Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. ” Years ago I heard a minister tell of an incident in a hospital elevator where he had just come from visiting a very ill patient. A young man overheard him speak about eternity and, perhaps wanting to mock his view, asked the minister where eternity was. The minister told the boy to place his hand on his chest to feel the beat of his heart.  Young man, eternity is one heartbeat away!  That may answer where ete

These two women met often for fellowship and discussion of their new hymns. Eliza was a school teacher in Philadelphia and a Christian lay worker who was committed to write songs to teach children the basic tru

It is not. It was part of a poem by missionary C.T. Studd who served the Lord in China, India, and Africa. He not only left us this poem, but his work for Christ will last throughout eternity. The reality is that our life flies past at such a pace that we always need to be alert to the opportunities the Lord gives us to reach the lost world. It is tragic that so many people spend their time, talent, and energy on things

I have many fond memories of spending time in and around that place. Sometimes I would help the dish washer, but in reality was more hindrance than help. Years after we had moved away from Camas I always wanted to drive by and see if Kelly’s was still open. I had told my wife Joyce about it enough times that she was no doubt tired of hearing my stories. A day came when I took a trip down memory lane with Joyce.We were able to find my family's old house and the old church wh

" Way back in 1953 I walked into an Air Force Recruiting Station and was met by a Sgt. Swift. He told me of the positive features available if I enlisted; I trusted him and enlisted.  But that is not the end of the story --  ten years later  I had received my college degree and a commission in the Air Force. My first assignment was at the training base where I ha

It is cause for the greatest praise and glory that God sent His Son (part of the Godhead) into the world to bring the greatest gift to any and all who receive Him. Many gifts are exchanged at this festive season, but the greatest gift of all times is the precious Lamb of God who was born in Bethlehem so long ago. I urge you to spend time relishing in the pure joy that this gift entails.

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’” Several years ago our church had finished a wonderful Christmas Eve service. Earlier there had been candles placed inside white lunch bags that lined the driveway leading to the church. Joyce and I had volunteered to extinguish the candles after everyone had left. It ha

Be at peace among yourselves.” It is difficult to live in peace when the world around us is nothing but chaos. There is strife on every hand, and even within the church of Jesus Christ there are factions that war against each other. If you have ever been involved in a conflict with other Christians, you know that it seems like a no-win situation. Years ago I heard the story of a pastor who had an obs

One of the taunts that was used on the playgrounds when I was a boy was “fraidy cat!” -- which often led to someone taking a dare that usually led to an injury. It was almost as if injury was preferred over fear. There is a  reverential   fear  of the Lord that is righteous and worthy of honor. It is an awareness that when we are close to the power of God we need to feel the awesomeness of the Almighty that dwarfs all hu
