Turning Our Disappointments Into God’s Appointments
August 30 2010 by D.E. Parkerson
Deep down in nearly every life there are disappointments of one kind or another. If you have not ever had a huge disappointment, the time will come when it will happen. No one is immune to disappointments — literally no one. Even the most successful among us have dreams that are never realized, and things for which we hope that never come true. What do you do when you are confronted with...

Do You Need Plastic Surgery?
August 23 2010 by D.E. Parkerson
A man said to his friend, “I recently had to have some plastic surgery. I had taken on too much debt, so I took a pair of scissors and cut up my credit cards.” He is not the only person who needs that kind of plastic surgery. I might add that our country could also profit from some plastic surgery. No one, and no nation, can continue indefinitely to spend more than is taken in without fa...

‘I Knew You Would Come!’
August 2 2010 by D.E. Parkerson
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ to earth is one of the cardinal teachings of the Bible. Of the 260 chapters of the New Testament, 216 of them make reference to His coming again. One of every 30 verses, 23 of the 27 New Testament books, and all nine authors herald Christ’s return. Fifty times in his 13 epistles, Paul spoke of this grand climax of history. Its very frequency in the New ...

Day 6 Haiti: It had to happen
It had to happen, I suppose. After a week of mass numbers, gross results and overwhelming needs assaulting every sense — 230,000 killed in 30 seconds; 1,300 refugee camps; 3,000 helping agencies at work among victims; 80 percent unemployment; 50 percent literacy; only 40 percent with access to clean water — I thought I'd grown heart callouses hard enough to deflect any emotional tugs while I w...
