If you’ve ever watched a Little League baseball game, there’s always a guy on the bench waiting to play. He wants to hear the coach say, “Billy, get in the game.” No doubt he is nervous, but he’s thrilled when he hears those words. Babe Ruth was one of the greatest baseball players ever. For

When I was studying Spanish, I would listen to sermons in Spanish from a church in Mexico called Casa de Oración (“House of Prayer”). The pastor spoke distinctly, which helped me understand the language. He was an Arminian, believing a believer could lose eternal salvation. Sometimes he said that if a Christian continues in sin,

But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it” (Luke 8:21). In Luke 8:21, the Lord stresses the importance of hearing and doing the wordi of God. Some take this verse as being addressed to unbelievers. They need to hear the

Looking for Good Employees

I have a lot of respect for people who can start their own businesses. They’re able to take a chance and do something new. It’s like rolling the dice. It’s exciting. But they don’t take the safe route. In this area, I’m the opposite. I’m happy working for somebody who’s already started a profitable business.

All of us live under some kind of government. Though many would say it’s an impossible goal, what would it take for a government to be righteous? It starts, of course, with a righteous ruler. In the OT, that was the most important requirement for the king in Israel. He was commanded to obey the

I am not an art historian, but I can appreciate a great painting. Most of us have seen the painting The Storm on the Sea of Galilee by the Dutch artist Rembrandt. As you might guess, it depicts the account of Jesus and the twelve disciples crossing the Sea of Galilee in a boat. Mark

On numerous occasions in our lives, we have to choose between two different paths. Even when we use GPS for a long car trip, it will often give us more than one option. One road may be quicker, while another may be fewer miles. One might be more scenic than another. The Bible tells us
