A Life of Significance by Charlotte Ann Carreon

Just recently in church we talked about the significance of numbers in the modern world – How every little thing can be quantified by these abstract figures that now define one’s being. Each aspect of life can be measured – Success, wealth, personal worth, happiness, and so on. How much do you earn? How many units have you sold? How many cars do you own? How many friends do you have? There may be different parameters, yet each answer subtly translates into an invisible standard where you either pass or fail in people’s eyes.

Have You Ever? by Joseph Tanchi

There's a group of friends sitting around a table. One asks "Have you ever…?" and a few raise their hands. The others sit in silence, smiling as they think about what they've just learned about their friends. It's then the next person's turn and he / she asks "Have you ever…?" and it goes on and on. Sometimes, there's a consequence for those who raised their hands. In many countries, this is a popular game people play when they get together. In others it is merely a fun way to break the ice and get to know someone you might be meeting for the first time a little better.

Man for Others by Leah Irao

It is the duty of every Christian to be Christ to his neighbor.– Martin Luther. When we became Christians, we received a multitude of blessings. We have an assurance of our salvation and our place in heaven is secured. Even here on earth, we know that we will overcome all our troubles because our God already did. Do we then just sit back, relax and wait out? I hope not because Christ will not be pleased. Read more

Modern Day Sacrifice by Joseph Tanchi

I love ads. Everywhere I look I’m bombarded with ads for countries to visit, new places to eat, beautiful clothes to wear, smaller and better phones – every kind of good or service I could ever imagine. They give me so many choices. And oh how I love choices. McDonald’s, Burger King or Carl’s Jr? Beef, chicken or fish? Do you want fries or onion rings with that burger? Do you want to upsize your soda? No pickles and extra tomatoes please!
