  Let God Cover It

  When Moses saw one of his fellow Hebrews being beaten by an Egyptian, the Bible tells us that "he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand" (Exodus 2:12). The problem with sand, especially in Egypt, is the wind blows around. Moses should have looked up instead of to the right and to the left.

  What Follows Blessing

  After God told Adam that he could eat from every tree in the Garden of Eden except one—the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil—it seems that it wasn't too long until Satan appeared and brought his temptation with him.

  The Way We Were

  I have been amazed at the testimonies of some people, when they tell me the way they used to be.

  Walking Together

  People who walk alongside me often will tell me that I walk really fast. And I do. This has always been a problem for my wife, but she doesn't actually walk that slowly. It is just that she doesn't walk as fast as I do. And then when you add heels to the equation, it makes it even worse.

  Heaven's Rewards

  I have a friend who has run a lot of triathlons and has even competed in some Ironman events. He has a lot of medals, and so I once dared him to go out in public wearing them. I said, "Put on all of your medals, and go walk around."

  Caught Up!

  In Scripture, we find a number of examples of people who were suddenly caught up into heaven.

  Kept in Heavenly Storage

  There are times when life just doesn't seem fair. Things happen that don't make sense, and we wonder why God didn't answer our prayer.

  What Does It Really Mean to Follow Jesus Christ?

  When Jesus was in Jerusalem during the Passover, John's Gospel tells us that many believed in His name after they saw the signs He did. But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because "He knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man" (John 2:24–25).

  The Divine Register

  The Bible clearly teaches that God has a book, which goes by a number of names. It is called the Book of Remembrance, which contains the names of those who fear the Lord and think on His name. Sometimes it is just called the Book. Other times, it is called the Book of Life, or the Lamb's Book of Life. And according to Revelation 20, one day at the Great White Throne judgment, the books will be opened, and the dead will be judged by the things written in the books. A book also will be opened, which is the Book of Life. And whoever is not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire.

  Catfish in your Tank?

  I heard a story about some fish suppliers who were having problems shipping codfish from the East Coast. By the time the fish reached the West Coast, they were spoiled. They froze them, but by the time the fish arrived, they were mushy. So the seafood company decided to send them alive. . .but the fish arrived dead. On their third try, they once more shipped the fish alive, but with one difference. They included a catfish in each tank. The catfish, you see, is the natural enemy of the codfish. By the time the codfish arrived, they were alive and well, because they had spent their trip fleeing the catfish.

  Three Objectives of the Church

  Have you ever seen a movie set? It is never the way it appears onscreen. Everything seems smaller and more fake. That beautiful, three-story building you see on the screen may just be a painted façade, propped up by pieces of wood. It is never as impressive as it appears.

  When Tolerance Isn't Good

  Tolerance. Isn't that the watchword of the day? You can be anything but intolerant. This may come as a surprise to a nonbeliever, but all the strong Christians that I know are very tolerant.

  How a Church Dies

  Ruth Graham once said, "The definition of a bore is someone who, when asked how they are feeling, will actually tell you."

  Resisting Temptation

  In many—if not most—cases, temptation enters through the doorway of our minds. When Satan wanted to lead the first man and woman into sin, he started by attacking the woman's mind. That is why Paul warned the Corinthian believers, "But I fear that somehow you will be led away from your pure and simple devotion to Christ, just as Eve was deceived by the serpent" (2 Corinthians 11:3 NLT).
