The Need to Know
Written by Jim Guffey, April 17, 2005
There is in the Bible a story we’ve all heard. It’s the story of David and Goliath. It’s a really cool story but let me share with you some things that came to my mind as I watched the cartoon with the kids in church today.
The story is simple. The Israelites were on one side and the Philistines on the other. There was to be a great fight. But on the Philistines side was a champion named Goliath, who just happened to be a giant. And rather than fight army against army Goliath issued this challenge:
1 Sa 17:10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies

I Will Fear No Evil?
Written in Guatemala

Two weeks ago in Guatemala, I woke up one morning thinking about the 23rd Psalm. But I couldn’t get past the first verse:
Ps 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. It just sounded too simple. The Lord is the shepherd and I am one of his sheep. I follow him; he takes care of me. I follow him. He

Trust in the Lord; You Don’t Need to Understand
Sometimes in our lives we have issues which cause us grave problems. Insurmountable problems. Problems beyond our understanding. We question why. And then the big question, why me? Have I committed some great sin? Am I being punished?

“Matthew also says the demoniacs were “exceedingly fierce.” That means they were violent. Mark 5 says that people had tried to bind them with chains, but those demoniacs broke them with their tremendous strength. Such strength was demonstrated to me when the demon-possessed woman I spoke with flipped over a steel desk with only two fingers.”
Do I believe demons exist? That’s a good question. Unfortunately, the answer is a little complicated. I believe angels exist but I’ve never seen one. I believe God exists but I’ve never seen Him. Let’s just say Continue reading

Trusting God or Trusting Self?
An experienced mountain climber decides to take on a very steep and rugged mountain, covered with snow and ice. It is a difficult climb but he knows he can do it and he chooses to go without a friend. He has the best of equipment and knows how to use it all so he has little fear of going it alone. So all alone he sets out and begins the climb.
As the day wears on it is getting colder and colder and his rate of climb is slowing down. It’s beginning to get dark and he is still a distance from the top. As darkness settles in he cannot see and realizes he is in Continue reading | 1 Comment
