Even in Space

When Apollo 11’s Eagle lunar module landed on the moon’s Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969, the space travelers took time to recover from their flight before stepping onto the moon’s surface. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin had received permission to bring bread and wine so he could take Communion. After reading Scripture, he tasted theContinue reading “Even in Space”

Your Prayer Discipline

As you begin your time with God, pause for a few moments and allow yourself to grow still. Let go of any distracting thoughts. Take several slow, deep breaths. Feel God’s loving gaze upon you. Luke 24:50-51 Then he led them [out] as far as Bethany, raised his hands, and blessed them. As he blessedContinue reading “Your Prayer Discipline”

It Was His Idea

We are God’s idea. We are his. His face. His eyes. His hands. His touch. We are him. Look deeply into the face of every human being on earth, and you will see his likeness. Though some appear to be distant relatives, they are not. God has no cousins, only children. We are incredibly, theContinue reading “It Was His Idea”

The Plagues

In God’s last plague against Egypt he slays every firstborn, both of people and of animals (11:4–6; 12:29–32). By displaying the blood of an unblemished lamb on their doorposts, as God had instructed Moses and Aaron, the Israelites save their firstborn children (12:1–13, 23). Because of this final blow, Pharaoh sends Israel away from hisContinue reading “The Plagues”

Who Should Serve Communion?

Who is authorized to oversee the Lord’s Supper?Christians universally agree that the Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ and should be observed as an ordinance in the church by His followers. It was to the Corinthian church that Paul wrote instructions concerning the Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:23-26). Paul later wrote to Timothy about theContinue reading “Who Should Serve Communion?”

Can Man Live Without God?

Can man live without God?Contrary to the claims of atheists and agnostics through the centuries, man cannot live without God. Man can have a mortal existence without acknowledging God, but not without the fact of God. As the Creator, God originated human life. To say that man can exist apart from God is to sayContinue reading “Can Man Live Without God?”

A Nook with a Book

But his delight is in the law of the LORD and in His law he meditates day and night (Psalm 1:2 NKJV). Thomas à Kempis said, “I have no rest but in a nook with the Book.” Communion with the Lord through meditation on the Scriptures provided profound rest and refreshment in the midst ofContinue reading “A Nook with a Book”

Communion

What happens in Communion? Why do Christians eat the bread and drink from the cup? As we seek to answer these questions, not many of us think to look back to Moses. If we stand too close to his story, all we’ll have is a truncated view of the bulrushes, burning bush, and plagues. ButContinue reading “Communion”

Breaking the Bread

And my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness, Your praise all day long.—Psalm 35:28 The words “Father in heaven” are intended to help us focus not only on God’s location, but also on His elevation. The Savior (so I believe) encourages us, when we come to God in prayer, to get our perspective right and toContinue reading “Breaking the Bread”

Breaking of the Bread

Now the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him—those who depend on His faithful love.—Psalm 33:18 A modern writer tells how once he asked an old man how he managed to live alone in a single cottage, miles from anywhere. The old man answered cheerfully that he enjoyed it since, as heContinue reading “Breaking of the Bread”
