Naaman was the greatest military leader in the land of Syria (2 Kings 5:1). But he had incurable leprosy. A little slave girl told Mrs. Naaman about a prophet in her country Israel who could cure him, so she told her husband. Naaman took many rich gifts and started south about 8 days journey to
An experienced commercial pilot explained to a young pilot the reason smaller planes crash more frequently than big airliners. His answer: inexperienced pilots refuse to believe their instruments in a storm. Feelings cannot be trusted. Do you attempt to guide your life by feelings and opinions? In your worship, in doctrine? “There is a way
While imprisoned for nearly 20 years, Napoleon (1769-1821) carefully studied the life of Jesus Christ and concluded: “I know men, and I tell you that Jesus is not a man. Everything in Him amazes me.

Why did these heathen people give a tenth to their gods? Where did this law begin which went to all parts of the world? Only one reasonable
Jesus preached the “Sermon On The Mount” (Mt 5,6 & 7). But what does the Bible say about THE AMOUNT of money I should give to Him? What sum of money am I to “set aside” to contribute “on the first day of the week?” (I Cor 16:1-2; 2 Cor 9:6-7). This verse commands Christians
