Tebow: Praying Like Tebow
Tim Tebow has gotten much attention for his prayers on the football field. Some conclude he is doing this to be seen of men? Of course Christ forbids such posturing. I see Tebow’s actions differently. In Matthew 6:1 and following Jesus was warning against the hypocritical posturing of the Pharisees, the religious leaders of the Jewish people. All that they did religiously seems to have been a pretense. Later in Matthew... (posted by John 2 days ago.)

A Tale of Twin Brothers
Jerry and Jim were born to Bill and Sallie Jones. They were healthy babes and were blest with good parents and a comfortable home. Their parents were conscientious and did their best to provide their sons the kind of moral and spiritual training that would prepare them for a successful life. Both boys were of average intelligence. In their first few years of school they performed as you would expect twins to do. By the time the... (posted by John 20 days 23 hours ago.)

Newt Gingrich, the Attacks On
It seems that many Republicans have forgotten that the upcoming election will pit their choice against Barack Obama. Republican candidates are all running against Newt Gingrich. Along with members of the Republican elite, they are doing their best to destroy him. Strangely, polls show the voting public is impressed with the man. One cannot help but wonder why they treat him as they do? * Are they envious of his... (posted by John 55 days 21 hours ago.)

The Day Christopher Hitchens Met His Maker
Over the last score of years Americans have been exposed to the virulent anti-Christian writings and televised interviews of Christopher Hitchens, archenemy of Jehovah. On December 16, 2011, Mr. Hitchens breathed his last breath. He died of esophageal cancer. When diagnosed with cancer, he "insisted he had not revised his position on atheism." The Wall Street Journal described Hitchens as "an old-fashioned... (posted by John 55 days 21 hours ago.)

My Earliest Christmas Memories
My earliest recollection of Christmas was in my fourth year. It was 1942 and the Great War was raging. My parents were young and living on a meager salary but they wanted their firstborn to have a wonderful Christmas. I cannot be sure, but on one of my early Christmas Days we had snow. That is a rare treat in the Southland. I remember looking out the window as the fluffy flakes wafted down and covered the ground. We lived... (posted by John 58 days 18 hours ago.)

My First Job: An Interior Decorating Disaster
My mother’s father was a painting contractor. He painted homes and offices for a living. His sons worked with him and occasionally other members of the family were employed. It was natural that as a child I aspired to be a painter. My first job away from home was in my twelfth year. A Mr. Beckham operated a small grocery store in our neighborhood. Three of us boys were employed. Since Mr. Beckham... (posted by John 76 days 23 hours ago.)
