When Little Is Much (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this second episode in the series, “The Best of Times and the Worst of Times,” our study of the Old Testament Book of Judges reminds us that Israel’s fifth “judge” did not start his “career” after being voted “the most likely to succeed.” In fact, by his own admission, it appeared as if he would only excel in mediocrity and insignificance. But then, God showed up with an extremely ambitious plan for this very ordinary man, and isn’t that so very often how God chooses to work? He seems to deli

First impressions—We all are concerned about how we make them on others, and we all have formed opinions about others, based on them! While most of us are familiar with the exploits of some of the outstanding men and women of the Old Testament, in many cases we have to admit that our first impression of them, as they appear in Scripture, may not have been the best.

But what happens if “the Chief Executive” is a ma
When Happy Days Are Here Again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the impact of the Great Depression in the fall of 1929 began to reverberate throughout the United States, Jewish composer Milton Ager and Jewish lyricist Jack Yellen released their song, “Happy Days Are Here Again,” at a time when the sufferings of the American people had just begun. Democrat presidential candidate Franklin Delano Roosevelt adopted the song for his 1932 campaign, resulting in his election to the first of three terms as president, likely due to the musical theme of better days
