Stained Glass Windows

Stained Glass Windows

Pieces of shattered glass lay everywhere on the table, looking for all the world like a heap of rubbish, destined for the nearest trash can. They were jagged pieces, apparently cut and broken without thought or care, and the beauty of the colored glass seemed hopelessly marred and wasted. But, what looks like ruin and…

I Know

As Christians, we don’t have to guess, we can know Him, know that He is God. A little study of the phrase “I know” shows the confidence that we can have in Him who lives, who has all power, who is great, steadfast and who is our help and support in all times. Exodus 18:11…

Tortured for Christ

Richard Wurmbrand. I’d never heard the name, never heard his story until I received a free copy of his book, Tortured For Christ, one day probably 8 years ago. I knew about persecution.

Following

Marriage is worth waiting for. I understand it so much more clearly now than I did before, and each day I see how much I must learn, how unskilled I am in some areas, and how grateful I am for the chances I had to cultivate others. I treasure the advice of those who have…

Afraid of the Dark

I was never afraid of the dark growing up, though the sticker of the fireman on my window (a notice in case of fire that this was a room where children slept) did give me a start a time or two when the moon made it look like a shadowy shape that I couldn’t account…

The Giant Fear

Have you ever seen a giant, or perhaps you’ve heard it noised about the camp that “there be giants in the land”? Let me tell you, it is all too true. There are giants out there, and they will get you if you don’t watch out. I rather think that the giants I see might…
