THE CITADEL: A REFUGE

Feeling, Faith and Fact
Three were walking on a wall,
Feeling, Faith, and Fact.
When Feeling took an awful fall
and Faith was taken back.
So close was Faith to Feeling
that Faith stumbled and fell down too.
But

If Joy is our product, we are free to find new, creative ways to serve and encourage one another. When the stock market plummeted on Black Monday, panic and desperation were everywhere. Ben and Jerry were on the sidewalks of Wall

By resignation I have meaning to be resigned to allow God work in us for His purposes. It is not giving up. It is “Letting Go and Letting God.” Cliché, yes. But it is also very helpful and full of truth. Whether or not we actually journey through the wall depends

Marathon runners often reach the point where they wonder whether they can keep going. They hit the wall. They doubt they can finish the race. Their muscles burn with pain; their strength is gone. They feel defeated.
As we run our Christian lives, we can reach that point too. Faced with our sin, we

It was a sleepy spring afternoon when a tornado struck Waco, Texas. It left behind a wake of destruction seldom witnessed: 113 people dead, hundreds more left homeless, and millions of dollars in property damage. Workers commented the buildings had their outside walls and roof completely gone while

1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Paul said run to win as if winning is everything. It is, but not in the sense that you find in the sports arena. Running to win only makes sense if you’re chasing the right prize.
My daughter, Jen, has a fur-ball with whiskers named Fred. Fred will chase anything that

THE BRIDE OF CHRIST
When I was a janitor at O.B.C. there were two or three times I had the opportunity to clean the floors in the girls dorms. One thing that astounded me as I went from room to room was the large pin-up pictures and posters of brides on the walls. Some of these girls had

I hope that they are praying as well just as two men did on September 11, 2001. I read this story in this week’s lookout. Two men were on the 81st floor of tower #2 of the World Trade Center, desperately trying to avoid the fate that was claiming so many that day.

Standing on a small platform, a reader calls out names, “Michael Hyde. Donald Jackson. Jose Munoz.” The names being read were those engraved on “The Wall.” No one calls it anything else. It was once highly controversial. This was not a statue, no soldier on horseback, but a black granite gash

Seeing Jesus hanging on the cross and seeing blood and water pour from his side is not an attractive sight. But we put this on our walls - because the message to us is clear - we are healed by his wounds. You might compare it to donating blood. It isn’t
