Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf describes his experience at West Point:
When I began as a plebe, “Duty, Honor, Country” was just a motto I’d heard. By the time I left, those values had become my fixed stars. It was a tremendous liberation.

Imagine a father giving his son a special toy for his birthday. And the boy likes it. A lot. In fact, he likes it so much, he goes overboard. He just wants to play with it all the time. Then, the father tells him it’s time to put it up. But the boy becomes disrespectful of the father. “Why

Let down the nets? Give me a break!
But then...Luke says, “When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.” Not the kind of break Peter had in mind. Not the kind of outcome he had in mind either. Have you ever reached to lift something -- a milk jug,

We need to continually surge forward spiritually, to prevent sliding backward. I discovered recently that the Australian coat of arms has a picture of an emu and a kangaroo. They chose those particular animals because they both share a common trait that appealed to the Australian forefathers. Emus

Remember Joseph. In prison, he interpreted the dreams of the Pharaoh’s chief cupbearer and chief baker. 3 days later, the chief cupbearer was restored to his job. Joseph remained in prison, and the chief cupbearer forgot about him (Gen 40:23). He was back fat and happy, and it was 2 full years

Charles Swindoll says, ¡§To walk by faith does not mean that we stop thinking. To trust God does not imply becoming slovenly or lazy or apathetic. What a distortion of biblical faith! You and I need to trust God for our finances, but that is no license to spend foolishly. You and I ought to trust

The work of Japanese painter Hokusai spanned many years before his death in 1849 at age 89. But toward the end of his life, the artist dismissed as nothing all the work he had done before age 50. It was only after he reached 70 that he felt he was turning out

THE CROSS
The Son sets us free by becoming a curse for us and thereby removing the curse from us, by taking all our guilt on Himself thereby clearing us of guilt, and by "binding the Strongman" through His death, thereby setting us free from Satan's kingdom. Oh, what a cross!
