  • The Reason for Resistance

    Why is it that some people never respond to the gospel? They are not necessarily mean about it, though they may be. They are simply not open to it.

  • Plug In and Keep Charged

    When I travel, I take my laptop computer with me, because I try to work on my messages. But often I must work off the battery, so whenever I get the opportunity, I plug in to the nearest electrical outlet. Why? Because my battery is running down, and I need to recharge.

  • 'Why, God?'

    I don't think it is ever a bad thing to ask God why. Some people will say that we should never question God. But I question God all the time. I don't mean that I doubt His existence. But I do say, "Lord, I don't understand why you have done (thus and so). . . . Why, Lord?"

  • For the Sake of the Gospel

    Even in the church today, we can write off a lot of people, sometimes even fellow believers. It seems that sometimes the slogan is, "Us four and no more." We can divide over minutiae and allow second-tier and third-tier issues to bring unnecessary division in our ranks.

  • God Still Speaks

    Is He interested in what happens to us as individuals? Does He really have a master plan for our lives? Or are we merely victims of blind chance?

  • In God's Hands

    I have a friend whose father died and never had a relationship with God. As a matter of fact, my friend wasn't a believer at that time, either. But my friend told me how he went to visit his father in his hospital room and noticed that one day, not long before he passed, there was a copy of the Bible there in his father's room. It was apparent that his father had requested it, knowing the end was near.

  • Hope Does Not Disappoint

    I am the LORD . . . they shall not be ashamed who wait for me. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord

  • Son of Encouragement

    You would think that, upon hearing of Saul's (later known as Paul) conversion, the early church would have given him a standing ovation. The fact is that the believers were still suspicious, because in Acts 9:26 we read, "When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him. . . ."

  • A Walking Light Bulb!

    The religious leaders thought they had eliminated the problem when they crucified Jesus. But now, His disciples were preaching and performing miracles. It was as though Jesus had returned. And so He had—in the hearts and lives of His people.

  • A Choice in the Matter

    After hearing the voice of Jesus on the road to Damascus, Saul (later to become Paul) was left blind. He was led to the home of a man named Judas in Damascus, and he had no idea what would happen next.
