WHOSE BOY ARE YOU?
"I was about 12 years old when a new preacher came to my church. I would always go in late and slip out early. But one day the preacher said the benediction so fast I got caught and had to walk out with the crowd. I could feel every eye in church on me.

Forty hours of toiling hard
Can make a tiresome week;
But the work has to be done,

“A missionary in the orient tells how a 20 year-old man approached a temple, removed his sandals, and bowed before the idol. Drawing a dagger from beneath his shirt, in one quick swipe he cut off his tongue and offered it to the silent, lifeless image. In minutes he lay unconscious in a pool of

While driving to church on Easter Sunday two years ago, I told my children the Easter story.

Right away, my 3-year-old son, Kevin, piped up from the back seat, "Will He be in church today?"
