I've seen gold, and I've seen silver, but I have never seen apples of gold in silver settings. My initial reaction is that such apples in such settings must reflect both tremendous value and exquisite beauty. There are words like that-words of tremendous value and exquisite beauty! And we can possess them even though they were all spoken so very long ago. We can possess them by reading the reports of them in the Bible and by reflecting deeply ...

After we sang our closing song and prayed our closing prayer, these wonderful people began coming to me one after the other to bid farewell. I couldn't speak their language, and they couldn't speak mine, but I soon discovered we didn't need an interpreter as we had a common language after all. It was the language of smiles, tears and uplifted index fingers. Yes, as they said their goodbyes to me, these Brazilian brothers and sisters in Christ ...

We had to spend quite a bit time in the barn on the little family farm that I called home during my childhood years. The cows had to be milked each morning and evening. That barn was already old and rickety when my dad bought the farm. In wintertime the wind would whistle through the cracks in those barn walls and chill us to the bone. My dad's remedy for the problem was to nail cardboard over those cracks. That certainly didn't make the barn ...

We live in trying times, times of moral laxity and confusion, times when God's laws are scorned and disdained, times in which people make up their own rules as they go along. Parents rightly want their children to be happy. But what produces happiness? Many parents think it is produced by allowing their children to do whatever they want. All of this makes the bringing up of godly children extremely difficult and challenging. Sometimes it seems...

The Gospel of John may very well be the best loved of all the books of the Bible. Written at a time when many false teachers were challenging the basic facts of the gospel, John produced this grand and glorious Gospel that its readers may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

We are all called to great living. Living in which we rise above the small and trivial to achieve the purpose for which God made us. What is that purpose? It is to live in such a way as to bring pleasure and glory to the Creator (Rev. 4:11). We cannot live this way on our own. We must have help, and God has graciously given us help in his Word. The Bible gives us his guidelines for living. It tells us what he expects of us. But the Bible does ...

The life of Moses presents us with difficulties and challenges much like those we are facing today. We live in times in which the dark storm clouds of opposition and hatred are increasingly gathering over the people of God. The stage is being set for anti-Christ. The times are so dark and troubling that many Christians find themselves disheartened and discouraged. As we study his life, we shall find comfort in knowing that our God is as suffic...

Early mornings are very predictable for lots and lots of Christians. Roll out of bed, turn on the coffee pot, pour a cup, settle into a favorite chair and enjoy what is called "the daily devotional." This usually consists of reading a passage from the Bible and a selection from a daily readings book. It concludes with prayer. Believers who follow this pattern can go through a good number of devotional readings as the years go by. So they are a...

Why not turn on the coffee pot, pour a cup, settle into a favorite chair, and enjoy a daily devotional? The more you ponder God's love and grace, the more you find your heart flooded with gratitude and filled with desire to serve Christ. People everywhere need to be reminded of the greatness of what He did in His life, death, resurrection, and ascension. So pour that cup of coffee, read My Coffee Cup Meditations, and rejoice in His glorious go...

There's a golden key that unlocks the Bible. That key is Jesus. He tells us so. On the day of His resurrection, He met two travelers on the road to Emmaus and "expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself" (Luke 24:27). There you have it! Jesus believed that all the Old Testament Scriptures concerned Him. Later that day, He met His disciples and assured them "that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the ...

It was finally gone, the victim of the cold steel of a bulldozer's blade. I knew the end was rapidly approaching, but I still hated to see it go. I'm talking about the little old house in which I spent the first twenty-one years of my life. Little? Yes. It consisted of a kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms, a pantry, and a porch. And what about the bathroom? There was no bathroom. We used the privy, which was situated a little way down the hi...

I used to marvel at Rover. Milking time would come, and Dad would say: "Rover, get the cows!" But Rover wouldn't immediately dash off as one might expect. He would listen until he heard the bell that Dad had put around the neck of one of the cows. Then he would dash off, find the cows, and slowly herd them home. It was obvious that he relished doing his job. It was something that made him feel proud.Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by ...

I don't know how my dog Molly knows, but she knows. She knows when Sunday arrives. I've tried to figure out how she knows, and I keep coming up empty. But from the very time she gets up on Sunday, she seems to act differently than on other days. Early on Sunday mornings, I place my Bible on the small table by the garage door. But Molly always senses its Sunday before I do that. I wonder what her clue is. Do we know as much as Molly? Do we know...

Our two sons, their wives and their children were all present for the Christmas gathering. Turkey, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, corn, sweet potatoes, and homemade bread were on the table. When the moment came that we had been eagerly anticipating, we took our seats. As soon as our youngest grandchild, Eramin, was comfortably situated in her high chair, she surveyed the table and asked: "Where are the donuts?"Enjoy these ...
