    Illustration: Influence One of the strange sights on the Dutch Windward Islands in the Caribbean is the Divi-Divi tree. Because the winds blow almost constantly from the east, all of the branches grow on one side of the tree. You can look at a Divi-Divi tree and always know which is east and ...read more

    This week I saw an ad in the Arizona Republic newspaper. It was an ad placed on behalf of someone’s grandmother, which said: “Lost: one pearl ring. Lost near 35th Avenue and Cactus. Setting is chipped from many years’ wear, has one diamond on each side of pearl. Great sentimental value. Large ...read more

     | 2,085 views

    I saw a cartoon recently where two men were sitting on a park bench … neither one is saying anything for several frames. Then one man lets out a SIGH. The other guy gets up and mutters, “Well, if you’re going to talk Politics, I’m out’a here!” It makes me think of the Proverb that says, When ...read more

     | 779 views

    "But Jewish tradition also sees Esav in another light. The famous Talmudic sage, Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel, was known for the great care he took in fulfilling the Mitzvah of honoring one’s parents. Yet he stated: ’I served my father faithfully all my life, yet I did not even reach the smallest level ...read more

    "If, now, Christ is our brother, I should like to know what we still lack?

     | 3,793 views

    SEARING OUR CONSCIENCE My dad had a ‘76 Honda Accord. One day, the "service engine" light came on. He said, "Here, I’ll show you how we fix that," and he pushed the key into a slot right below it that reset it. The light went off, but I'm not sure that was the point of it being there in the ...read more

    Now here are some cultural issues that may help us gain a clearer picture. The crumbs that fell underneath the table were pieces of bread used to wipe one’s hands. They did not fall there accidently. They were thrown under the table indicating both excesses of the rich man and his utter lack of ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 31, 2009
     | 2,256 views

    The problem for Isaiah, however, is that the filth and corruption was not outside Jerusalem, it was in it, in the hearts and on the lips of his people. That was the reason for all the invasions of Assyria and Babylonia. The kings of the north would be a purifying fire that would purge the sin ...read more

     | 3,151 views

    Every day over 25,000 people die of hunger. That's over 1,000 people an hour. In other words, as many people die of hunger every hour as are killed in the world's deadliest wars in a year. One person every 3 seconds ... most often, children. If the effects of death by famine in the world today were ...read more

    HISTORY IS STORY OF UNFORSEEN In the introduction to his A History of Europe, H.A.L.

I can see only one emergency following ...read more

  • Which Basin?

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 3, 2013
     | 4,103 views

    WHICH BASIN? Remember there were TWO basins of water mentioned in the Bible. One, Herod used it to wash his hands -- "this has nothing to do with me". The other one, Jesus used it to wash His disciples' feet. It has nothing to do with Him too. It's the job of slaves but He did it. And He ...read more

  • Kyle Idleman On Waiting Until Later

    Contributed by Kevin Karhoff on Mar 19, 2013
     | 4,701 views

    I suspect there are a lot of fans who feel okay about a half-hearted relationship with Jesus, because they have every intention of one day going all in and being completely committed. They don’t feel convicted about not following Jesus because in their minds they know that one day they will. They ...read more

     | 3,620 views

    Finally, for those who are willing to lay their life at the altar, the reward by way of a Crown promised is not one of incorruptibility (I Cor 9:25) or rejoicing (I Thess 2:19) or glory (I Peter 5:4) or righteousness (2 Tim 4:8) but paradoxically the one of Life (Rev 2:10). Hallelujah!!! No wonder ...read more

  • Thin Skinned And Hard Hearted

    Contributed by John Bright on Feb 2, 2025
     | 562 views

    Somebody smarter than me said the greatest problem in the local church is that we are not who we were designed by God to be. As Believers, we were made to be thick-skinned and tender hearted. That’s how we can “love one another fervently with a pure heart.” (1 Peter 1:22) Instead, we have become ...read more

    Miss Abigale was the one church member sure to stick her nose into everyone’s business. One day, she accused George, a new member and a man of few words.
