- Sin, the Christian, and The Field-Goal Principle - "Christians have an opposing force seeking to defeat them—an enemy who is happy to score spiritual field-goals (rather than touchdowns) by tempting them to sin in little ways, even if he cannot always score in big ways."

- Global Warming: The Great Understatement - "According to widely publicized scientific studies, the carbon emissions from cars, power plants, and factories are causing our planet to lose its protective layer of atmospheric ozone.

- A Tale of Two Cindys (A True Story Happening Right Now in a Church Like Yours) - "The sobering fact is, although both Cindys professed faith in Christ, only one of them was truly converted. That's not just my opinion, it's what we must say if we are to be honest with others and faithful to Scripture. Biblically, we have no basis for calling a person a Christian if he or she bears no characteristics of a Christian." - Read this article online - Download (USA) - A4 Download

- The Reluctant Mother: Amy Carmichael - "We can't always identify life-changing moments as they occur. When a little Indian girl named Preena crawled into Amy Carmichael's lap and called her "Amma" (or "mother" in Tamil) for the first time, neither of them could have known that this simple act would change both their lives forever, and the lives of hundreds of others."

- Cremation or Burial? "There is no sin in cremation, that is for sure. And there is no inability on God's part to raise a cremated body from the dead. But is cremation, a practice most often seen in Eastern religions, the best for the believer in Christ?"

- Losses of a Prayerless Christian - "Though God is sovereign over all things, He ordains the means of prayer. There are some things He will not do unless we pray, though He always does all He purposes (Psalm 135:6). The mystery does not change this truth: You do not have because you do not ask (James 4:2)."

- I Believe in the Resurrection "The resurrection of Jesus Christ has been called the central teaching of the Christian faith, the heart of the Gospel, the cornerstone of our theology, and the basis of our hope as believers. Perhaps that explains why the truth of the bodily resurrection of Christ has been under attack since the very day the tomb was discovered to be empty (Matthew 28:11-15)."

- Children, Obey Your Parents - "Children have become experts these days at stretching and re-interpreting the words of Ephesians 6:1. The result has been to redefine various forms of rebellion as obedience. Even worse, parents have all too often allowed it to happen."

- The Very Scary Hand "Suddenly, Belshazzar saw something so frightening that his knees knocked together, his legs became weak and all the color drained from his face. A hand (just a hand with no body attached) began to write on the wall opposite the lamp in the room where the feast was held. Wouldn't you be frightened to see such a thing?"

- What Does It Mean to Believe? "Sitting on the deck on a balmy evening, my daughter asked again for more clarity on the most important question she could pose: "Dad, what does it really mean to believe in Christ?" I commended her for that question, because it is not asked by most people in the world, nor is it examined closely enough by those who have some of the language of Christianity."

"Despite our best intentions, prayer request time and open discussion in a small group setting can be like an obstacle course. We want everyone to grow close and to talk freely about genuine issues in their lives, but while doing so, the group has to conquer hurdles of gossip, criticism and indiscreet speech"

- Bathing the Cat - "Believers are often much more like that cat than we care to admit. What I mean is this: God, being much wiser than us, knows that even though we are completely forgiven, we need a lot of cleaning up."

- What They Did Before TV - "It seems almost inconceivable to believe that there was life before television. As good as the medium is for some things, it is an instrument of death to conversation in most families. Add computers, a personal CD player, and speed-eating and we've successfully killed off the last remnants of conversation in most families. Frankly, most families have no meaningful conversation at all. Days and weeks pass, if not months and years, without the skimpiest morsel of a good conversation. When I think about this, I almost weep for the magnitude of the loss."

- Comfort for Christian Parents of Unconverted Children "All Christian parents wish that God would show us something to do that would secure our child's salvation, and then "we'll do it with all our might" because we love our child so much. Yet, God has not made salvation the effect of somebody else's faith; our son or daughter must come to Christ on his or her own."
