Men And Their Macho Machines

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 4, 2009

Men have sadly learned to use machines as status symbols and instruments of power, but that only leads to destruction. Learn from Him whose ride was a lowly beast and whose symbol is a cross.

I had been away from home for about three months, working in Akron, Ohio, as an engineering student. The three months were over, and it was time to go back home. I went back the way college students traveled in 1957 … not in a plane, not in a car of my own, not with my father coming to transport ...read more

Dead Men Walking

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 15, 2015

So are we dead men walking? Is it a possibility that the Spirit of God has left us? Are we more sensitive to people than the Holy Spirit? Do we really Love God above everything else in life? If so, is it evident (genuinely) to folks around us?

Opening illustration: A popular movie several years ago, based on real events, gave an interesting angle on this. Apparently most states that have Death Row put the execution chamber close to that cell block. When a prisoner comes to that fateful day when he is to be killed, he is released from his ...read more

The 3 Wise Men

Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on Dec 29, 2014

There are a few lessons I learnt from the actions of the three wise men following the message they received of the King born in the manger.

In Luke 2:8-20 is the record of the three shepherds who we oftentimes refer to as the three wise men from the east (Mat 2:1-13). According to Bible record, these three men were the first to be informed of the newborn King and the message was brought to them by an angel that was later joined by a ...read more

A Story Of Two Men

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 2, 2014

Psalm 1 sets forth the character and lifestyle of a righteous person. This “good man” described here does not “freewheel”; that is, he has some rules, some standards by which he lives. He doesn’t take his cues from what those about him are doing.

God's Gift To Men

Contributed by Jon Lipka on Jul 8, 2014

The sacred mystery of Christmas is the Incarnation, that God became flesh and made His dwelling among us. The world opposes this mystery as irrational and offensive, because it points to our fallen nature and need for a Savior.

The Mystery of Christmas, what makes it special, is the Incarnation. A mystery is not part of our human, rational understanding. It is sublime, and part of divine revelation. Non-Christians can witness the events of Christmas—the baby in the manger, etc.—but without God’s ...read more
