LEAVE A SPIRITUAL INHERITANCE
“A good man,” says Proverbs 13:22, “leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” Leaving a material and financial inheritance in a wise manner is good stewardship and can be a great blessing to your heirs. But have you considered ways to [...]

What is the value of a human life? I’ve been reading about the Terri Schiavo case in Florida. While the facts of the case warrant concern in themselves, the issue most troubling to me is that so many people in our county think so little about human life and its dignity. Various surveys conducted by [...]

If you haven’t been reading good Christian books lately, you might be surprised by the number of good “light-weight”? reads. These are “light” in the amount of words and pages, but still bear depth and insight. In fact, you might find yourself thinking, “that was the best two hours I’ve invested into my spiritual life [...]

He was one of the twelve men sent to spy out the promised land of Canaan in Numbers 13. These spies reported seeing a land flowing with milk and [...]

I’ve had “birthdays” on the brain lately. It started this weekend with some of the boys getting together to celebrate the creation of Charles Kim (whose actual birthday is tomorrow - 1/26). He turns thirty-five, also known as the second half of life. Assuming we live to the fairly ripe age of seventy, thirty-five puts [...]

The other day, I read a bumper sticker that quoted Einstein: “imagination is more important than knowledge.” That might ring true to the naturalist who thinks the universe is a grand adventure of human discovery. But how ridiculous a statement to place human creativity above divine propositional truth! Knowing Christ is surpassingly greater than everything [...]
