Emmiline
Broadcast Date: October 18, 2026
It has been said that ‘man’s extremity is God’s opportunity.’ (David O. McKay)
Not long ago, on a brisk October morning, Emmeline, her sister MaryAnn, and her younger brother Nathan were in the family van, and on their way to school. As they rounded a corner, Emmeline was momentarily blinded by the rising sun. She had scarcely begun to…
Prodigal Son
Broadcast Date: October 18, 2026
Have you ever noticed in your personal discipleship how hard it is to change? If you’ve struggled with little habits, imagine how hard it is for someone to change who’s been trapped by a lifestyle for a long time. It’s hard. I know! I’ve often been asked, “What’s the most effective way to help someone who wants to change?” Maybe the…
Tooth Fairy
Broadcast Date: October 18, 2026
We have been commanded by our Father in Heaven to “…ask, and ye shall receive…” to make all our wants and wishes known to Him. (John 16:24) Still, there is a need for judgment and for wisdom in how we pray and what we pray for. May I illustrate?
Not long ago, I was traveling back from Wyoming, when my cell phone rang. I answered it, and…
Don't You See It?
Broadcast Date: October 18, 2026
I remember as a boy working on the ranch with my dad. It was a common thing in those days to see deer in the hills around our place. Dad seemed to have as uncanny knack for spotting those bucks from a long distance, even in heavy cover.
“Do you see him?” he’d say. “He’s standing right there near that tree.”
And I’d squint and I’d…
Pain
Broadcast Date: October 18, 2026
In Gethsemane, the Lord Jesus suffered pain of body and spirit in totality. It caused Him to sweat blood and shrink, but He saw it through. Then Judas, a friend, betrayed Him with a kiss.
Peter grabbed his sword – remember – and rushed to defend the Savior. But the Savior stopped him saying, “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my…
Last Week
Spend the Day with Him
Broadcast Date: October 11, 2026
We live in a frenetic world where sometimes it is easy to forget the things that matter most. Therefore this story is meant to be a gentle reminder.
Spencer was very ill, and yet could not afford to be; he didn’t have time. A series of heart attacks brought him down and confined him to his bed. He went from a fulfilling and worthwhile work to a boring monotonous…
Hans & Pete
Broadcast Date: October 11, 2026
Jacob de Jager once spoke of his native Holland, and the little coastal fishing village where he grew up. He tells the story of one night a severe storm hit the area of that village, and a ship was in distress off the coast.
Volunteers manned the rowboats to go out and rescue the crew. Against the enormous waves the rescuers gave all the strength they could muster…
Humility
Broadcast Date: October 11, 2026
You know, it is a true principle that states if we start right, it’s easy to go right. But if we start wrong, we go wrong, and it’s a hard matter to get right. Therefore, trying to obtain spirituality without first obtaining humility – well, that’s a little like trying to grow potatoes in concrete, because God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.…
Stories of Jesus
Broadcast Date: October 11, 2026
If you haven’t figured out, I really enjoy telling stories. But there are some stories that I deem far more valuable and fun to tell than others, the stories about Jesus and His prophets, for example. Those stories do a lot more than just warm our hearts. They teach us, they edify us, and they give us hope. May I illustrate with the following story the power of…
The Promises of Isaiah
Broadcast Date: October 11, 2026
Isaiah is a book of promises, and thereby because of that, it is one of the most inspiring hope-filled books in all of scripture. May I illustrate?
“Sanctify the Lord of hosts [himself]; let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary…” (Isaiah 8:13-14).
You know, these days who doesn’t need a sanctuary? – a safe place.
“The people…
