“Your Secret Sins Will Come to Light”
The newspapers of Cincinnati recorded that a poorly dressed woman went to Dr. George Herman asking him to make an X-ray examination of her heart free of cost. She claimed that she was very poor and couldn’t pay.
The doctor consented to do the work. But when

SAVED AND SAVING - D. L. Moody shared this:
One day I saw a steel engraving that I liked very much. I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen, at the time, and I bought it. It was a picture of a woman coming out of the water, and clinging with both arms to the cross. There she came out

"Hey, I can hear you!"
The other day, Susan and I were eating out and some guys at a nearby table were talking about some of their experiences with women. They were getting louder and louder, and it seemed like they were trying to one-up each other with who could say the most inappropriate thing.

BARN RISING
Herman Ostry’s barn was under water because of a nearby creek. The Nebraska farmer invited a few friends to a barn raising. But it was not a typical barn rising (I said raising). They didn’t build a new barn. No, Mr. Ostry needed to move his entire 17,000 pound barn to a new

When my grandson runs to me as I get home in the afternoons, he often says, "Hey Pa, do you want to play with me?" I say "Yes of course I want to play with you but I will need to do a few things first, like get a cup of coffee and relax for a little while." He says, "THEN will you play with me?"

INSURING YOUR VOICE
Friends of George Burns have always kidded him about his singing. Burns, a master of self-deprecating humour, decided to take advantage of this and insure his voice for a million dollars. He thought it would be a wonderful publicity stunt.
"I was so excited," said Burns, "I

MINISTRY: A CHARACTER PROFESSION
Ministry is a character profession. To put it bluntly, you can sleep around and still be a good brain surgeon. You can cheat on your mate and have little trouble continuing to practice law. Apparently, it is no problem to stay in politics and plagiarize. You can be

IF YOU OBEY
Nearly thirty years ago, I was a middle school teacher in Kenya. One day I took 20 students, and I told them: "I will do my best to teach you and train you. If you obey me, you will be the best students of this school." They were excited.
In a short time, I realized that only some

LIGHTS FOR OUR PATH
A couple of years ago, I went outside after dark to look at the stars in ways we couldn’t while back in Minnesota. I stepped from the porch, with the lights of course, and then I tripped on the water-hose. Down I went, taking my wife and daughter with me. Truth be known —

GOOD WITHOUT GOD
An atheist organization recently got into hot water when it put up a billboard that crossed over onto church property. The message on the billboard read, "I can be good without God." What do you think? The funny thing is I agree, I think they are right!
They have hit something

NOT ASHAMED
No matter what you are looking for, you can find a religion or philosophy to fit your state of mind. We find this culture creating pressure on the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. We find people church-shopping--looking for the right “fit” for their needs. And I realize that we need to

THE PROMISE OF A FLAT-SCREEN
Reminds me of a 42-year-old woman from South Bend, Indiana. She called the police after being sold what she thought was a flat-screen TV.
She was approached by a man who offered her a great deal on the TV, a new flat-screen TV for only $500 dollars. She admitted it
