Powerful Contradictions
Broadcast Date: August 30, 2026
When life’s ironies hurt, when our expectations are cruelly crushed, and those we most trust deal us the deepest pain, would you remember this about the Lord Jesus Christ?
In His life He was exposed to greater contradictions than any that ever lived. Life gave Him more disappointments and more cruel ironies than any mortal could have…
Daddy
Broadcast Date: August 30, 2026
The Psalmist said “… children are an heritage of the Lord” and “Happy is the man that hath [many] of them.” (Ps 127:3, 5)
Not long ago I was sitting in a church meeting with my youngest daughter, my four-year old, on my lap. The congregation was singing. My daughter, not terribly interested in singing, became fascinated with my pocket…
Jezebel
Broadcast Date: August 30, 2026
It was once wisely observed that “…our Heavenly Father is … more boundless in His mercies, than we are ready to believe or receive, and at the same time, more terrible to the workers of iniquity, more awful in the execution[s] of His punishments … than we are apt to suppose Him to be.” (1)
Well, may I illustrate?
By the time of the…
Prayer
Broadcast Date: August 30, 2026
Richard L. Evans once said “He who ceases to pray loses a great friendship.”
That statement is true. And like all friendships, even ours with our Heavenly Father takes time and effort on our part to develop. It doesn’t come naturally. Misunderstandings must be corrected, and doubt and even laziness must be overcome. I like this story…
Whitewashed
Broadcast Date: August 30, 2026
In our daily struggle to overcome the big sins, once in a while it helps to remember the little ones too. So I begin with a question: Where would we be if God got offended as often as some of us do?
Some time ago I was with a group of young friends. After several hours of intense meetings, we decided to get out of the cabin and have a…
Last Week
Teaching, A Sacred Trust
Broadcast Date: August 23, 2026
Since it’s that time of year when school is starting, may I share an experience with you that happened to me more than thirty years ago?
One summer I was hired by a neighbor to tend a small band of sheep. My job was to take them to the mountain pastures each day, watch them, and then bring them safely home that night. I had been strictly warned when I took the job…
Kidney Stones
Broadcast Date: August 23, 2026
One night not long ago after a late night family movie, my little boy Adam crawled in bed with me wanting a bedtime story. I was just a few pages into “Beauty and the Beast” when all of a sudden a pain hit me in the back and began to intensify. Within moments it was so bad I couldn’t breath. When I sat up, it felt as though someone had stuck a knife in my back. I…
Jane James
Broadcast Date: August 23, 2026
Sometimes it is well to be reminded just how hard some people have had it for the Gospel’s sake.
October 23, 1856: William James was asked to help bury the dead that morning before beginning the ascent of Rocky Ridge, Wyoming. William and his family were a part of the Willie Handcart Company, and snow had caught them ill-prepared on one of the most exposed portions…
The Chastening of the Lord
Broadcast Date: August 23, 2026
“… whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth ...” (Hebrews 12:6)
To chasten in the Scriptures means to correct by punishment, or to inflict pain to reclaim.
Now, it’s a given: If the Lord loves you, at some point or another He will chasten you, and it can be very painful and difficult to bear. The question is: Will we bear it? There are some who haven’t.
In the New…
I Always Had A Place
Broadcast Date: August 23, 2026
Coming out of the world into the culture of Christ can be a wrenching experience, as evidenced by the fact that so many tend to return to their old life.
So what is it that will help the newcomers stay? Maybe this story will help.
Karla came to Idaho to live when she was about nine-years-old. Her parents were not church going people. Her grandmother however, here…
