Psalm 119:11 states, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Some believe this psalm was written by David. It certainly reflects his life. The question I am looking at today is; can we get the Word into our heart? And more specifically, have we done that? In […]

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

Matthew 17:27 says, “…go thou to the sea, and cast an hook…” I have heard a lot of fish stories. One of my favorites—true story—was about the evangelist who was holding revival services in a small town. This preacher was an avid fisherman. His name was Ron. My understanding was that he bragged a little

Matthew 6:20 says, “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:” I remember a Donald Duck cartoon where someone asked Donald’s Uncle Scrooge if he had any hobbies. He said, “Yes, I collect coins.” The next cartoon caption showed

Acts 4:33 says, “…and great grace was upon them all.” Today grace is an overused word. Churches often use grace as part of their name. Finding myself a little confused about the word, I went to the dictionary. Webster gives 12 different meanings. The first definition is “Favor, kindness, mercy.” We might ask ourselves: “What

1 Corinthians 12:31 says, “But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.” The “way” that Paul is talking about is charity. Some translations use the word “love” instead of charity. This is actually more confusing. Love has a number of different meanings; charity is more specific. It

Genesis 1:26 states, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:…” This simple verse says volumes about God and man. God made a creature in His creation that looked like Himself. He did not create another God. Adam was not God, but he looked like God. He must have looked

Exodus 4:2-3 states, “And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent: and Moses fled from before it.” While driving the cuber down a windrow of hay,
