  2. J. Davy Crockett III

Have you ever felt like you were being pulled in several directions at once, and you just weren’t able to achieve your goals? We can have excellent goals—and yet not know which ones to pursue with the limited time and resources we have!

The Reason for the Rearview Mirror

  1. 04th May 2022
  2. Jonathan McNair

Some time ago, I was traveling down the interstate when a most surprising thing happened. We were in the middle of a snowy day (which is actually not the surprising thing, considering January weather in upstate New York, where my family and I lived at the time). What was surprising, however, was the cascade of snow, ice, and gravel that landed on top of our...

Don’t Look Down on the Small Things

  1. 30th April 2022
  2. Roger Meyer

It is natural for people to be impressed with big things and disregard small things. However, small and insignificant things may become great. There are many examples, including some in the Bible, that illustrate this truism—that great things often have humble beginnings. A century-old saying is: “Tall oak trees from little acorns grow.” Indeed, a small seed can...

This Is NOT Our Father's World

  1. 27th April 2022
  2. Wallace G. Smith

A much-beloved Protestant hymn asserts, “This Is My Father’s World.” The song has a beautiful melody, and the sentiment is tempting. Yet, the reality of the matter—as so pointedly shown by the many sudden and destructive events caused by natural disasters—is that our world today is not our Father’s world.

  2. Roger Meyer

Most of us have had a physical examination as an annual check-up, for employment purposes, or to find out if we have a potential health issue. Does God require us to have a spiritual examination? A physical health examination is the process by which a doctor examines the body of a patient for signs of disease. A routine physical will check common measures of a...

Leaving Stephen Behind

  1. 16th April 2022
  2. Thomas White

“And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.’ Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, ‘Lord, do not charge them with this sin.’ And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Now Saul was consenting to his death” (Acts 7:58–8:...

Bread: A Biblical Symbol

  1. 13th April 2022
  2. Roger Meyer

There are thousands of symbols used in society. A symbol is any kind of mark, character, or picture used to represent or stand for something else. Symbols are very useful to convey information and instruction. The Bible uses many symbols, one very important one of which is bread. The word bread appears in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, often simply...

Unimaginable Riches

  1. 09th April 2022
  2. Wyatt Ciesielka

By 1957, J. Paul Getty had become the wealthiest American alive and lived in almost unimaginable luxury. But, even Getty‘s phenomenal wealth seems insignificant when compared to what God has promised us. Getty would often say, “The meek shall inherit the Earth, but not its mineral rights.” He was only half right! Born in 1892 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by 1916...

We'll Meet Again

  1. 06th April 2022
  2. Adam J. West

In 1993, I enlisted in the military. My decision was due in large part to the fact that my best friend Lawrence was already serving and stationed in Oklahoma. He traveled to our hometown often. Together we ran, lifted weights, and did push-ups, all in preparation for my departure for training in mid-August. I could never have predicted the events that followed.

Can We Think of Eternal Life as a Tangible Asset?

  1. 02nd April 2022
  2. Karl Harmdierks (guest columnist)

When I was in high school, I was in a one-act play that reached the state finals. Our last competition started at 9:00 p.m. on Friday evening. As a Sabbath-keeper, I wasn’t able to participate. “Can’t you miss church once?” one girl from our cast asked me, casually adding, “God would understand.”
