It Came At A Price
William Tyndale, a 16th century Englishman, translated the Bible into English while living in Germany. Finally, in 1525, he was able to publish a New Testament in English. But the church authorities at the time were not pleased and they angrily sought to destroy Tyndale and his translation. Finally, he was caught and brought back to England where he was burned at the stake.
Which Would You Choose?
A man was slowly losing his memory. After a lengthy examination, the doctor said that a risky operation on his brain might reverse his condition and restore his memory. However, the surgery would be so delicate that a nerve could be severed, causing total blindness. The surgeon asked, “So, which would you rather have, your sight or your memory?” The man pondered the question for
Your Angel
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. The child asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?” God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one.

As any great artist would, he saw what no one else could: the sculpted faces of US presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. After 14 years, he finally completed his project—Mount Rushmore. How in the world did Borglum foresee such a work of

When prisoners go to the courthouse, they wear shackles on their hands and ankles, making it difficult to walk without tripping, or walk quickly. They are guarded heavily. They are no longer free. That is only one of the consequences of their bad behavior. In the same way, when we were an unbeliever, though we could not see them, we had shackles—heavy ones—on our bodies.
