Nancy Pearcey, in her book Total Truth, brought something into focus that I had thought about but hadn't quite got together. She observed that a common weakness of evangelism is that we start with redemption. It's true, especially among evangelicals. When there is an altar call at the end of a sermon, it can't help but control the entire sermon. Th…

I’ve never known of a womanizer who really liked women. Women are useful to him, things to satisfy his ego—but not people he respects or cares about (or, more importantly, cares for). There may have been no one more destined to win than Solomon. His wisdom was legendary. But in the end, it was his choice of women that turned him into a loser. King …

Only by pride comes contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. We all know that too much pride is a bad thing. And we all know that humility is a virtue. But what are you supposed to do about pride when you are really good at something? Having talented children is a source of great joy, but having talented children who display humility is rea…

It seems that every age and every generation has it defining characteristic. It also seems to me that we are currently living in the generation of the lie. Just look at politics. If we find a man (or woman) who will tell us what we want to hear, truthfulness aside, we’ll vote for them. But this program isn’t really about politics. It’s about making…

Is it possible to give things away and yet become richer? Is it possible to hold on to everything you have and wind up poor anyhow? This is the paradox of generosity—and it has a lot to do with relationships. No man is ever going to get rich without other people—working with you or for you. Selfishness alienates. But generosity attracts and, as a r…

What do you call those little wooden figures with movable arms and legs that are controlled by strings from above (like Pinocchio)? It’s a puppet, right? Actually, no, that’s a marionette. I learned that from reading an article which featured a prominent psychiatrist referring to people who described themselves as marionettes of helplessness. Sadly…

How many times have you gotten yourself into trouble by speaking up when you should have kept your mouth shut? If we’re talking about making life work, the mouth may be the biggest single problem we have to solve. Nine times out of ten, when we have caused a problem by something we have said, we try to convince ourselves and others that we didn’t r…

What father does not take pride in the accomplishments of his son? And what mother does not glow with pride when her daughter is honored for her talents? And what parent does not burn with shame when their children are shamed? I suppose we could say that Solomon was stating the obvious when he wrote that a wise son makes a glad father: but a foolis…

The Proverbs are essentially ideas that grow naturally out of the Law of God. Here we are dealing with one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Bible. If you’ll bear with me, I believe I can clear up a major muddle about the Law and the Bible. There are certain laws that we call the Laws of Nature. We live with them every day. And while we mig…

Of all the ways that a man can mess up his life, sex-related problems have to be some of the most likely. Even more so for a woman—in that the consequences for women seem more likely, dangerous, and permanent. Many parents make the common mistake of warning their children of the dangers instead of impressing upon their minds the morality of the sit…

Years ago, I used to enjoy going up on internet forums and discussing religion there. They had any number of them divided up by category. I tended to hang out on the Christian forums. What was fascinating to me, and something I did not really understand, was the degree of hostility expressed on Christian forums. It seemed a good thing that these pe…

There are a lot of ways to mess up your life. It’s frightening how easy it is to make one small mistake that carries consequences that last a lifetime. There’s no way to avoid every mistake, and accidents will happen from time to time. But we can often be saved from those moments of reckless behavior by having a little wisdom. The problem is that m…

Life is all about challenges, and character is all about meeting those challenges. But the unfortunate thing is that most of us don’t really get a lot of instruction about how to meet them. All too often, we instead indulge ourselves in attitudes and actions that have very unfortunate results. The problem is that we may not know it immediately. The…

How long would you like to live? It depends, doesn’t it, on whether that long life is free of hurt and pain and confusion, and instead filled with joy. How would you like to have a little more peace in your life? What if I could tell you of a way you could have both of these? Well, there is a way. It’s found in the Bible. It is a special revelation…

I suppose we would all agree that it’s a good thing to be wise. When you face hard decisions, it’s good to be able to decide which way is best. It would be good to have a power to discern what is true and right in all kinds of circumstances. But do you have any idea how men get to be wise? Maybe it’s in the genes. Maybe it’s just luck. But what if …

If you call yourself a Christian, what can I assume that you believe? If you call yourself a Christian, what can I depend on you to do? One fellow recently wrote to me and commented that he didn’t think that Mormons were Christians. But you know what? It’s even money that somewhere there is someone who wouldn’t think he is a Christian either. Oddly…

Okay, you have your life together and everything is working like it’s supposed to. So tell me—why do you feel so uneasy? Why do you feel like something bad is about to happen? What’s the matter with us that we can’t relax and feel good about life when it is working? Why do we have this nagging fear that everything is going too well and something ba…

When people talk about the laws of success, they often overlook the little laws—the not-so-obvious principals that have so very much with how your life works (or doesn’t work). They are the small principles that have to do with the spirit of a man rather than his bank account, and are far more important than many of the objectives we pursue. If I c…

There’s one very special statement from Ecclesiastes 9 that deserves to be put up on a wall where you can read it every day. It reads: Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where you go. Ecclesiastes 9:10 KJ2000 What Solomon is saying is that the only chan…

Are you satisfied with the way your life is working? Chances are you have a mixed answer to that question. Some things are working fine and some things you wish were better. Satisfaction is a very elusive quality. We also make an assumption that causes a great deal of dissatisfaction. We assume that satisfaction comes to us from outside of ourselve…

