                    [207].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – OUR BEHAVIOUR IS NOT OF THE WORLD
If I am a fool I will act like a fool.  If I care for no one, you will probably find me at parties drinking and smoking pot.  You see our behaviour flows from what we are inside.

                    A study was recently completed on corporate managers. In it they were asked if they voiced positions that 1. focused on the good of the company, rather than personal benefit and 2. jeopardized their own careers. Emerging from this study were the four leader-types which are found in all

                    In 1900, in Bangor, Ireland, a group of Salvation Army youth were conducting a street meeting.  A young man named Billy Nicholson who had desired to do great things for God passed by.  Several of the ones in the Salvation Army troop knew that Billy professed Christianity so they invited him to

She was to do certain things for him as a wife, mother, and homemaker.  In time she came to hate her husband as much as she hated his list of rules and regulations.  Then,

Each group was instructed to raise their hands when the teacher pointed to the longest line on three separate charts. What one person

When people like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins claim that they can prove that God doesn’t exist, they are making an arrogant mistake. Pardon me while I draw an example from modern animation. When I was a child, the most glorious cartoons were 2-dimensional animations where

                    You share Christ by imitating Christ. A story is told – by Fredrick Beuchner I believe – called “The Happy Hypocrite." It is a story about a man who was born with an awful facial deformity. He grew up alone and lonely. When reaching adulthood, he decided to move from his town to begin a new life.

Jonathan Edwards, the 18th-century revivalist, sat down at age 17 and penned 21 resolutions by which he would live his life. Throughout his lifetime he would add to this list until, by his death, he had 70 resolutions.
He put at the top of his list: "Being sensible that I am
