We live in a society that has this upside down. A guy gets arrested for dog fighting. He is in big trouble. It is not only federal trouble, but the state is going to try him for animal cruelty too. Now I want you to know that I am not opposed to that. I joke about not liking dogs, but I am

"GOD'S NOT GOING TO JUDGE ME"
Life magazine once interviewed dozens of people. One person they talked to was a prostitute, age 24, in White Pine County, Nevada. She said, "I don't think about my feelings a lot, instead I lie in my bed and think onto Him. I meditate because sometimes my words don't

Worldliness is a hard word to define, mainly because the world sees their way of thinking as a good thing. Consider what one online dictionary has to say about the matter. “Worldliness is the quality or character of being intellectually sophisticated through cultivation or experience or

Thoughts on Fasting
I begin this morning with a riddle, or, at least what I hope is a riddle. (Or maybe a pseudo-riddle).
The riddle is a common experience several of us have had over the years. Here it is: "Some of us have had to do it more than once. It something that we know is for our own

LIMITS DEFINED
As I began to think and pray on the passage that we will uncover and talk about today, I started to think about "limits." The most obvious limit I could think of was "speed limit." A speed limit, of course, is the maximum speed allowed on a road for a vehicle. Believe it or not, the

WILL YOU PRAY FOR THE TALIBAN?
I am all too ready to say that the TALIBAN deserve God's judgment without really thinking twice. I tend to think of them in the same way that I think about SODOM AND GOMORRAH. But did Sodom and Gomorrah really deserve to be judged? Does the Taliban? If I knew that a

GIVING AWAY GOODNESS
Mark Tidd of Webster, New York, describes an experience from his college days:
“An old man showed up at the back door of the house we were renting. Opening the door a few cautious inches, we saw his eyes were glassy and his furrowed face glistened with silver stubble. He

I have found that there are two ways of getting angry. One of them I call the “microwave oven” anger. A microwave, as we all know, heats things up in a hurry; but I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but it seems there is an “equal and opposite” principle at work also, and food heated in a
