I have recently been reading through the Gospel of John. It’s taking me longer than I imagined because I keep finding little “nuggets” of new truths. But when I got to John 5:2-8, something I had never considered was brought to my attention. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. In these lay a multitude of invalids – blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

If you travel north on Interstate 29 near Rock Port, Missouri, you may notice the remnants of an old farm place. There are gray wooden structures, a pair of grain silos, a rusty flatbed truck, and several trees. Nothing is unusual, except for that one tree. The tree stands out, not because of its beauty, but because of its location. Strangely, the tree lives inside one of the silos. Over time, the tree has grown to an elevation several feet above the rim of the silo.

Beep, beep, beep!Most mornings, the familiar sound of my husband’s alarm clock starts our days off bright and early. He doesn’t typically get up following that first alarm sound. Instead, he sets multiple clocks to ensure he is awake and then keeps hitting snooze. One morning, our then-3-month-old wasn’t too fond of the first blaring morning siren that woke him up. “Ahh!” he yelled loudly as the alarm rang through our bedroom. Following his scream, the two of us couldn’t help but giggle.

God’s heart is with you as you seek to encourage your children to follow God—for their sake’s and for His glory! One of the first questions that might be wise to ask is how much your children can see what Jesus means to you. Sometimes people can care deeply about Jesus and live their lives for Him, but their children might only see certain parts of that. Others make church a priority but it can be hard to see that Jesus Himself is the priority. There are so many situations.

Before helping anyone else apply their mask, please, secure your own.”The odds are, if you’ve ever flown in a plane, you’ve heard this warning.

Whether it is in the community, business, or civil government, one thing that is sometimes hard to find is true Christian leadership—men and women of biblical character, serving and leading selflessly as they follow the example of Christ. Often the selfless nature of Christian leadership is the reason why it is a challenge to identify. Consequently, it is not unusual for Christian leaders to go unnoticed and unappreciated.

Having just celebrated Good Friday and Easter, Christians are reminded again of the terrible price Jesus paid, as the punishment for our sins was poured on Him. By His death and resurrection, He breaks the power of sin in our lives. He forgives us; but He also gives us His Holy Spirit within us, so we can live for Him. Jesus wasn’t just some great hero we should pattern our lives after – although that’s true too. He is above all the Redeemer of those who put their faith in Him.

DampRid offends conservative parents in one of its latest commercials. One Million Moms has received many complaints regarding the “Get Rid of the DAAAMP!” ad, which included insinuated profanity. In this ad, the company attempts to promote its product that eliminates excess moisture in the air and subsequent damp, musty odors. Unfortunately, the advertisement takes an inappropriate turn at the end of this commercial.
