Impostors Are Growing Worse

  1. 22nd September 2021
  2. Roger Meyer

There is an interesting New Testament prophecy about evil men and impostors that is being fulfilled right before our eyes. We are all familiar with numerous public warnings issued about daily scams, as their perpetrators steal from young and old, rich and poor. Scams are conducted via emails, social media, phone calls, or old-fashioned, in-person presentations...

COVID-19—perhaps no event has so universally affected the globe since World War II. According to a July 21, 2021 article by U.S. News & World Report, only 14 countries out of the 197 in the world haven’t reported a COVID-19 case, and twelve of those are small island nations. It is a worldwide crisis that has likely sparked a variety of questions in the minds...

A Disastrous Season of Discontent

  1. 15th September 2021
  2. J. Davy Crockett III

Smell the smoke? Hear the pop-pop-pop of gunshots? Is that the wailing, grieving parents surveying a bloody scene? Is that the sound of breaking glass? Do you hear sirens of first responders and law enforcement? That must be the chants of protestors you hear along with the smell of tear gas. The summer sounds of tree frogs, crickets, and night creatures have...

The prophets of old were sent by God to warn Israel, Judah, and other nations that their sins would bring about God’s punishment. This happened over and over again. Could it happen today? And more importantly, will it?

Heat-Hammer-Anvil

  1. 04th September 2021
  2. Charles Knowlton (1927-2013)

When I was a youngster, we lived close to a blacksmith’s shop. The smith was a man trained to take a piece of metal, heat it, beat it, and cool it—thereby producing needed and useful articles. His tools were simple, his strength was great, and his eye was keen. The blacksmith’s implements were few: a hammer, anvil, and forge. His forge was used to produce heat;...

Real Hope is NOT Just a Wish

  1. 01st September 2021
  2. Roger Meyer

We live in trying and stressful times. Now, more than ever, we need to have hope. Today, hope is generally considered a feeling of wishing for or desiring something. Is that the kind of hope we need? People say things like “I hope our team wins” or “I hope I get this job.” We desire these things to happen, considering our preferred outcome possible but not...

Sowing the Wind

  2. J. Davy Crockett III

I admit it! I'm a weather junkie. I follow reports on the weather carefully and check the Weather Channel often to see what is going on in different parts of the country and the world. For many years, I was in a business directly impacted by the weather. As you can imagine, it wasn't a random activity for me to want to know what tomorrow's weather would bring—...

Internet Works of the Flesh

  1. 25th August 2021
  2. Wyatt Ciesielka

Scripture warns of the sins of lewdness, fornication, and adultery, which God calls “works of the flesh” not fitting for His saints (Galatians 5:19–21). If not sincerely repented of, these sexual sins will lead to death (Romans 6:23)! Yet the Internet today is full of modern-day “works of the flesh,” which many adults and even teens are participating in. What...

Don't Work too Hard?

  1. 21st August 2021
  2. Eddie Breaux

As we parted ways from a meaningful conversation, a friend once bid me a cheerful farewell by saying, "Don't work too hard!" As I began to think about his statement, I wondered, what is wrong with hard work? And how did hard work become vilified in our modern society? Isn't hard work the means of achievement?

The Chastening of the Lord

  1. 18th August 2021
  2. Roger Meyer

Why do we resent correction? Very early in life, we rebel against being told “no” or being prevented by a parent, sibling, or teacher from doing what we want. What is it about human nature that makes us resist correction?
