FITTED FOR SERVICE THROUGH SUFFERING
I grew up as a military brat and later my dad was a missionary to the military. When I was growing up, I was never exposed much to suffering. When we lived overseas, if someone got too sick, they shipped them back to the States, or (when we were stationed in

I like to read the tombstones to find out when people lived and died. Occasionally someone writes a scripture verse on their tombstone but most of them just give a name and the dates they lived between.
I didn’t find any interesting tombstone comments in Alden MN where My great Aunt Frieda was

Remember Woody Allen’s comic assessment? "I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work," he said. "I want to achieve immortality by not dying."
Which is it? Are we immortal because there are those who remember and cherish the fact that once we walked this "vale of tears" or are we immortal

O eternal, infinite God! O mad lover! And you have need of your creature? Is seems so to me, for you act as if you could not live without her, in spite of the fact that you are life itself. And everything has life from you and nothing can have life without you. Why then are you so mad? Because

Pastor Andrew Murray of South Africa once faced
a terrible crisis. Gathering himself into his study,
he sat a long while quietly. Prayerfully, thoughtfully.
He wrote this in his journal.
1. I am here by God’s appointment; in that fact I

It was absolutely amazing. I was in West Africa—Timbuktu to be exact—and the missionaries were telling me that in that culture the larger the women were the more beautiful they were thought to be. In fact, a young missionary who had a small, trim wife said that the nationals had told him she was a

“Constantine did not collate the Bible. The Old Testament had been compiled even before Jesus’ time. The New Testament’s formation began by the end of the first century (about 90 or 100)—almost two hundred years before Constantine. In fact, recognizing which books of the New Testament were

That’s right – “slavery” is the primary word used to talk about service or ministry in the Bible. In fact, let me bring you up to speed on our most biblical title: “doulos!” That’s right…you’re a doulos! Simply a slave. Feel better now, don’t you?

When I was in business it was the accepted practice, for employees to have an annual appraisal. It can be painful, but let’s face it, no-one like to be told that they’re less than perfect! I think believers in Jesus need it more often than once a year, even if it’s only a self-appraisal. In
