Watch Out for Sawdust (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Day 180 Today’s Reading: Colossians 2 Charles Spurgeon told of an event that took place in ancient Rome. A severe famine had struck the North African colonies, so Emperor Nero sent ships to the stricken area. When the starving people saw the ships arriving, they shouted with joy. But Spurgeon recounted the tragic end of the story. When the ships sailed into port, the North Africans discovered they were full of sawdust to lay on the floor of the circuses Rome was exporting to the colonies. The pe

Day 179 Today’s Reading: Colossians 1 C. S. Lewis once said, “Put first things first and we get second things thrown in: put second things first and we lose both first and second things.” Lewis is reminding us that even if good second things get first, we end up with nothing.

His assessment may shock you because it seems somewhat reversed. Here is how th
Heroes and Celebrities (opens the original)

Day 176 Today’s Reading: Philippians 2 We live in a time when it is more popular to be a celebrity than a hero. Numbers of followers or views have replaced the one who risks their life for others. Media has given us celebrities, where danger and risk give us heroes. The gap is much wider between fame and greatness. Heroism is linked to honor and bravery, while celebrities just have links. We have big names today but not big persons. The scary part of all this celebrity worship is that we are see
