“He who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death” (Jas 5:20). When workmen began a year-long $500,000 renovation in 1994 on the Washington monument in DC, they didn’t expect to find graffiti. But that’s exactly what they found. Graffiti from the 1800s discovered when workers removed some […]
A whirlwind is energy in motion. What may seem chaotic could, in fact, be God on the move for us. In a whirlwind of trouble, Job lost his family, wealth, reputation, health, friendships, and peace of mind. All he seems to have left are questions—plenty of them! He’s hoping (and maybe we are, too) that […]

JESUS the KING: “Behold your King!” (Jn 19:14). When Pilate said these words, the mockery of the Lord Jesus’ claim to be king was almost complete. He wore a crown of long Judean thorns. A second-hand purple coat had been thrown over His bleeding back. A reed had been placed in His hand as a […]
“And Miriam answered them: ‘Sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!’” (Ex 15:21). What a day! After centuries of slavery, at last they were free! Moses’ big sister led the women in this song of praise. They had not merely escaped Egypt, […]
The Jewish daily prayers, called in Hebrew “Sidûr,” include “Thirteen Principles of the Faith,” composed by the famous Moses Maimonides (Rambam). These are to be repeated by faithful Jews with their morning prayers, and include the following: “I believe with perfect faith that all the words of the prophets are true” (clause 6); “I believe […]
CHRIST the GRACE DISPENSER (Heb 4:16): W.A. Cornaby tells of riding with a Chinese boatman on the river Han: The current was strong so, in spite of much poling, we made little headway. Then, having performed a simple operation, we began to speed along. In a tone of innocence, I asked him: “Does putting up […]
“Seven times a day I praise You, because of Your righteous judgments” (Ps 119:164). No petition here: it’s all praise. And yet praise is a kind of petition. Praise seeks access and joy in fellowship with the One we adore. Whenever I read this verse, I think of a visit to Chicago. It was a […]
“Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things” (Isa 40:26). Two renowned physicists acknowledge this. Arno Penzias (1978 Nobel prize in physics), discovered cosmic background radiation, evidence the universe had a beginning: “Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the […]
JESUS the I AM: “If you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins” (Jn 8:24). Fifteen hundred years before, Moses inquired as to the name he should use to identify to Pharoah the God he represented. “I AM,” said the Lord. “I AM THAT I AM” (Ex 3:14). Illustrated by […]
