During the Exodus, Moses and the children of Israel escaped the slavery of the Egyptians. As they traveled toward the Promised Land, they witnessed a lot of miraculous things.

God parted the waters of the Red Sea and the Egyptian army was wiped out.
God guided them with a cloud by day and a pillar of fire [...]

I’ve just started reading a book by Bob Buford, called Halftime. Here are some introductory remarks:
 
The subject of death is never a fun one, but I wanted to ask a probing question. When it’s your time, and you’ve left this life, what would you want on your tombstone? What would you select as your [...]

In Mark 5, we are told a story about a man living among the tombs, with an unclean spirit (Mark 5:2). He was a danger to himself and others, no one could bind him (Mark 5:3). No one was able to subdue him or bring him under control (Mark 5:4). He was day and night [...]

There is a problem when men use “guy-to-guy” communication on [...]

Take a look at 2 Timothy 2:24. Basically we are refrain from quarreling, and be kind to people. Sometimes it’s hard to do that! But in reality, who said the Christian life was easy? What about living this out in your marriage?
 
Quarreling in a marriage can become a problem; I’m not just talking about disagreements. [...]

I recently read a story about Ken…

I recently read about Tim Stafford’s advice to hurting parents, regarding a son’s irresponsibility toward himself and his behavior. He mentions “Three Rules of Life” that I find very positive:
