At a church potluck, a younger lady kept walking over to check on an elderly gentleman. She first brought him a plate of warm deliciousness from the food line. She explained to him the different choices that she had made for him. She asked him what he wanted to drink and returned shortly with his beverage. A few minutes later, she paid…

“Nobody knows what I’m going through!” Ever felt that way? Take time to consider these truths. “The Lord knows those who are His” (2 Tim. 2:19). “The Lord…knows those who trust in Him” (Nah. 1:7). “The Lord knows the way of the righteous” (Psa. 1:6). “The Lord knows the thoughts of man” (Psa. 94:11; cf. 1 Cor. 3:20). “God…knows the secrets of…

The word “slow” is found only 15 times in the New King James Version. That’s not very many times for a word to appear in the Bible. Six times it is used of God, who is “slow to anger” (Neh. 9:17; Psa. 103:8; 145:8; Joel 2:13; Jon. 4:2; Nah. 1:3). And, six times it is used in a heavenly appeal to us…

Why are we told about Timothy’s father? Perhaps this detail is…

Arriving in Athens, Paul found a city “full of idols” (Acts 17:16). They worshiped everything under the sun, and probably even worshiped the sun, too. One would not expect to find fertile soil for the gospel here. And, truthfully, there wasn’t much. But Paul didn’t change his message to suit them–he still preached the pure gospel. “And when they heard of the…

Christians put more emphasis on “faith” than anyone else, but is it possible that Christians are actually not putting enough emphasis on “faith”? We say that we trust God, but then we try to handle all of life’s situations without Him. We try to take on the devil and every temptation that he throws in front of us without the strength that…

When discussing the need for Christians to consider very closely who they choose to marry, it is rather common to look at 2 Corinthians 6:14. While some balk at the use of that passage, it most certainly has application to that relationship. Furthermore, Christians should reflect on this passage when it comes to all choices they make regarding close friendships. Read it.…

So where can you find some interesting facts posted on ceilings? Yes, you guessed it–in the dentist office. With so much of your time spent laying back and staring up at the ceiling, this is the perfect place to post things that one cannot help but read. (What else is there to do?) Did you know, according to the ceiling in my…
