Head-dibs

Didja hear the one about the man who came upon a skunk with its' head stuck in a small fruit jar? It was evident that the skunk would smother and die if the jar was not removed, but every attempt to remove the jar was met by the skunk raising his tail in defense. The skunk was unaware that he was not only in a dangerous situation, but that the man was trying to help him. God offers salvation to the sinner who is smothering, dying in the guilt of his own sins. Only when he trusts Lord Jesus Christ, who through his death, burial and resurrection paid the penalty for sin, will he be free from the power of sin! God in Christ Jesus alone can remove the "jar" called sin whose reward is death.

Once when takling about man's nature, Watchman Nee remarked, "we have all sinned in Adam." A man who was listening exclaimed he did not understand what this meant. Nee explained, "If you great-grandfather had died at the age of three, where would you be? You would have died in him! Your experience is bound up with his! And just in the same way your experience is bound up with that of Adam's."

Anyone who has witnessed the felling of a tall tree is left with the definitive feeling of sadness. As the saw rips through the heart of the giant, it begins to sag down on the side where the wound is gaping. The tree begins to lean away from the cutters, but they continue their work--just a moment longer. Then come the sounds: the crack, crack, cracking of the wood fibers in front of the saw teeth. Another pass of the saw, and the popping noise increases! Those sounds! More rapid, then a continuous roar! If you were standing nearby you suddenly realize that everything above is coming to earth. The great mass starts to topple, the popping and crackling and exploding sounds burst from the base until with a fearful momentum, the whole tree comes sprawling down. Sometimes, we see a man come down like that. He had stood out, so apparently strong before the entire world, but the sappers were at his heart. The supports were cut from under him until he came crashing down to the ground.

Faultfinding has got to be the easiest job in the world. It requires no talent, no character, and no brains.

A farmer asked his neighbor if he might borrow a rope. "Sorry," said the neighbor, "I'm using my rope to tie up my milk." "Rope can't tie up milk!" replied the surprised farmer. "I know," said the neighbor, "but when a man doesn't want to do something, one reason is as good as another."

Whether you call it nationalizing an industry or corporate fascism, the result is the same-the death of freedom and private property rights.

One of our children had taken a keen interest in meteorology and at one point, was very careful to spend an exceptional amount of time each day watching the Weather Channel. A recent conversation touched down on the subject of tornadoes and warning systems, in which our brilliant child made the point that if a quick escape from the house were necessary, an extra pair of underwear would be the most important item to take along. One of our other children quickly demanded to know the reason for the choice, to which came the reply, "because if a tornado were to come close enough for me to leave, I would need to change my pants." About three years ago or so, we did have to leave our house under threat of a tornado. Since we were living in a mobile home, we felt that was the best choice. Years before while living in another state, a tornado touched down about a mile behind us and we saw first-hand what happens to homes and trees. When we were under the threat again, we did not...

"Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frighted and terrified at the sight of it. There must be some kind of an earthquake within us, something that must rend and shake us to the bottom, before we can be enough sensible either of the state of death we are in or enough desirous of that Savior who alone can raise us from it." (William Law, 1686-1761)

Dr. Warren Larson , the director of the Zwemer Center for Muslim Studies at Columbia International University is often sought out by the media for a biblical view on Muslim-Christian relations. As Americans commemorate the anniversary of the 9-11 attack on the United States, Larson recorded an interview with the nationally broadcast radio show "Prime Time America" on the Moody Radio Network. In the interview, Larson is asked how Muslims view 9-11, and how Christians should be responding to them. You can hear Larson's comments on the Sept. 11th broadcast of "Prime Time America," beginning at 4:00 p.m. Central Time. Log on to listen .

Adoniron Judson is the source of the following quote. I would like to hear your thoughts about what he said. "It is a mistake to suppose that a dull and second-rate man is enough for the heathen. The worst-off need the very best we have. God gave His best, even His only begotten Son, in order to redeerm a lost world. The most darkened and degraded souls need the best thinking."

O AMOR DE DEUS " Pois Deus tanto amou o mundo que deu o seu Filho unigênito para que todo o que nele crer não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna." (João 3:16) O PLANO DE DEUS Cristo afirma: "Eu vim para que tenham vida, e a tenham plenamente" (uma vida abundante e com propósito). (João 10:10) Por que a maioria das pessoas não está experimentando essa " vida abundante "?

"Surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of man he is. If there are rats in a cellar you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly. But the suddenness does not create the rats: it only prevents them from hiding. In the same way the suddenness of the provocation does not make me ill-tempered, it ony shows me what an ill-tempered man I am." (C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity)

"With the discovery of the atom, everything changed, except for man's thinking. Because of this, we drift toward unparalleled catastophe." "The true problem lies in the hearts and thoughts of men. It is not a physical but an ethical one . . . . What terrifies us is not the explosive force of the atomic bomb, but the power of the wickedness of the human heart." (Albert Einstein, 1879 - 1955)

A tightwad went shopping to find an inexpensive gift for a friend. In one shop, he spotted a vase which had been broken. He bought the broken vase (next to nothing in price) and asked the store to send it to his friend, who would assume the vase had been broken in transit. A few days later, a note arrived from the friend. "Many thanks for the vase," the note read, "and it was so thoughtful of you to wrap each piece separately!" Numbers 32:23 "you may be sure that your sin will find you out."

Two gripping thoughts on Hypocrisy by G.K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936): "LET it never be forgotten that a hypocrite is a very unhappy man; he is a man who has devoted himself to a most delicate and arduous intellectual art in which he may achieve masterpieces which he must keep secret, fight thrilling battles and win hair-breadth victories for which he cannot have a whisper of praise. A really accomplished impostor is the most wretched of geniuses: he is a Napoleon on a desert island." ("Browning.") "We ought to see far enough into a hypocrite to see even his sincerity. We ought to be interested in that darkest and most real part of a manin which dwell not the vices that he does not display, but the virtuesthat he cannot. And the more we approach the problems of human history with this keen and piercing charity, the smaller and smaller space we shall allow to pure hypocrisy of any kind. The hypocrites shall not deceive us into thinking them saints; but neithe...

When Howard Carter and his associates found the tomb of King Tutenkhamen, they opened up his casket and found another within it. They opened up the second, which was covered with gold leaf, and found a third. Inside the third casket was a fourth made of pure gold. The pharoahs body was in the fourth, wrapped in gold cloth with a gold face mask. But when the body was unwrapped, it was leathery and shriveled.
