God Sees Right through Me

by Jacob Hudgins

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, ‘Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!’ Nathanael said to him, ‘How do you know me?’ Jesus answered him, ‘Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you’”(John 1:47).

I love this little story. On sight Jesus knows Nathanael, and knows him thoroughly. He knows there is no deceit in him—a description that Nathanael finds so fitting that he immediately asks Jesus how he knows this! Then Jesus astounds him further,…

When a fellow Christian offered his assessment that, ‘We’re not doing enough,’ I was upset and offended. My immediate reaction was negative and defensive.

Eight days ago Lindy McDaniel left his earthly tabernacle and went home to be with the Lord. If you were not a baseball fan in the 50s & 60s you have probably never heard of Lindy McDaniel. Lindy was a “bonus baby” in an era of baseball when…

Well-ordered and systematic Bible teaching is a must for growing Christians and every family needs Bible instruction. No one doubts these congregational efforts CAN be a blessing to the church.

Or perhaps disaster struck as you were attending to do something kind. In Judges 8, it appears that Gideon tried to do a good thing but the result was tragic. Impressed by the conquest of the Midianites, the men of Israel asked Gideon to be heir king. Fortunately, he refused (Judges 8:22,23). Judges 8:23, “But Gideon said to them ‘I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD…

Balance in life is one of the more difficult things to attain and maintain. The idea of balance is not to become overly consumed in any direction. In our lives there are multitude of responsibilities and activities that require our time and attention. The struggle we face is trying to decide what will we give our attention and time to and how…
