J U L Y 9 “… One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.” — John 9:25

Beer Into Carpets

In nineteenth-century England, a nonbeliever once taunted a Christian who was a converted drunkard. The nonbeliever sneered, “Surely you don’t believe those Bible miracles, such as Christ turning water into wine.” The ex-drunkard replied, “If you think that’s a miracle, come to my home, and I’ll show you how Christ changed beer into carpets, chairs, and even a piano!” Christ had come to dwell in the...

J U L Y 8 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

The God Of All Comfort

Have you ever gone through a terrible trial, yet through it all felt completely surrounded by God’s love? God is the God of all comfort, and when we struggle, He comforts us by His presence, His power, and His Word. Here are some of God’s words that might comfort your heart in times of great difficulty: When people persecute you: “Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven” (Matthew 5:12)....

J U L Y 7 “The God of Israel said … ‘He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.’” — 2 Samuel 23:3

Legislating Morality

Have you ever heard the statement “Christians shouldn’t impose their morality on the rest of us”? Many seem to feel this way, opposing any kind of law or ordinance that might support Christianity. I was in the Senate many years ago when someone introduced legislation designed to protect the integrity of the family. The author of the bill had based each of the various articles on some moral view of what the family should be.... More

J U L Y 6 “And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church.” — Ephesians 1:22

The Christian View Of Politics

Have you ever wondered if you should always obey the laws of our government? This is an important question because the government influences almost every aspect of our lives. To help us answer this question, the Bible delineates a few principles. Principle number one: The Triune God is sovereign over the whole universe. He is sovereign over every area of life, not just the Church. This includes the government. Principle number two:... More

J U L Y 5 “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.” — Romans 13:1-5

Government: A Fearful Master

Do you ever listen to the news and find it hard to believe that God has ordained all governments? Whatever our opinions about governments around the world, the Bible tells us that God has appointed all governing authorities and we must submit to them. The Bible teaches three truths about government that our founding fathers clearly understood, but which today have been blurred and obscured. If we understand these truths, we will place... More

J U L Y 4 “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” — Psalm 11:3

America: A Christian Nation

Do you ever wonder about the direction in which the United States is heading, worried that the fabric of our society is fraying around the edges? If you’re like me, you may read the newspaper headlines and shake your head in dismay at the choices our fellow citizens make. Our country wasn’t always this way. Take an honest inventory of our history, and you can have no doubts that America began as a Christian nation. The early... More

J U L Y 3 “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord …” — Psalm 33:12

Blessed Is The Nation

This time of year is always a perfect time to dwell on the founding of our nation. Did you know that God’s providence played an enormous part in the settling and founding of this country? George Washington alluded to God’s providence many times as he recounted our nation’s development. Let’s look at just one stunning example, forgotten by many today. In the first year of the Revolutionary War, America almost lost the... More
