TALE OF TWO KINGS
Two of the greatest love stories ever told. The one, at Camelot; the other, at Calvary. Two of the noblest kings ever to live. The one, King Arthur; the other, King of the Jews. The one is adorned with a jeweled crown; the other, with a crown of thorns.
The comparisons

During his 1960 presidential campaign, John F. Kennedy often closed his speeches with the story of Colonel Davenport, the Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives: On May 19th, 1780 the sky of Hartford darkened ominously, and some of the representatives, glancing out the windows, feared

Sometime when you’re in an airport, observe the difference between passengers who
hold confirmed tickets and those who are on standby. The ones with confirmed
tickets read newspapers, chat with their friends or sleep. The ones on standby hang
around the ticket counter, pace and smoke, smoke and

Sometimes the cup of iniquity is full and the people are ripe for judgment. In such a case it may happen as it did in the flourishing and extraordinarily beautiful city of Messina, Sicily, the third largest city in Italy. In the early morning of December 28, 1908, the city was almost entirely

During my first ministry, I encountered a man who approached me about becoming a Christian. He had not been in church much before… but he was scared of God’s judgment. He’d just seen a TV special on a man named Nostradamus who had predicted the end of the world and this young man was afraid that

John Betjeman wrote some memorable lines on the Incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ: ‘And is it true this most tremendous tale of all, / The Maker of the stars and sea / Became a child on earth for me?’ It is true, we believe, but it isn’t the whole truth: for the whole truth is that the Maker

How Badly Do You Want It?
In pursuing a righteous goal, Les Brown said: "If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace, and your sleep for it … if all that you dream and scheme is about it, and life seems useless and
