Acts 3:6 says, “Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” This phrase, “Jesus Christ of Nazareth,” was brought to my attention again when the preacher, last Sunday, used it in his message in […]

John 14:5-6 states, “Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Sometimes the way can get foggy. One winter morning, on a winding
Matthew 27:32 says, “And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.” Every time I read the account of the crucifixion it brings tears to my eyes. That anyone would be treated this way is disturbing. I do believe in the death penalty
John 6:5 says, “When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” The great company that Jesus lifted up His eyes and looked upon consisted of about 5,000 men and their families. Jesus not only was

Mark 13:29 says, “So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.” When I first felt called to preach the gospel as a teenager, my pastor, Carl Lindbloom, took me under his wing and tried to encourage me. One day he

Mark 4:3 says, “Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow.” You may think that I don’t know how to spell “sewing machine.” I not only know how to spell it, I know how to run one. I’m talking about a machine that sows wheat—they’re mostly called “drills.” Millions of acres have been sown

John 16:33 says, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” The life of Charles Lindbergh is quite interesting. He loved to fly. Though he was the first man to fly across
