Every Human Heart
(~) Every Human Heart Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of […]
Humility
Some years ago, an American soldier on a bus inSweden told the man sitting next to him, ‘America is the mostdemocratic country in the world. Ordinary citizens may go to the WhiteHouse to see the President and discuss things with him’. “The man said, ‘That’s nothing. In Sweden, the King and the peopletravel on the […]

By Martha Noebel CBN Staff Writer “Forgive them? I can’t. “ “They make me so mad.” “You just don’t know what they did to me.” Have you ever heard those words before? Forgiveness is hard to do, but with God’s help, we can forgive. The definition of forgive is to pardon or excuse. It means […]

Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went” (Ezekiel 12:1). Apparently extremes aren’t good for spiritual health. If we lean too much on the side of severity, we can […]

The Voice of God is Never Silent
The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.

The Compassionate Life
