Today is Easter, part of the real love story of the ages:  God loves His people.*  His love for us started before the foundation of the…

We can think of lots of examples of miscarriage of justice, where the innocent are punished or the guilty go free. Or, in general, where there are no consequences, or the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. An “acquitted murderer.” A violent rioter who damaged property or people and wasn’t charged or was charged but immediately…

My husband and I have somewhat different routes for our walks, but we meet at the turn-around spot. Sometimes, when we are starting out, I say: “Meet you on the other side.” Every time I say that, I think of eternity. We will all walk through the door to eternity. The question is: “What is…

Are you in an awful spot? Probably not as bad as Jeremiah’s! Read Lamentations 3:1-20. What did Jeremiah do? What should we do? This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope.

“Not my fault” is heard in endless variations. “He hit me first.” “If she hadn’t done x, I wouldn’t have…” “It wasn’t me.” “It was her fault.” “It was his fault.” “If only I had had (this resource, this experience, this teacher, these parents)…” “If the car owner had locked his car…” Blaming rather than…

Have you ever prayed for a pony and received the entire ranch? (So to speak!) I recently saw a potential answer to prayer that was so above and beyond, I wondered if it could possibly be true. But we are told repeatedly that nothing is impossible for God. And looking at them Jesus said to them,…

Harry Durgin; Kilauea eruption; September 29, 2021; Mauna Loa strip road. When Barnabas arrived and witnessed the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with resolute heart to remain true to the Lord. (Acts 11:23) When we walk into a room, into a situation, or experience something ourselves, are we apt to…
