Patience, you tell yourself. You were just cut off on the freeway by another driver, and you missed your turn. Your first urge was to blast your horn at him or call him some name. He was speeding anyway. Why couldn't he have just eased into the lane behind you? But then you catch yourself, an ...

"Idea Man" for a National Magazine: MY WIFE was reflecting on what might have happened to us. "What if we had never met," she mused.

Human Nature - and How a Whole World Is Deceived About its Origin. I once overheard someone say: "Just look at that beautiful, sweet little baby-and to think it's filled with all that evil, despicable human nature!" But was it? Think of this paradox! How can it be explained? The human mi ...

KING SAUL TO THE RESCUE! A DRAWING of lots before a large throng of people at Mizpeh disclosed that Saul, a Benjamite, was to become the first king of Israel. The people loudly demanded to see the man, but he couldn't be found. (I Samuel 10:17-21.) A Bashful King. The continued boisterous demands ...

The Birthright, once we received it, was stupendous, awesome! - unequalled among nations or empires! But what have our peoples done with that awesome blessing? They were still Israelites, even though they themselves knew it not! They were still rebellious, "stiff-necked," stubborn! Once th ...

We came to the subject of angels. Do angels exist, or are they just a myth or a superstition if they exist? Where did they come from? What are they? Why are they? What is their function? What are they like? When did they start? What do you know about angels anyway? And now we have come in this study ...

WHAT is the Bible? Does it have a purpose? Can it be proved that the Bible is an inspired revelation from God for man? How can you be sure?
