Double Portion

[…]land. David had a desire for a temple dedicated to God, but it was Solomon who built it. Various kings before Asa did not remove idols from the land, but Asa, king of Judah took courage and removed the detestable idols from the whole land” (2 Chronicles 15:8). As you consider Elisha’s request, does it rise up in you, as it does in me, to avoid using expressions such as “indispensable and irreplacable” when it comes to turnover in personnel or volunteers? Completion of God’s mission is not up for grabs or personality dependent. God’s mission is enduring and we, […]

Predicting the Future

[…]of them. The code was carved on a black stone monument eight feet high; it was discovered in 1901. The code then regulated in clear and definite strokes how society should be organized. Yet, Hammurabi’s code is not really the earliest. There are some indications that another code was established four centuries earlier; Hammurabi’s code implies its existence. With the above as a backdrop, a commentary on mankind reveals that people have always tried to replace random chaos with some type of order. Stated another way, most people do not like to take risks, and want to envision a secure […]

Wrestling with Depression

[…]“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). Michael Weiss served thirty years as a U.S. Army Chaplain Assistant, retiring in 2007.

Will you embrace the Christ of Christmas?

[…]ever marched, all the navies that were ever built; all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that one solitary life, Jesus of Nazareth.” (Dr. James Allan, ©1926)   What often comes across as merely Christmas card captions are there for the quick reading in our holiday mail: “Jesus is the reason for the season.” Or: “He came to pay a debt He didn’t owe because we owed a debt we couldn’t pay.” But while even many non-Christians can tolerate a cute […]

What you do and how you lead does matter

[…]maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander” (1 Peter 3:13-18).  Be Ready! Philemon 1:6 says, “I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.” Then be ready to respond to everyone who asks. This is important—one man’s evangelism is another man’s proselytizing. But when you are asked, what seeds of faith are you prepared to plant? It highlights the importance of walking in the Spirit and having a tightly crafted personal testimony, of developing habits […]

Striving

by Maj Steve Mansdoerfer, USAFR (Ret.) Be still, and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10). “Airman, you have less than a five percent chance of being accepted into Officer’s Training School.” As I heard those words, I thought I’d have to give up my dream of becoming an officer. I had worked hard to get my application package ready to go before the board. But I did it, leaving the outcome in the Lord’s hands. And after twenty-one years of service, I retired as a major in the Air Force Reserve. I learned a mighty lesson about the power […]
