Echoes

Richard Franz

Tiny little bats can hear far better than humans, and their survival depends on their unique abilities. But mankind’s future depends on “hearing” a truth far beyond the understanding of any beast, through a power that comes from God alone.

Be Prudent

Roger Meyer

We don’t hear the word prudence much these days. Perhaps that’s because it is lacking in society. Are you prudent?

Search the Internet for the phrase “what happened to the quality of prudence in everyday life,” and you will get results saying that prudence is the most underrated virtue—or that it is no longer even considered a virtue.

Following the Crowd

Richard Franz

Growing up, we may have let peer pressure get us involved in something without thinking it through fully. When our moms found out, they would ask, “If everyone was going to jump off the bridge, would you go jump, too?” Mom was sincerely looking out for our well-being. She said this to make us think, Why am I about to do this thing everyone else is doing? But how much of society still follows the crowd every year?

Does God Welcome Us on Our Own Terms?

J. Davy Crockett III

There was a large crowd gathered at the funeral home, including politically prominent men and women, professionals, and working-class folks, to pay their respects. The deceased had been a successful lawyer for decades, even serving in the state legislature, before becoming a circuit judge, where he served with distinction for many years. But time is relentless, and the judge died “in a good old age, full of days” (1 Chronicles 29:28).

Complaining Won’t Stop the Rain

Richard Franz

“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” was a hit song originally written for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, an American western film starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman. The song promoted the value of looking at the bright side even in the face of endless slights and struggles:

But there’s one thing I know:

The blues they send to meet me

Won’t defeat me; it won’t be long

Till happiness steps up to greet me.

Raindrops keep falling on my head

But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red;

“Bleep Bleep” Language!

Roger Meyer

Have you noticed a proliferation of swearing? Political candidates and elected officials are “dropping F-bombs” (obscenities) increasingly without fear of public disapproval. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has regulations prohibiting obscenity and profanity on TV and radio, but the broadcast moderators today must be busier than ever “bleeping” out the cursing. What does the Bible have to say about profanity?

Carrots, Eggs, or Coffee?

Richard Franz

A young woman once went to her grandmother and told her about the difficulties of her life and the hardships she was facing. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling—whenever one problem was solved, a new one seemed to pop up.

Avoid the Consequences of Falling

J. Davy Crockett III

Recently, there have been news accounts of several high-profile figures who have been seriously injured by falling while doing routine tasks around their home or workplace. In a moment of distraction or carelessness, debilitating and life-changing consequences can occur when one falls. On a personal note, while recently completing a simple little project at my home, I tripped over what I had been working on and took a tumble, resulting in a serious sprain of my left hand and wrist from which it took weeks to fully recover.

“Come With Me if You Want to Live”

Roger Meyer

“Come with me if you want to live” is a famous line from the sci-fi movie The Terminator and its sequels, repeated by various characters. It has become a catchphrase and trope in stories about trust and rescue from danger or death.

While not everyone is a fan of sci-fi movies, the phrase or its general meaning has been used in many other stories and movies where a hero rescues someone from peril to save their life. Often the rescuer is unknown to the one being rescued, who must decide whether to trust their unlooked-for “savior.”

Protect Your Family from High-Tech Trickery

Richard Franz

Mankind’s history is littered with stories and accounts of people betraying or attempting to hoodwink their fellow man. Biblical accounts include Cain’s murder of his younger brother Abel, Jacob’s trickery of his elder brother Esau, Delilah’s attempts to undermine the mighty Samson, and the betrayal of Jesus Christ by His disciple Judas. And in many cultures around the world, stories of trickeries both failed and successful fill entire anthologies.

Why National Debt?

Roger Meyer

A 2011 Tomorrow’s World commentary, “Slaves to Debt,” reported that the United States was approaching $14 trillion in debt. Now, fourteen years later, that indebtedness has grown 160%. According to the U.S. National Debt Clock, U.S. debt is over $38 trillion. But why is the national debt so high? While the obvious answer is that America spends more than it takes in as tax revenues, there is another, far more dire reason.

“It’s Right There in Front of You!”

Roger Meyer

I’ve always been amazed by the sense of sight—how the eye works, sending electrical signals to the visual cortex, which turns that information into a “real time” image. God built in great processing speed so we don’t have to wait for an image to be rendered. The visual cortex merges the image from both eyes and provides a gauge of spatial separation, of dimension and a sense of distance. Incredible!

The Consequences of an Unfinished House

J. Davy Crockett III

I often drive through an established residential neighborhood to avoid a highway frequently choked with traffic. It is a more pleasant way to get to my destination. Some time ago, as I made my way through the neighborhood, I noticed a vacant lot being cleared for a new dwelling to be built. I didn’t know then, but this somewhat common scene would prove a poignant spiritual reminder.

Destroyed—by a KNOWLEDGE Explosion?

Many have heard about the so-called “doubling accumulation” of human knowledge. Some think this rapid acceleration will catapult human civilization beyond the stratosphere, while others are concerned that mankind’s growing capabilities will result in uncontrollable consequences—including global catastrophe.

Are You Like a Thessalonian or a Berean?

Roger Meyer

Is what you believe supported by the Bible? Have you studied the Bible to see what it teaches? Does the Bible say what you think it says? Comparing the case of two cities evangelized by the Apostle Paul illustrates the importance of exercising diligence to prove what the Bible says.

Thessalonica and Berea are two of the cities in which Paul preached and established congregations of early Christians. They responded very differently to Paul’s words.

LGBTQ+ Culture In the Bible

J. Davy Crockett III

Each October, the “queer” community observes “LGBTQ History Month” by remembering milestones important to their demands for widespread acceptance of deviant sexual behavior. As legal standing has been achieved, sexual practices that were once considered taboo in organized society are now flaunted in parades, publications, and the public marketplace. Society’s attitude has become “if it feels good, do it,” regardless of the impact on our health—physical or spiritual.
