JUST AS HE SAID Zechariah had had an interesting year, to be sure.

by David Sproule In a world that is dominated by the material, the sensual and self-gratification, an attentive Christian should ask, “How can I be more spiritual?” Unfortunately, the idea of being “spiritual” is misunderstood.

In most states divorce are granted for mental cruelty or simply “incompatibility.” It means “unable to get along.” But why do second marriages usually suffer more than a first? The answer is rather simple. Incompatibility did ruin or destroy the marriage. The incompatibility is not with the mate but with self. People who cannot live with themselves certainly cannot live with others. This...

“How much should I give?” That’s an impossible question to answer since the New Testament refuses to name a minimum. Why not give us an amount? It is probably because God knew the people. People give to the ceiling, not off the floor. If God said to give 10% that would cap many people’s giving at 10%. Seldom do people give more than the requirement. Perhaps, that’s why the...
