Robert Boyd Munger has an article entitled, “My Heart, Christ’s Home.”  Using a simple analogy (his heart as the Lord’s home), he talks about what true devotion really is like. He focused on an “drawing room.” We would call it the living room....

I got to thinking about some celebrities and famous people that I have had to pleasure to “meet.” Once on vacation in Hawaii, I had a momentary chance conversation with the sports caster, Jim Nance (a very nice guy by the way). As a teenager, I...

Everyone sems to be familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15.   But recently I came across a copy of a message by Charles Spurgeon that he entitled, “Prodigal Love for the Prodigal Son.” He preached that message in March of...

Years ago, I read a great story about a young man who left the “old country” and sailed to America looking for a new life in the “New World.” (I think the story came from Sanders’ book, Enjoying Intimacy with God.) “Before he left, his father...

I grew up in a little Baptist church where everyone shouted a hearty “amen” when they heard something they liked. The cadence of the Pastor and his message would often be adjusted by the ebb and flow of those amens. It was a way to signal our...

This morning, I read an article that was printed in the Wall Street Journal. I am not sure of the date of the incident, but I found it to be extraordinarily upsetting. It has to do with an ongoing two-month exchange between a 36-year-old Florida...
