When I was in Amsterdam, working as a missionary with YWAM, a Christian music group came to the city to play at a place called "The Last Watering Hole." A number of us went to hear them play and support them in their mission. While we were there, a who was not a Christian light up a joint. Out of

I met a man who told me he was celebrating his birthday this month. I asked him what day. He replied, "I don’t know what day my actual birthday is on." He said that he was so old that when he was born there was no such thing as a birth certificate and that he had so many siblings his parents just

The foolishness of trying to cover up our sin is well illustrated with the story of the drunk husband who snuck up the stairs quietly. He looked in the bathroom mirror and bandaged the bumps and bruises he’d received in a fight earlier that night. He then proceeded to climb into bed, smiling at the

GREEDY MONKEY
Have you heard of the mischievous monkey? He was running loose and getting into people's houses and stealing food. Try as they may, the town’s people could not capture the monkey. One man had an idea. He got a very large jar with a very narrow neck and put some peanuts in the

Spiritual Near-Sightedness
One of my favorite riddles is this one
Q: What did the near-sighted porcupine say when it backed into a cactus?
A: Pardon me, honey!
If you are near-sighted, you see objects that are near, but distant objects are blurry or unclear. To put is simply, you are equipped to

LISTENERS MUST ACT
The address is not given for the speaker’s sake, in order that men may praise or blame him. The listener’s repetition of it is what is aimed at. If the speaker has the responsibility for what he whispers, then the listener has an equally great responsibility not to fall short in

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.

JOYCE MEYERS: ADDICTED TO PEACE
"It sounds strange but when I started learning to be peaceful, I was bored at first. I was so accustomed to having something major go on in my life all the time that I wondered what am I supposed to do with myself. That describes how my life used to be. I had no

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 —
