    Each decade, the older generation imposes standards. Each decade, the younger generation pushes those envelopes a little further and sets up a standard of their own. Our families need a standard to measure up to, and the Word of God is that timeless stand

    The Bereans show us that a quest becomes noble when: 1. We receive the Good News with eagerness. 2. We examine the Scriptures to see if it is true. 3. We are transformed by the truth.

    My favorite part of Paul Harvey is the last segment of the newscast that he calls “For What It’s Worth.” One day he gave this interesting story: “Our For What It’s Worth Department hears from Hershey, Pennsylvania — where the woman in the Mercedes had been waiting patiently for a parking place to ...read more
