Getting Prayer “Right”, Part Two
Image by Pexels from Pixabay “Hallowed be Thy name.” Here is the greatest prayer we can ever pray. I thought this morning, as I lifted it up: “It is THE prayer of my life.” Make it yours too. There are two main thoughts in this compelling, opening line. First, it is a request that God’s Continue reading

The Field, the Barn, and the New Farmhand
It was the summer of 1985, and I was at a four week Navigator summer camp experience at a beautiful place called Camp Forest Springs. I had just heard a message by the state director of the Navigators, a man named Bill Tell. Bill said that while Jesus calls us to labor with Him in Continue reading

The Smoke of Their Torment Forever
And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with Continue reading

Calling Down Fire From Heaven on Sinners?

Don Knowlton’s Beautiful Feet
More than once when I was in college, I received a check from a friend of my parents named Wally Qualley. Yep, that was his name. I don’t remember anything about this man who sent me at least a couple of checks for about $500 each, except that I had a sense he was wealthy, and Continue reading

The Testimony: One of the Best Ways to Fish for Men
When I worked for Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Chicagoland and the Washington D.C. area during the late 80’s and early 90’s, occasionally I would find myself one on one with a co-worker for a longer period of time. Maybe it was just a lunch hour and two of us made plans to grab a Chicago style Continue reading
