Some time back, my father-in-law told me of an experience he had in the wilderness of West Virginia. He was strolling through a field when he heard the joyous chirping of a robin. He enjoyed its melodious praise for a while before his eyes caught sight of the bird. It was perched high in a wild

We didn’t know that my father would die as young as he did: while on a vacation with my mother to Florida. He was 49 years old. His life had some rough times but what a blessing that in mid-life he made a deeper commitment to Christ. Sharing the Lord and giving to others was a regular habit,

"Sorry, Bobby," his father said, "not now.
But if you will pray real hard for two months, perhaps God will send you a baby brother."
Little Bobby prayed real hard for a month, but nothing happened so he quit praying.
But he was very

“Father” is probably the most common term we use in prayer, and rightly so, because that is how Jesus addressed His prayers, using the phrase more than 70 different times.
The only prayer Jesus ever prayed without using the name, "Father", was when He was on the Cross and cried out, “My

The father said, "It is gone."
"Where?" the boy asked.

My father smoked all of my life so I grew up breathing second hand smoke. I never saw it as a good thing until the day I was thrust into the smoking section of a run down nursing in a big city. The room was just thick with the smoke and my fellow ministry team members couldn’t even stand it, so

Two men were walking through a field one day when they spotted an enraged bull. Instantly they darted toward the nearest fence. The storming bull followed in hot pursuit, and it was soon apparent they wouldn’t make it. Terrified, the one shouted to the other, "Put up a prayer, John. We’re in for
