Clean Up The Environment
What a frustrating problem pollution is! Everybody suffers from it, yet everybody contributes to it.
Lesson Of The 18-Wheeler
I was talking with a veteran truckdriver about his life on the road. We discussed interstates, cities, truck stops, engines, and tractors.
Use It Or Lose It
I once came across an article that was titled "National Geographic, The Doomsday Machine." It humorously stated that National Geographic magazine will soon doom the American continent to a watery grave because no one ever throws it away. Issue after issue piles up in attics and basements all over America. In time, the accumulation of heavy paper will trigger earthquakes in California, sink coal-mining towns, and precipitate mud slides. Especially hard hit will be large cities where subscribers cluster.
He Feels Your Pain
The 20th century could well be labeled "the century of martyrs." Thousands of Christian brothers and sisters throughout the world have been imprisoned, tortured, and murdered on account of their faith. In fact, more Christians have been killed for their faith during our century than in all the previous centuries combined.
Something Has Changed
When some missionaries took the gospel to Vanino, a town in the far eastern part of Russia, they didn't know what effect their work would have.

No Need Is Too Trivial
Several mothers of small children were sharing encouraging answers to prayer. One woman admitted that she felt selfish when she troubled God with her personal needs. "Compared with the huge global needs God faces," she explained, "my circumstances must seem trivial to Him."
Magnify The Grace
A man once told me he feared that his pride was too deep to be forgiven. To illustrate his sinfulness, he said that when driving to church in his new car he secretly hoped people would notice.
Supported In Suffering
The sequoia trees of California tower as much as 300 feet above the ground. Strangely, these giants have unusually shallow root systems that reach out in all directions to capture the greatest amount of surface moisture.
