M A R C H 9 “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” — Matthew 16:26

Living With Purpose

Tragically, the false view that human beings are just the products of time and chance, and that ultimately purpose is just a mirage, dominates most of our schools today. It is not surprising when people spend the first quarter of their lives in school learning that sort of nonsense, so they have very little defined purposes for their lives. This is supported by some psychologists, such as the late B. F. Skinner, who would say that we are... More

M A R C H 8 “For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God…” — 1 Peter 3:18

On the Law of Karma

There are religions, like Hinduism, whose followers talk about “karma.” The Hindus believe that salvation is wrought through karma; that all one has to do is reflect up to the gods, and the gods reflect it back to us and we get what we deserve—tit for tat, quid pro quo, something for something. But that does not wash since every one of us is a sinner. If everything we have ever said, thought, or done that is wrong... More

M A R C H 7 “For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” — Mark 10:45

Christ Frees Us from Selfishness

Instinctively, we know we should not be selfish. There is a problem, however, in doing that. Think about others? Forget yourself? If people are basically selfcentered, how can they do that? There is only one answer to that question, my friends. When we receive Christ into our lives and hearts, we die to self; we are crucified with Christ and we find the God who provides all of our needs. The reason people can’t forget themselves is... More

M A R C H 6 “Let each of you look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” — Philippians 2:4

The Secret Rockefeller Learned

Did you ever hear of the great lesson learned by John D. Rockefeller, Sr., founder of the Rockefeller dynasty? By the time he was 33, he had become a millionaire. By the age of 53, he had become the world’s first billionaire. He was the richest man in all the world. But Drs. S. E. McMillan and David E. Stern, in their book None of These Diseases, say that Rockefeller had traded his happiness and his health for his wealth. Rockefeller... More

M A R C H 5 “For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state.” — Philippians 2:20

Think About Others

If you really want to stand out, think about others instead of just yourself. Most people do the opposite. Years ago, a telephone company made a detailed study of telephone conversations to find out which word is the most frequently used. It is the same word that is most used in daily conversations. It is the word “I.” It was used 3,990 times in 500 telephone conversations. “I.” “I.” “I.”... More

M A R C H 4 “A man who has friends must show himself friendly.” — Proverbs 18:24

Making Friends

Some people may wonder why they have so few friends. But the Bible says to have friends, you must be a friend. Dale Carnegie in his famous book How To Win Friends and Influence People said this: “Why should people be interested in you unless you are first interested in them?” A well-known maxim puts it this way: I went out to find a friend, but could not find one there. I went out to be a friend, and friends were everywhere.... More

M A R C H 3 “Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.” — Philippians 4:8

We Reflect What We Are

The author William Thackeray once said: “The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face.” Some people never learn that lesson. They are miserable, and their life is a failure because they never learned that simple truth. I know individuals who have been through one job after another, after another, after another. Why? Because of “those folks over there,” that’s why.... More
