When a worker at an AT&T building in San Jose, California, took it upon herself to clean out an office refrigerator during her lunch hour Tuesday, the smell from the moldy food was so noxious that it sent 28 of her co-workers to the hospital and prompted the evacuation of all 325 people in the

Although there were a variety of beliefs among the ancient Jews as to who was being spoken of in Isaiah 53, a Targum (paraphrase) and the Talmud evidences that many understood this to refer to the Messiah:

The late Bishop Edwin Hughes once delivered a rousing sermon on "God’s Ownership" that put a rich parishioner’s nose out-of-joint. The wealthy man took the Bishop off for lunch, and then walked him through his elaborate gardens, woodlands, and farm. "Now are you going to tell me," he demanded when

Some people think they are a wonder when they are not. I heard about a bachelor who was on an airplane. He saw a pretty stewardess and decided to get her attention.
She passed by and said, “Sir, you do not have your seat belt fastened.”
He replied, “Well, my dear, Superman doesn’t need a seat

A paramedic was asked on a local Dallas TV talk-show program: “What was your most unusual and challenging 911 call?” “Recently,” the paramedic began, “we got a call from that big white church on 11th and Walnut. A frantic usher was very concerned that during their worship service an elderly man

We Christians are as G.K.Chesterton put it, "the most materialistic of religions".
When we reject a crude hedonism that is never satisfied with the material goods it has, it is because we think the things we already have are such wonderful gifts that we should treasure them rather than lusting

When I was in seminary, I heard an illustration that has stuck with me over the years. It began with a question, “Whose holding your trampoline?”
The image there is of a group a people stationed around the sides of the trampoline to keep you from falling off.
