Let's Go Back to the Bible

Thought for the Day (Page 163)

“Would his mom be allowed on the field?”

Watching the JV football player lying motionless on the field seized everyone’s attention. Trainers from both teams rushed onto the field, then the coaches and quickly someone called 911. The ambulance arrived and the paramedics rolled the stretcher onto the field. After several minutes, the boy was finally lifted onto the stretcher and rolled off the field. So, in that situation, would…

“Put the best tires on the front!” Maybe.

When it comes time to rotate the directional tires on your vehicle, always remember that the best tires go on the front. Oh, wait! Someone who lives in Canada disagrees–he says that the best tires always go on the back. Well, perhaps he doesn’t understand that the front tires wear a lot faster than the rear. Oh, wait! The guy from Canada…

What if we had a king like this?

In many ways, we are blessed to have a President, elected by the people he serves, and to not have a King, appointed as the next heir in the family dynasty. However, what if we had a king like Hezekiah? Read only two verses about Hezekiah and then we will ask a few questions. “Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he…

It will be more than worth it!

Sometimes Christians can grow discouraged and weary from battling the forces of evil and ungodliness in this life. There is nothing Satan wants more than for a child of God to get so worn down and frustrated that he finally just gives up. There are certainly temptations to endure (1 Cor. 10:13; Jas. 1:12-15), afflictions to bear (2 Cor. 4:17; 2 Tim.…

“A tool is but the extension of a man’s hand”

(Disclaimer: This article is graphic and may not be appropriate for some children to read.)   To perform an abortion today, the following tools are necessary: hollow plastic tube, flexible hose, suction machine, curette (metal rod with sharp loop on the end for cutting and scraping), forceps (metal instrument like tongs or pliers for grasping, crushing, tearing and removing), large capacity syringe…

It’s all a choice — your choice!

Some people look at being a Christian as a life where “you have to do” a bunch of things you don’t really want to do, and “you aren’t allowed to do” a bunch of things that you really want to do. However, when it comes to the true Christian life, such could not be further from the truth. If you want to…

A Biblical view of “buying time”

Imagine living in the first century and going down to the local market to do some shopping. When you get down there, you find the “usual” — bread, fish, fruit, vegetables, clothes, perfumes, etc. Then, off to the side, you see that there is some “time” for sale — yes, “time” (not thyme). What would you do? Would you buy some “time”?…

When were you sanctified?

“Sanctification” is a key concept in New Testament Christianity, but it is a concept that many have misunderstood. The word “sanctify” means “to set apart, make holy for a sacred purpose.” In one sense, this is a continual growth process for Christians, as Paul wrote to a group of Christians, “This is the will of God, your sanctification” (1 Thess. 4:3). Christians…
