David knew enough about the human body that he said, “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14) I’ve always been fascinated with the human body. When I attended Chiropractic school, it added to my learning that we are “fearfully and wonderfully […]
You know the story. David, the beloved king, stayed in Jerusalem when he should have been leading his soldiers. He committed adultery with the wife of Uriah, one of his outstanding soldiers. When David learned she was pregnant, he tried to cover his tracks by having Uriah killed on the battlefield. That was bad. Real […]
“My folks instilled in me a strong work ethic. I’m honest and I’ve worked hard all my life. I’ve been frugal, so I have a sizeable nest egg.” Many Americans can say the same thing. But an important feature is missing. There’s no mention of God’s help. Long ago the LORD had warned people whom […]
Though Jesus warned us that the Tribulation would be preceded with wars, it doesn’t make them any less awful. What we are witnessing in Israel and Ukraine right now are tragedies. Entire neighborhoods and cities have been decimated. As a result, far more tragic than damage to structures, has been the injury and loss of […]
Have you ever felt like getting away and escaping the pressures that weigh you down? Perhaps it is work that is repetitive and never-ending. Perhaps it is the responsibilities of being a mother of a young infant or toddler, or needing to clean the bathroom, do the laundry, fix multiple meals, or other monotonous, but […]
There are a lot of upsides to using a woodstove to heat your house: warmth no matter the weather or availability of electricity. But, one of the downsides of handling all that wood is splinters. Even using gloves, there is the possibility of getting a small splinter. It’s not the large ones that are hard […]
When I was young, I liked TV shows about cowboys. I wore my six guns so often that one of Dad’s friends nicknamed me “Tex” (He called me that until he passed away). If you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said, “A cowboy.” I liked Gunsmoke, […]
After a devastating storm or fire, the person interviewed often says something to the effect, “We’ll build back better. We’ll be stronger than we were before.” I know they are trying to bring comfort and hope to the people, but there is no mention of relying on God’s help. It sounds a lot like the […]
Giants are not only the subject of fictional children’s stories like Jack and the Beanstalk. There were actual giants who lived on Earth in the early days of the Old Testament. Probably the most famous giant was Goliath, a huge man standing over nine feet tall (Even Shaq would appear small next to him). This […]
After the exodus from Egypt, when Israel was to enter the land which God had promised to Abraham and his offspring, the people refused. As a result, God made them wander in the desert for forty years. At the end of that time, the Israelites had another opportunity to cross into Canaan, this time near […]
