Consistency
January 31, 2008
Why doesn't my child listen? How often do you have to repeat yourself until you get your child’s or teenager’s full attention? There are a number of reasons why they don’t listen, but one reason may be that we do not always follow through on what we say. Perhaps you have heard or used similar statements: If you don’t come in right now I am going to break your neck! Or, if you don’t start to behave, I am going to send you to boarding school! Sometimes we make statements to our children...

Bread, Glorious Bread!
January 30, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "Give us this day our daily bread." Matthew 6:11 Anderson's Applications: Diets that work the best unfortunately say to us, "leave off the bread!" Ugh! Though we often refer to a spartan subsistence as "having only bread and water," these are perhaps our most refreshing drink and most common food. Bread has been called the "staple of life" and I can vouch that in some restaurants when they bring that fresh, warm small loaf of bread to your table with butter, or olive oil and herbs,...

No Trifling Matter
January 24, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "...Deliver us from evil (or the evil one), for Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever. Amen." Matthew 6:13 Anderson's Applications: When we pray we acknowledge some critical truths. By praying to God who is a Spirit, we confess our belief in the reality of the spiritual world. We also admit our needs in both worlds. For while we are flesh and blood, we very much have a foot in each world. So when we pray to God, "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth...

Are There Any Ink Blotches on Your Wall?
January 17, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, 'The kingdom of God does not come visibly, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is in the midst of you." Luke 17:20-21 Anderson's Applications: When we pray, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven," we acknowledge the reality of the spiritual world here with us, every bit as real as the material world we see, feel,...

Your Greatest Desire in 2008
January 10, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Luke 1:38 Anderson's Applications: In a young woman's life there is no greater time of anticipation, excitement and joy than the few months before her marriage to the love of her life. In the midst of just such a time Mary was stunned by the message of a supernatural messenger. I have never seen an angel, but those who have, whose encounters with one or more are recorded in Scripture, have this in common,...

Why Do the Nations Rage?
January 3, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, "Let us break their bonds in pieces, and cast away their cords from us." Psalm 2:1-3 Anderson's Applications: The Christmas story is sublime and simple, concise and memorable. On Christmas Eve at the PAYH one of our young men, instead of reading the Christmas story from Luke 2, read it from...

Memorial Day: Will We Hide It from the Next Generation?
January 3, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power and the wonders He has done." Psalm 78:4 Anderson's Applications: "Fourscore and seven years ago" is how it begins. How many readers know what I am talking about? How many of your children or grandchildren do? These were the beginning words of a speech once considered worthy enough for American school children by the millions to memorize as a requirement...
