Which is more beautiful? A person’s feet or their tongue? “Well, that’s an unusual question,” you say as you picture pampered feet in a pair of pricey stilettos. Then you remember the rich tones of a Shakespearean actor or of your favorite singer, or the deep bass voice of your pastor reading the Word of God. You conclude that the tongue seems more important at least. Also, you know in witnessing to others it is even essential to be prepared to know what to say. However, God warns us in James 3: 8 – 11 that the tongue cannot be … Continue reading Which is more beautiful? A person’s feet or their tongue?

Martha? Or Mary?

November 14, 2005 mikeandsus

“I don’t care what the Bible says,” Elma stated. I was a little taken aback by this statement and several others she made. I had put together a handful of verses for her, but she was obviously not going to be interested! She then told me a lot of her life story, mixed with tears. She had lost her husband thirty years ago and two of her children had died young. I decided afterward that I had prepared to talk to a “Martha,” but Elma was a “Mary.” One of God’s lessons for me this year comes from a message … Continue reading Martha? Or Mary?

Using a BIG TOPIC

November 11, 2005September 30, 2024 mikeandsus

Ever since the attacks on America on September 11th, 2001, Campus Crusade for Christ has published evangelistic mini magazines you can use as witnessing tools. I will keep you posted on the Recommended Resources page on how you can obtain them. Almost a year after the attack on the Pentagon, our family took a vacation to Washington, D.C. I made sure I had fifty copies of Fallen, But Not Forgotten. I wish I had more because I distributed them single-handedly in one day! The people I found most interested in the magazines were the security guards. Tourists and locals alike … Continue reading Using a BIG TOPIC

A Little At A Time

November 9, 2005 mikeandsus

I am bursting with ideas and stories, but I do not want to overwhelm you. So, my plan is to write about once per week. Generally, I will share thoughts, Scripture, motivation, and witnessing stories. Please invite others to sign up. Also remember to come to the site to share comments on something you’ve read or to read other’s comments. Another good reason for not flooding your inbox comes from Quotes To Live By: Learning to Listen To Those Who Suffer For Christ by Alex Buchan (page 8). An itinerant preacher in a closed country would leave five verses for … Continue reading A Little At A Time

Hasten His Return

November 7, 2005 mikeandsus

“Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God.” ~ 2 Peter 3: 11 – 12a I was reading yesterday in The Move of the Holy Spirit in the 10/40 Window by Bush and Pegues (page 24). The book is older and did not have current statistics. However, the number of Christian martyrs is staggering! “Between 1900 and 1980, approximately 26 million, more than half of all Christian martyrs ever, were killed.’ As I … Continue reading Hasten His Return

The Grand Prize Winner!

February 18, 2005 mikeandsus

Mike used to say he never wins anything, but this month he won the Grand Prize from our radio station. We all had front row seats at a Christian concert. We also were taken backstage to meet the artists and received their CDs. I am actually writing this in 2008 because we noticed our photo is still on the radio’s web site. Scroll all the way to the end of the photos and we are in the second to the last photo with Steven Curtis Chapman. We thought we would not be going to the concert because it was expensive … Continue reading The Grand Prize Winner!
