Is Lying Ever Permitted?
'The Way' from Kevin Pauley
"You must not steal. You must not act deceptively or lie to one another.” - Leviticus 19:11 HCSB We must be very careful to not allow ourselves to be overly simplistic in our approach to moral dilemmas. For instance, in advocating honesty, Immanuel Kant went so far as to say that if a murderer were to ask where his potential victim was, an honest person would be obligated to tell him![1] Augustine also said, “…a lie may never be told for the preservation of the temporal life of another.”click to continue reading!

Though He May Die (John 11.25)
'Today's Little Lift' from Jim Bullington
“Death is not optional.” Do you agree with this statement? Well then, how about “Death is optional,” do you agree with this statement? Maybe you agree with both statements.

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"
"Thou shalt love thy neighbour."
- Matthew 5:43
"Love thy neighbour." Perhaps he rolls in riches, and thou art poor, and living in thy little cot side-by-side with his lordly mansion; thou seest every day his estates, his fine linen, and his sumptuous banquets; God has given him these gifts, covet not his…

Words to Ponder
Jesus lived His life in complete dependence upon God, as we all ought to live our lives. But such dependence does not destroy human personality.
