This year, we were very thankful for the harvest of berries that we received. Every year we plant a small vegetable garden, and we do our best, but struggle with a late arriving and early ending summer. Our fruit trees, planted several years ago, have yielded almost no fruit. This year, though, our berries were different. They have finally gotten …
Nothing could be more applicable today than Jesus’ words of nearly two thousand years ago. “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:37, 38. There is a great work to do, and Jesus does not just ask us, but …
Are you not so glad that God has a plan for your life? Sometimes life seems like a jumbled confusion of events, circumstances and happenstances, but through it all God has a purpose and is bringing about His ultimate plan for our salvation and the salvation of others. When perplexed and tempted to discouragement over life’s disappointments and trials, how …
I am so thankful for the precious promises of victory in Christ that are ours. “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” 1 Cor. 15:57; Rom. 8:37. There is no need to be defeated and beaten down—victory …
Once again I am battling jet lag, having recently returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo, but as I think of how the Lord has been working in the unreached fields of the Congo, I am happy to take a few days to get my days and nights aligned better.

By faith we know that the time is coming when the earth will be “lightened with his glory” and that “Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.” (Rev. 18:1; Isa. 60:3) How we look forward with joy to this time, but is there an experience that God is calling us into before He …
As I have been studying recently the great blessing that God has given to us in the ministry of the heavenly angels, I have realized that we do not fully appreciate their earnest warfare for us. “We need to understand better than we do the mission of the angels. It would be well to remember that every true child of …
The worship wars in society are nothing new. War over worship predates even the creation of this earth, when the awful mystery of iniquity began to creep into the heart of Lucifer as he coveted the homage and worship given to Christ. Since that dreadful entrance of sin, worship has been a center stage battle in the great controversy, so …
I am always so thankful when spring arrives, when the fresh, living green begins to break forth, when the flowers begin to bloom, when the songs of the birds fill the air—all reminding us of the new life breaking forth from the earth and the new life that the Lord wants to give to each of us. Not only does …
I am so thankful to the Lord for the many blessings that He continually showers upon us every morning. One of the greatest blessings that God has given to us, as His people, is the prophetic gift.
