The Moral Choice

“Are you reading the Bible?” I asked as I sat at the kitchen table with a friend of our son’s, Aadesh. “Yes,” he replied. Aadesh had asked for a Bible earlier this summer after I had told him that the Bible had a lot to say about financial principles. “What are you reading?” “Romans,” he replied. Wow! I thought. What a deep book of the Bible to start in! Aadesh explained that some other people had recommended Romans as a good place to start with to learn what God says about finances. He was very interested and seemed to agree … Continue reading The Moral Choice

The Christian’s Secret of . . . Service

mikeandsus

I am reading an abridged version of Hanna Whitall Smith’s The Christian Secret of a Happy Life. Her advice in her chapter, “Service”, is very encouraging. If you think you have to meet every need and help in every ministry opportunity, or you are unsure about what directions to take in ministry, she advises: “The life of trust also delivers us by reminding us no individual is responsible for all the work in the world, only for a small share. I may have five, or two, or only one talent. I am to do that which I am called to … Continue reading The Christian’s Secret of . . . Service

“I already know the Lord,” she smiled and tried to hand the Passage tract back. Pearl was the third, vibrant Christian I had given a tract to in the past ten days.

Besides, if any of these Christians need to share their faith, I hope my example may encourage them to start. Also, last week, Jenny and I stopped in the Wal-Mart hair salon for some shampoo and … Continue reading The Encouragers

The Olympics

The two young men carried on with their conversation and ignored me, even though I was just three feet away from them. You’ve been there before, too. You stand in a grocery line and the bagger and the cashier chat with each other while they work. This situation makes it harder to connect with them, but I still try to talk, even briefly, and give them the Gospel in a tract they can read during their break or at home. The natural time in this case is when they are finished working and the cashier asks for my payment. After … Continue reading The Olympics

Our Virtual Bookshelf

mikeandsus

If you would like some ideas next time you take the kids to the library, you might like to visit our online bookshelf. We have read a lot of books as a family, so I started a virtual bookshelf of over 500 books we have read that we recommend for family reading. The books range from pre-school through teens. I homeschooled our three children for fifteen years. For most of that time we visited the library faithfully and used a laundry basket to carry our books back every two weeks. I also read out loud to the family and “always” … Continue reading Our Virtual Bookshelf
