DOES EVERYTHING HAPPEN FOR A REASON?
R. J. Evans)

Based on how often we hear the expression "Everything happens for a reason," you would think the answer to our title would be a definite "yes". Some time back, while watching a professional football player on TV being interviewed, and in commenting on his team's loss, he remarked, "I know everything happens for a reason." And I can think of many other examples and situations in which this statement is used even by members of the Lord's church.

Three Songs and a Prayer

Today’s popular rebellion against “the establishment” has spawned both

good and bad elements. As might be expected, there are some who are

genuinely concerned that cold formalism and traditional bindings give way

to sincere, spontaneous worship of the true God. And there are those who

use current discussions to promote childish emotions and clap-trap

schemes to “improve the worship” – schemes as much or more mechanical

PREDISPOSITION
(Garren Stroud)

I was watching a science show the other night investigating what made criminals, criminals. The researcher began by doing C.A.T. scan on many prisoners who were serial killers. The scan showed an almost exact match on areas of the brain thought to be where compassion and love came from, and found these areas to be shut-down in every subject studied.

The apostle Paul wrote, “Whatever was written in earlier times was written

for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of

the Scriptures, we might have hope.” - Rom 15:4

Let’s go back and look at the story written in Joshua chapters 6 - 8. At the

beginning of the conquest of Canaan, God gave Jericho to Joshua and the

Israelites in an amazing manner. To…

AS DEATH NEARS
(By Joe R. Price)

 

Hospice care is designed to ease physical pain and suffering as death nears. It is a helpful service that offers dignity, palliative care, and comfort to the person approaching death, as well as their families.

Surprisingly, many people will not even talk about death, their own, or that of a loved one. Of course, that does not slow death's approach or prevent its arrival. Perhaps they convince themselves that by not thinking and talking about death they can avoid its encroachment. Or perhaps…
