins with each one of us. It begins with a decision, “I want to bear fruit. I want to honor Jesus. I want to walk in his ways. And I will do it no matter what. No matter what life throws at me. No matter what struggles I face.

NOT "WHY?" BUT "WHAT?"
I remember a particular counseling session years ago where three of us were trying to encourage a change of personality and a change of behavior in a spouse.
Dr. Jay Adams, in his book on direct, biblical counseling, said the purpose is not to find out why a person sinned,

Little Bethany was as cute as a bug's ear. The only child and the only grandchild, she was the center of attention. Discipline was not the strong suit of these new parents. They would feed her in the middle of the night, even though she was old enough to sleep through the night, because they
