M A R C H 2 0 “Lord, I believe . . .” — Mark 9:24

The Apostles’ Creed Today

“No creed but Christ” is what some people claim to believe today, and that may sound good. But they forget that “creed” simply means a statement of faith and that, therefore, developing one can be valuable in helping us define what we believe. One of the oldest and finest statements of faith is the Apostles’ Creed. Its roots go back to the early Church. Though not written by the apostles themselves, it carries... More

M A R C H 1 9 “. . . ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.” — Zechariah 4:6

True Strength

Some people have made the gym their second home. These people go to fanatical lengths to get their bodies in shape. I’m not devaluing caring for our bodies; in fact, I get my share of exercise. But some people make an idol of physical strength, cultivating beautiful bodies to glorify themselves. But which one of these persons do you think is better equipped to help others: a person who works out with weights all day, developing huge... More

M A R C H 1 8 “. . . and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” — Matthew 28:20

Practicing The Presence Of God

Do you know that God is with you right now as you read these words? Do you experience His presence in everything you do? In seventeenth-century France, a humble monk named Brother Lawrence wrote magnificent letters to a friend, letters now compiled in a little booklet entitled Practicing the Presence of God. Brother Lawrence had learned to practice God’s presence in everything he did. He found perfect peace and tranquility in focusing... More

M A R C H 1 7 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” — Philippians 1:21

St. Patrick

St. Patrick, “the patron saint of Ireland,” has captured the fancy of millions of people through the ages. Even those who haven’t a clue what the man really stood for pay him tribute on this day by marching in parades and wearing green. Some people even get drunk to celebrate the occasion, but these people dishonor the memory of that great man who first brought Christianity to Ireland. Patrick, who was actually born in... More

M A R C H 1 6 “. . . If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” — John 7:37

David Brainerd

Have you ever felt intensely thirsty, so thirsty you thought you could drink a river dry? That’s the same kind of thirst we should cultivate for God. We have a great example of someone who had such a thirst: David Brainerd, an eighteenth-century missionary to American Indians. As a young lad, Brainerd’s soul was parched; he thirsted for the living God. He abandoned all of his sinful ways to pursue a religious life. He prayed,... More

M A R C H 1 5 “The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.” — 1 Corinthians 15:26

The Last Enemy

Did you ever have an appointment you dreaded so much that you tried to get out of it any way you could? Many people seem to face death with a similar dread but never admit it to themselves. In fact, many avoid thinking of death at all costs. The Bible says that Satan has kept the whole world in bondage throughout its history through the fear of death. Just look at the pagan cultures of the world, and you’ll see a pervasive, desperate... More

M A R C H 1 4 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.’” — save that which was lost.’”

Spiritual Snobbery

Do people at your church welcome strangers with open arms or spurn them with turned backs? It is tragic that many churches today display “spiritual snobbery,” rejecting those of questionable reputation or faith. And this is so wrong. This attitude prevailed even in Biblical times. In fact, Jesus featured it in one of his parables. In Christ’s parable of the Prodigal Son, the older brother displayed a smug attitude toward... More
