Amen to That
Chris Bires, 41, was on his way to work. He walked this street in downtown Chicago every day, Monday thru Friday. It was routinely uneventful. Until that day.
When Chris spotted a man playing his saxophone on the street and the empty can next to him, he decided he’d do a good deed. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out all his coins and emptied them into the can. The bearded young saxophonist smiled at the clean-shaven executive and thanked him. When he got to work, Chris discovered that he was missing his wedding ring.

Case Closed
Mr. Eggers was 68 years old. He had been employed as a customer service representative with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage in Des Moines, Iowa for years. He did his job well. He was also a law-abiding man. So, one can only imagine his shock. Eggers was summarily fired. His offense? Back in 1963, when he was nineteen, Eggers had inserted a fake dime into a laundry machine.
Biblical Conduct - Part 14 Protect the Sheep
Of all animals, sheep are some of the most helpless, foolish, and weak. That is why God so often compares humanity to sheep. It’s not flattering, but it is the truth: like them, we are helpless, foolish, and weak. But God loves and cares for the weak.
Biblical Conduct - Part 13 Salt & Light
Like Moses, Joshua, David, and other heroes of the faith, we have been called to know God and to make Him known. Is your light shining before others? Or are you bowing to the pressures of culture and putting your lamp under a bushel? Are you exposing the darkness and evil that is around you? Is your life helping to preserve your neighbors from the death and decay of false ideologies and harmful actions?

A.W. Tozer said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” This is because the question, “Is there a God?” is the most foundational concept humans address in their existence. All other decisions and ideas flow from the answer to this question.
To Have and To Hold
The Declaration of Independence is the greatest, most passionate, and most beautiful expression of the spirit of individual liberty ever penned.
MEN
The absence of a father creates an aching void in the heart and life of a child that no government program can fill. In point of fact, it’s been well-documented over the years that many such programs, well-intended, have actually contributed to the pathologies and destructiveness that have hurt families.
Biblical Conduct - Part 12 Impossible Rules
How are we supposed to conduct ourselves, as believers? Should we follow tradition? Should we follow rules for character and etiquette?
Biblical Conduct - Part 10 Love In Action
From that time up to today Marxism has been responsible for the worldwide murder of over 85 million people, the oppression and torture of millions, and the proliferation of extreme poverty for all except those who join the evil ruling system. What is the loving thing for believers to do when confronted with a philosophy that endangers the lives of hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people?
The Big Screen
The optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds—the pessimist fears this is true.
Biblical Conduct - Part 11 What is the Source of Character?
God wants to change us from the inside-out. In God’s design, we would remember His great love for us, drink deeply from His Word, choose to offer our lives to Him every day, and then He Himself will transform our character from the inside-out!
