The story goes that the devil decided to retire (now, wouldn't that be great news!), and he had a “Going Out Of Business Sale.” All of the tools of his trade were openly displayed and priced on row after row of tables. One tool, however, was set off to itself under a glass case. It was more worn than most of the other tools, and it was considerably more expensive. A small labeling card was set in front of it with one word printed thereon- DISCOURAGEMENT

By Steve Klein Children are natural imitators, not only of their parents, but also of each other. Paul alludes to this inborn mimicry when he commands us to "be imitators of God as dear children." (Ephesians 5:1). So, children are "imitators." We know this. But we get so focused on "peer pressure" as a negative thing that we forget that young people can and should influence one another to do good.

By Doy Moyer Christians are part of a kingdom that is not of this world and is eternal. This kingdom rises above and outlasts all earthly powers. Christians have a citizenship that is heavenly, far greater and more permanent than any earthly citizenship. They are not to be conformed to this world, nor are they to employ carnal tactics in dealing with this world.
