Learn Spanish in Six Hours
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. – Matthew 10:22 Recently, I heard a commercial that touted an amazing claim. “Learn to speak Spanish in only 6 hours!†“Six hours? There is simply no way to learn an entire language in six hours!†I thought. One thing is for sure, that advertiser was going to get a large response from the vast audience of listeners that...
Renewed Youth
We have an awfully good God. He looks after all things well. He made everything and knows just how to supply all the needs of his creation. He looks after the ant who stores up food and works all the day long. He even sees to the enormous elephant. He does all things well; and we can rest assured he will take care of you and me. “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul,...

It wasn’t the system alone that got my attention… it was what I read next. The memo went on to say that white noise is merely a constant flood of sound that...
Make Me!
How many times have we heard a child refuse to do something, with arms crossed defiantly stating his or her stubbornness, ‘Make Me’? We find in scripture several statements of ‘Make Me’; however, it is in a spirit of contrition and submission that serves as the backdrop of this plea. Luke 15:11-24 21 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. …. 19 And...
He Can Use Me
He sat on the church platform beside my pastor. His left hand held a well-worn Bible, while his right hand gripped a clean toilet brush. The sounds of children singing a praise song in Chinese brought smiles to everyone, especially to the man holding God’s Word and a common cleaning gadget. The beaming man was Reverend Kevin Vacca, a visiting missionary from Taiwan. As his son and two daughters returned to the front pew to sit...
