God created us so we could live a life that pleases Him. The life of man relates to God because “…in Him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28). This responsibility is not a difficult one. If we’ll just live for God, who knows what marvelous things might happen in our life?…

Can Silver and Gold Satisfy the Human Heart?
Those who love having an abundance will never be satisfied by obtaining it. “He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase: this also is vanity…” (Ecclesiastes 5:10). Silver and gold can’t satisfy all the desires of our physical body. If we love silver and gold, we’ll…
The Way to God
Which road of life are you traveling on today? Your life’s journey will end one day, and then you will go into eternity. Is the road you currently are on the right road that God set out for you? Or is it that other, broad road mentioned in the Bible—the one that appears so deceptively…
More Than Food and Clothing
“Take no thought for your life,what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink;nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.Is not the life more than meat [food],and the body than raiment [clothing]?…If God so clothe the grass of the field…shall He not much more clothe you?” Matthew 6:25,30 Since Jesus said, “Take…
Absolute Emptiness No One Talks Of
We all know the old saying that “money can’t buy happiness.” Although a few may find some happiness through money, no amount of money in the world can buy or bring anyone complete satisfaction. Ask King Solomon—in his time he was (and would still be considered) the richest person in the world. Some have calculated…
The Peace of God
Many people feel that they have some form of peace in their lives. But what most are experiencing is merely peace with their own conscience. This is not the peace of God. Some think that when their anxiety level eases up, they have found peace. And others have what they call peace just because they…
Coveting or Content?
Versus “Let your conversation [lifestyle] be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for [Jesus] hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5 Paul appeals urgently here to Christians to be content with what they have. Since we are still traveling through this world, we are still…
Are Pieces Missing Unknowingly in Your Life?
Have you ever felt like your life is one big puzzle—like you were born as a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle—and each year, thousands more pieces have been added, but now with some pieces missing? Even though your parents might have assembled some of this puzzle for you as you were growing up, does it seem like…
I Love Bread
I love bread—whether it is toasted or untoasted, broiled or grilled, or freshly baked (my favorite)—I’ll eat it! It could be white bread (but not the cheap, factory-baked kind), rye, pumpernickel, sourdough, focaccia, naan, boule, rice, or even potato bread. But I have never had a fondness for almost all kinds of whole wheat bread….
