    Raymond P. Murray- Wanted The great want of this age is men: Men who are not for sale; Men who will condemn wrong in friend or foe- in themselves as well as others; Men whose consciences are as steady as the needle to the pole; Men who will stand for the right though the heavens totter and the ...read more

    It seems as though the devastating water of the Asian tsunami uncovered an ancient city 45 miles south of Madras, India. Apparently, according to old British travel writings, the area was once a 7th century port city with seven pagodas, six of which were submerged by the sea. The location was part ...read more

    Count the Cost - “Think for a moment of the most worthless, unnecessary purchase you have made in recent years.

    Some time ago a man was staying in a chalet in the Swiss Alps. Early one morning he heard what sounded like an earthquake. Hurriedly he got out of bed and ran to the front desk and asked if there was something wrong, if the mountains were breaking up? He was scared. The man at the front desk ...read more

    John Bevere states, “However (eternity), it’s not just a matter of ceaseless time, as it is not subject to time. Eternity transcends time. To speak of eternity in terms of merely perpetual duration is to miss the full picture. To capture the best view of eternity, we must look at God Himself. He is ...read more

    You do not know wealth, you do not understand prosperity, if you have not found Gods Word. It is the truth in the world of falsehood, and life in the midst of death. It reveals what is not seen clearly by the naked eye, and uncovers what men and their carnality has hidden. People have speculated ...read more

    I can’t say I have ever felt afraid of God, but I have felt the awe of His presence, and I have been overcome by a sense of His majesty. I remember standing out on a mound of earth out on a property and looking up at the stars. Away from the city, the stars seem so much brighter, and I cried out to ...read more

    Man Takes Pride in the Advances in Science and Technology I love science and technology. Indeed, one of my favorite places in the entire world to visit is Cape Canaveral, Florida. This is the home of the NASA space shuttle launches. One can visit there and see all of the monuments to man’s ability ...read more

    Story: On 28th August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC Martin Luther King gave his famous speech “I have a dream”. Who then would have dared to dream that 50 years later we would have had an African American President. Yet it was Martin Luther King’s dream that I believe had much to ...read more

    A JOYFUL NOISE You know, when our youth group went Christmas caroling, Emma was all aglow. We sang to her, perhaps not in the most angelic of tones----especially when we tried to sing "O, Come, All Ye Faithful", because the music we used wasn't the familiar tune we sang today. I felt kind of bad ...read more

    BACKSLIDING IS MISERABLE It is a miserable thing to be a backslider. Of all unhappy things that can befall a man, I suppose "backsliding" is the worst. A stranded ship, a broken-winged eagle, a garden overrun with weeds, a harp without strings, a church in ruins--all these are sad sights. But a ...read more

    ON SUFFERING "It is a very difficult matter to understand when God permits affliction or loss to come into our lives. Our humanity wants to cry out, "Why me God? I love you and faithfully serve you. Why did you permit this sorrow to happen to me?" . . . one reason for affliction is to make us into ...read more

    MARRIAGE TAKES HARD WORK Good marriages are designed in heaven, but they are made on earth. And it takes hard work. It reminds me of the pastor of a big city church who ran an ad for a caretaker/housekeeper. The next day, a well-dressed young man appeared at the pastor's door. But before he ...read more
