by Paul Miles, adapted from an article in the March-April 2012 edition of Grace in Focus. President Calvin Coolidge was known for being soft spoken.

People line up and wait for hours, push their way through crowded stores, and increase their debt in the pursuit of satisfaction via stuff. […]
by Bob Wilkin Yesterday I heard a good sermon by Luis Rodriguez. Speaking from Psalm 100 he said that we should be thankful people. All. The. Time. We should thank the Lord for everything, for our food, our housing, our jobs, our health, our families, and so forth. Luis is right, of course. As children […]
By Phil Congdon originally published in the November/December 2016 edition of Grace in Focus “For we do not grieve as those without hope” (1 Thess 4:13). Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday, not just for turkey dinners and a day off work, but because it is an annual reminder — often overlooked but ever-present— that we […]
