The dangers in space require that astronauts wear special suits for protection. There are two kinds of spacesuits that astronauts wear. One kind is worn during lift-off and again on re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. The other one is...

I was awakened at a very young age to what sounded like fighting in my parent’s bedroom, and what I saw was something no child should ever see, and that was the abuse of my mother and the raging temper of my father. We moved a lot, and in my child’s mind, I didn’t understand why we moved more than other pastors’ families. I would settle in and make friends, then we would move again, changing schools every few years. As I grew into middle school and was old enough to understand, I became aware of...

The word “love” is the most explicitly used, extremely misused and abused word, and at the same time, the least demonstrated action word. Numerous writers have attempted to define love, and many continue to amend and amplify the significance of this most desirable concept. It is unfulfilling to...

Jesus invites you to come to Him at the altar each day, as you are. When you are sick and wonder why He does not intervene, when you are exhausted and don’t feel like caring about anything or anybody, when you have...

People can mock me as a Christian, urging me to forsake this apparently unseen God and seek solace and answers from the gods of this world—such as alcohol or other addictive substances to drown my sorrows. There was a time when I did try these physical gods due to...

However, this summer that extra pay money was gone, all used up paying debts. So this summer, I would have no choice but...

It is so important to remember that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). He is only a prayer away! Will you join me in determining to push through those moments of emotional drought and...

At Jesus’ birth there were few people awaiting His first coming. The shepherds were some of those people. Priests, rulers, and kings were just living for themselves, they were...

My symptoms were mild, just a runny nose and coughing. But a few times I coughed so hard that I thought I would bring up a lung. In September 2022, I felt a hard lump in my stomach while showering. That was very concerning to me, so I made an appointment to see my family doctor. He took one look at my stomach, felt around a bit, and declared that it was a...
