Tips on the Telephone:
March 31, 2008
Cell phones are everywhere. Just take a stroll around your local mall and try to count how many people are using their cells phones as they walk around. My guess is the number will be so high, you'll lose count. Younger and younger children are now using cell phones as well. If your child doesn't have a cell phone, more than likely some of his or her friends do. Parents need to know what is available on their children's cell phones: what can be accessed wirelessly, downloaded, viewed,...

Whose Holding Up Your Hands?
March 26, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up--one on one side and one on the other--so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword." Exodus 17:12-13. Anderson's Applications: God could have secured this victory for His people...

Prayer: An Exercise in Futility or Resurrection Power?
March 20, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins." I Corinthians 15:16-17 Anderson's Applications: This is a very good week to evaluate whether or not you think prayer is an exercise in futility. What you think sometimes of your own experience with prayer may well be futility. Is it not at least one answer to why we do not pray with greater frequency and fervency? We frankly...

Holy Week Thoughts
March 13, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "Deliver us from evil." Matthew 6:13b Anderson's Applications: Suddenly turning a corner the sight before our eyes is overwhelming. Again and again, driving the Amalfi Coast of Italy, traversing the narrow, winding ribbon of highway that clings precipitously to the cliffs high above the waves, every turn presented a new more amazing vista. One village after another of clay tiled roofs hanging over the edge like steep stair-steps plunging to the sea. What a magnificent place...

A Nose Sensitive to the Cesspool?
March 6, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Matthew 6:13 Anderson's Applications: A cynical teenager cornered the pastor of his church one Sunday and asked him sarcastically how much sin weighed, because the pastor had used the phrase "the weight of sin" so often in his sermon. "How much does it weigh," the boy asked, "ten pounds, fifty pounds, a hundred?" The pastor looked him in the eye and said, "If you put a four hundred pound weight on the chest of a corpse,...
