God’s preeminent revelation to man is in the person of His beloved Son. In human experience it is both joyful and humbling to see our personalities expressed in our children. They share our genes, character traits, and mannerisms. There are many of which it can be expressed “I know who your parents are” or “it’s […]
Few titles given by His enemies to the Lord Jesus were intended to contain so much gall and yet delivered so much sweetness as that of “Friend of Sinners.” To “receive” sinners as a judge or king might disdainfully do to hear small claims cases in their courts was one thing. But to “eat with […]
Predictions have power. They influence emotions, alter behavior, and even change social policies. During the 1960’s, it was predicted that the earth would become overpopulated within a few generations.

Though that makes two sides of a triangle about 800 miles long, I agreed because I had learned that shepherds don’t always travel as […]
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7). While reading an email update from the “Good News on the Move” team, who were traveling across the US spreading the gospel, the title caught my eye. It said, “Urgent Appeal.” […]
