I want to share a story from Reader’s Digest, December 2002, which was taken from a story by Lee Hill Kavanaugh, of the Kansas City Star. It goes like this:
Perry Bice turned off the engine but remained behind the wheel. Parked in his driveway was a wheelchair-accessible van, a huge red and gold

HANG A WHITE HANDKERCHIEF
I once read about a young man who had run away from home because he could not get along with his parents. Somehow, his parents were able to get a message to him, inviting him back home. He wrote back, saying that he was coming home and if they were sure he was welcome,

The law indeed was given through Moses;
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ … (Verse 17)
If you compare the two, you’ll find that when the Law came down, 3,000 people died. That’s in Exodus 32:28.
When the Holy Spirit came down, 3,000 people were saved. That’s in Acts 2:41.
That’s the

In Texas last week, an 18 year old man was arrested for wearing a noose in public. As Jewelry.
Seems kind of morbid doesn’t it? A noose is an instrument of an agonizing death. It represents vigilante law, I would never be proud to wear a noose.
What about an electric chair? Did you know you

I was introduced to “different” the summer I took about 30+ Jr. Highers to Mexico. What an experience! Yes, our own Mike Hain was with me (and what a trip he had). The things I saw on that trip changed my life -- forever! I can’t begin to tell you the broadening I experienced during that two week

The law has a purpose. In the case of Cain’s wife, there was no need for this law at the beginning. There are over 130,000 genes that we inherit from our parents (Explain genes to the ancient world). Genes are formed in pairs. At the moment of conception, we inherit one gene of each pair from each

There once was an oyster whose story I tell,
Who found that sand had got under his shell;
Just one little grain, but it gave him much pain,

Which had led him to such a deplorable state?
Did he curse
