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.

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 [...]

Our Struggle is Not Against Flesh and Blood
Believers often discount Satan as a viable enemy and overlook the Biblical truth that in these last days he is escalating his attack against the body of Christ.

“The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” —1 Samuel 16:7 The eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews is commonly referred to as the “faith chapter,” and rightly so. Some of us may wonder how many of those [...]

Illuminations: God Draws Us to Himself
It was a Saturday morning in Eagleville and all the eagle kiddies were gathered around the TV in the eagle living room—in the center of the eagle nest—watching eagle cartoons.

Our Nation Needs Prayer
You may be one of those who grew up on typing books that used this phrase as an exercise: “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” If ever there was a day when that statement was more appropriate, it has to be today—right now, this very [...]

Illuminations: Our Faith and God’s Will
When I was a kid I believed in Santa Claus. There wasn’t much anything complicated about it—he was real to me because he brought me what I wanted. In my family we didn’t have much material-wise.