Do you take your faith for granted? Or is it like a lot of married couples: We have been together for so long, we can complete sentences for each other. We can take one another for granted. And at some level that is a good thing. I can take it for granted that my wife will be faithful to me. I can take it for granted that she won't bust the budget.…

There’s a hazard built into life that you may not think about that often. When you do wrong, you usually get away with it. It surely seems that you do—especially when no one finds out. And when we do bad things and get away with them, we are emboldened. Now, we’re looking for wisdom here and trying to make our lives work. So let’s check with the ma…

What sort of decisions do you have coming up today? Do you know what you’re going to do about them? Have you made any preparations (like asking a friend for advice or reading a book on the subject) so that when the time comes you can make a sensible decision? Do you have a framework within which you make your decisions—lifetime goals and moral and …

Better is a poor and wise child, than an old and foolish king that will no longer be admonished. This is one of the saddest things about life—that men of power become foolish. King Solomon learned this the hard way and, in Ecclesiastes 4, penned the quote above. He learned that at the very height of success, foolishness is apt to set in. They begin…

So, how is your life working today? Do you have all your ducks in a row? Is everything humming right along and you’re on schedule? Or do you sometimes feel as if the world is just falling apart? Even King Solomon had these troubles. In Ecclesiastes 4, this great, wise man said this: So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done un…

It never ceases to amaze me how far Man will go, what dangers he will face, in order to penetrate the unknown. To us, the Lewis and Clark expedition was just an early attempt to explore the northwest of our country. But when you really look at what those men did and the dangers they faced, you have to wonder what drives men to do this sort of thing…

There’s a terrible burden that lays upon man. The world around him can be working perfectly. Everything can be in the right place, there is no immediate tragedy stalking him, everything can be beautiful, and a man can still be absolutely miserable. This is the man who can stand on green grass in the middle of beautiful flowers and shrubbery and swe…

Does your life work? I mean, do you really have it all together? Do you have everything lined out in a nice, neat schedule that works for you every day? Are you working at the job you want, with money saved up for college for your kids, with life clicking right along? Or is your life like your garage? You can keep it all together for a little while…

The core, the really core point about making your life work is figuring out what you want. I started to say it’s the hard part about it, but it isn’t so hard. It’s just something we don’t do. We never get around to thinking about it, and maybe taking a cup of coffee, sitting down and saying, What do I really want? What do I want to do tomorrow? Whe…

Eternity is a very long time. They tell us the universe is 15 billion years old, give or take 3 or 4 billion years, but 15 billion years is not eternity. Eternity is longer than that because 15 billion years, or even 30 billion years, implies that there was a point where it all started, and the astronomers tell us there was a point where it all sta…

All of us have what some call a worldview. We are as unaware of this as a fish is unaware of water, but we all have a grid through which we view life’s problems and which we use to make decisions about those problems. For the most part, that worldview goes unexamined. We have always thought the way we have and unless something jars us off our platf…

Do we truly understand how difficult the years ahead will be? Christians have often believed that we would escape the disasters striking the world simply because we were more righteous than others. Some thought we’d be taken to a place of safety, spared from the trials ahead. But the Bible tells us otherwise. Even the children of Israel faced plagu…

What did the First Christians believe about the last days? Forget about the expression the End of the World—the end of the planet is a long way off. It is plain, though, that the First Christians believed there was to be an end of the age (however one might take that) because that is what they asked Jesus about one day on the Mount of Olives. They …

What did the First Christians believe about the last days—the end time of man on the earth? It may not have been a lot different from what some of us believe today, as I suspect more than a few of us have been disquieted by events in the Middle East. Even if we don’t fully understand all the implications of biblical prophecy, we know that the Middl…

I am beginning to think that Americans, along with losing their Christmas spirit—whatever that is—are also losing their sense of humor. A law school in Indiana removed a Christmas tree from its atrium because of complaints. Some folks felt that the tree made them feel excluded. Now apart from the fact that I haven’t a clue what that means, since wh…

If you’re planning on celebrating the birth of Christ in the near future…well, I hate to be the one to tell you this but you’re about three months late. Yeah, really. What’s funny about it is that the whole story is right there in the Biblical account of the birth of Jesus, right in your Bible, but nobody pays much mind to it. You can read it, for …

Hello everyone and welcome to the Christian Educational Ministries Weekend Bible Study. Tonight, we present Ronald L. Dart with a study on the Epistle of Jude from the CEM Vault. To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy — to the only God our Savior be glory, majes…

Are you a grateful person? Do you give thanks often? When you do give thanks, to people or to God, is it from the heart, or are you like a shop clerk that has been trained to say it? When you are ungrateful (and you are ungrateful from time to time) why are you ungrateful, and what is it in you that determines this?…

Halloween is an odd event—very odd, in a way, because in its origins it was not evil; it was actually good. A number of you probably know that Halloween is All Hallows Even; in other words, All Hallows Eve—the evening before All Hallows. And All Hallows is All Saints day. And, originally, All Saints Day (November 1st) was the day when all the saint…

All of us are pretty well acquainted with the fact that the Holy Days, as originally given to Israel, were oriented around the concept of the harvest festival. To some extent, I think some people have tended to dismiss them for that very reason. They have looked at them as agricultural festivals which don’t have a great deal of relevance to 20-cent…
