Teaching, A Sacred Trust
Broadcast Date: August 23, 2026
Since it’s that time of year when school is starting, may I share an experience with you that happened to me more than thirty years ago?

Kidney Stones
Broadcast Date: August 23, 2026
One night not long ago after a late night family movie, my little boy Adam crawled in bed with me wanting a bedtime story. I was just a few pages into “Beauty and the Beast” when all of a sudden a pain hit me in the back and began to intensify. Within moments it was so bad I couldn’t breath. When I sat up, it felt as though someone had…
Jane James

Sometimes it is well to be reminded just how hard some people have had it for the Gospel’s sake.
October 23, 1856: William James was asked to help bury the dead that morning before beginning the ascent of Rocky Ridge, Wyoming. William and his family were a part of the Willie Handcart Company, and snow had caught them ill-prepared on one…
The Chastening of the Lord
Broadcast Date: August 23, 2026
“… whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth ...” (Hebrews 12:6)
To chasten in the Scriptures means to correct by punishment, or to inflict pain to reclaim.
Now, it’s a given: If the Lord loves you, at some point or another He will chasten you, and it can be very painful and difficult to bear. The question is: Will we bear it? There are some…

A Dirty Little Irish Kid
Broadcast Date: August 16, 2026
The year was 1875: There were two missionaries serving in Liverpool, England, and one night they happened to be walking home. It was late. They noticed a young boy standing on a bridge. Now, thinking that he was too young to be out so late at night, they offered to walk him home. The offer was accepted, and the missionaries walked him to his humble home. There they…
Important People
Broadcast Date: August 16, 2026
I remember once as a little boy meeting a man who spoke to me in a very unusual way. As we worked together, he didn’t talk to me like I was just a boy. He spoke to me like an equal, as though he really believed, that in spite of the fact that he was much older than me, that he was no better than I was. I remember what an impact that had on me. It seemed unusual not…
Lovest Thou Me
Broadcast Date: August 16, 2026
After the Savior’s resurrection, He appeared to the apostles in the Upper Room, manifesting his body to them. Eight days later, He came similarly to Thomas.
Now, sometime after these profound events, Simon Peter and four others were at the Sea of Galilee when Peter announced, “…I go a fishing. They said [say unto him], We also go with thee...” (John 21:3)
Well,…

Are there times when your faith and belief just aren’t quite what you’d like it to be? Maybe there’s something you need to believe in. May I share the story of one young woman?

What Money Can Buy
Broadcast Date: August 16, 2026
One day after class, I returned to my office. I was only there a few minutes when I heard the sound of beautiful piano music coming from my classroom. I walked back in, and there was one of my students, a lovely young woman, the mother of two small children and the wife of a hard working college student.
I was a little surprised. She never spoke in class and she was…
