Dogs are quick to show their affection. They never pout, they never bear a grudge. They never run away from home when mistreated. They never complain about their food. They never gripe about the way the house is kept. They are chivalrous and courageous, ready to protect their mistress at the risk of their lives. They love children, and no matter how noisy and boisterous they are, the dog loves every minute of it. In fact, a dog is still competition for a husband. Perhaps if we husbands imitated a few of our dog's virtues, life with our family might be more amiable.

Our world is constantly changing but the needs of our hearts remain the same, and so does God's power to transform our lives and give us hope for the future.

Worship leader George Beverly Shea kidded Billy Graham that the latter would be unemployed in Heaven -- while Shea would still have a job leading worship.

When Scripture talks about the heart, it's not talking about that life-sustaining muscle. It's talking about our entire inner being. The heart is the seat of our emotions, the seat of decisive action, and the seat of belief (as well as doubt).

Out of pain and problems have come the sweetest songs, the most poignant poems, the most gripping stories.

Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered in anything short of God and His will.

God does not change - and neither does His love. He loved you before you were born... He loves you now... and He will love you forever.
