Unbroken
I do not often recommend a book other than the Bible. Today I break with tradition. Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand (author of Seabis-cuit: An American Legend) is a must-read for every American—young and old. This is the true story of Louis Zamperini, troubled delinquent who [...]

Are You a Perfectionist or Simply Perfect?
Most of us spend way too much time trying to change others. This is sheer insanity on our part! In Genesis Chapters 1-2, we read God’s account of the creation. And in this account, we are told that we are created in His image. Obviously if this is true—and it is because all scripture is [...]

New Opportunities for WWI
Our upcoming visit to Myanmar will include another new teaching site. Last January we traveled inland from Yangon to Taung Gyi (for the first time) to conduct a training on inductive Bible study techniques. That training was in response to a request from an evangelist in Philip’s association who had attended the training in Yangon [...]

Illuminations: Getting Through the Phobia
There’s something you may not know about me: I have a few phobias. Not many. And a lot of people have them, so it’s no big deal really. You just have to learn to cope. Or I should say, navigate around any phobias that get in the way. One of the most noisome of [...]

If Ever We Needed Jesus, It’s Now!
“For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” —Matthew 18:20 If this nation has ever needed Jesus, it’s now. The downward spiral of morality has not only caught up with us, but it’s taken us way beyond our ability to turn things around. Truth has lost its meaning, [...]

Are You Struggling to Find Your Purpose in Life?
How often we hear from people concerning their struggle with finding their purpose in life. Mothers feel incomplete, graduates vacillate over what career path they should take, corporate employees feel empty about their role, retirees want something more. In fact, most of us question our purpose from time to time throughout our lives—some are perpetually [...]

Trade In Your Rights for Something Better
We grow up thinking that we have certain rights and that we should exercise them as often as we can. Sometimes we even refer to these rights as “god-given.” Now that’s truly funny—that God would give us the kind of rights that most of us think we have: like being first or being better than [...]

Illuminations – Seeing the Truth in the Lies
My apologies if I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but I must speak what God puts on my heart. And my heart is heavy these days with what I see happening around me in our great nation.
Time was, a man’s word was his bond. People could be trusted to keep their promise. Truth was valued as much as life itself, and good people told the truth no matter the consequences.
Where is that truth today?

The Absolute Truth of Relativism
By M. Thurston “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.”—Colossians 2:8 Moral relativism, the belief that right and wrong are dependent upon the individual and situation, is rapidly sweeping our nation, and [...]

Feeding Our Brothers
When speaking of the poor, James said “Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, ‘Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?” [James 2:15-16] Clearly, the Bible teaches we are to [...]
