For when I am weak, then I am strong.”   Back in the 1970’s I seemed to have it made. I was Deputy Director of the Idaho Law Enforcement Planning Commission. The position paid well and I was offered a similar position with a Federal agency. But God had other plans for me. I felt God’s call and took a part-time position with my home church. The pay was less an

The pain of separation is eased with the assurance that there is a bright tomorrow waiting for us when we will be united with those who have died in the Lord. Fanny J.

For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”    Many years ago I sat enthralled as I listened to Rev. Tim Lahaye speak on the rapture of the church. It later became the topic of his book series and movie which we know as  Left Behind. I am convinced that there will come a day when the Lord will call His church to meet Him in the air, and so shall we ever be with Him for all eternity. The signs Jesus said to look for are detailed in Matthew 24. If you study this chap

The giants of the faith never claimed to be perfect. In fact they have been quick to admit they are constantly in need of God’s redeeming grace.  All we like sheep have gone astray.  I wish it were not so, but it is a spiritual reality. I take great encouragement in the

The gripers, moaners, and fault finders of the world are generally composed of those who are just sitting on God’s premises.    A long time ago I read about a man who was traveling across the Atlantic on a ship.
