· In the movie "Groundhog Day" actor Bill Murray wakes up to the same day over and over. He finds himself confronted with the same situations he had faced just the day before all over again; only of course it isn’t a new day–he’s stuck on groundhog’s day. Only he is aware of the repetition which

Someone described hell as a place where people are holding 10-foot long spoons trying to feed themselves. And they starve to death because of their selfishness. But in heaven, people are holding 10-foot long spoons feeding each other. And they not only have full stomachs but also live happy

Too many Christians today pray what I call “soap opera prayers.” I used to watch a little Days Of Our Lives back in college, and usually when a character would pray on that show, it went a little something like this: “uh, God, I know I haven’t been much of a church person. But I really need you to

A friend of mine gave a Bible to someone who was going through a difficult time. The person was in real need, and their life had been one disaster after the other, but in all that time there was never any concrete attempt to give their life to God and follow him. As my friend gave a Bible to this

On a particularly rough airplane flight, a lady became very airsick. Her shoulders drooped, and her head slumped forward - she was totally wiped out. The stewardess came by to help her. "Come, come now," she said, "buck up and get control of yourself. Sit up and take courage." She put her arm under

The other night, one of the new born kittens at our house got lost from the other two in the litter. The mother did not seem to know that it was missing, but it cried all night under our window. We could not get to it, and we did not know where the mother was. As much as we tried through the night,

I recently had to clean up some brickwork at home. New bricks had been laid and I had to clean off the excess cement. So I bought a litre of hydrochloric acid and mixed it at about ½ litre to a bucket of water. This was just the right amount to keep the acid effective in cleaning the brickwork

One of my favorite cartoon strips is “Frank and Earnest.” Frank is in the courtroom standing before the judge who says to him, “It’s ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty.’ You can’t plead ‘I gotta be me.’” The cartoon is humorous because it touches a reality in our culture which places the need for

I remember a speaker at one of the chapel services at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where I went to seminary. Having being introduced as our main Missions Conference speaker for the week, he asked us to pray with him. We all bowed in prayer and, after a pregnant pause, John Stensether

We have a wooden nativity of Mary, Joseph and Jesus that sits outside our house and at night a yellow spotlight shines directly on it. It kept blowing over from its position. As I continued trying different things to keep it in place, my mind began to think of a lesson in this annoying problem. A

1. Quote from Discipleship Journal Russ Johnston “Faith That Works” May 1981, “Most of us believe God can move mountains. But how many of us believe he will? There’s a world of difference. We believe God can work mightily on our behalf, but we really aren’t sure he will. In Hebrews 11:6 we learn

A missionary named Dr. Seamands tells about a Muslim who became a Christian in Africa. Some of his Muslim friends asked this new convert, “Why have you become a Christian?”
This was his answer: “Well, it’s like this. Suppose you are walking down a road and suddenly the road forks in two

We may think it strange to emphasize that Christ came back from the dead. A most recent poll done at the end of February asked people if they believed in a physical resurrection. Sadly, among all of the 1,007 people that they asked, 36% said, "Yes." So about a third of the people believed that

Godly sorrow results in a willingness to change. Worldly sorrow results in hanging on to the sin. Worldly sorrow sees the sin as precious, as something you know is wrong yet you find yourself desperately trying to figure out some fool proof way to keep it close to you.

Can you imagine being in Time’s Square in New York City, and there on the jumbo-tron screen was every sin you have ever committed being displayed for all to see?

One way to understand the difference between unsaved, saved but not yet filled with the Holy Spirit, or saved and filled with the Holy Spirit is to think of a dish pan filled with clean water and soap. The clean water likened to the Holy Spirit and the Soap the Word of God that changes our filth.
