The Cave
By William King
As we topped the mountain in Birmingham, It looked as though something was wrong. The whole city looked yellow. From growing up here, I knew this sky color very well. The steel mills had released sulfur into the air. The sun shining through it made it appear yellow. My fiancé remarked, “I would never live here.”
Japanese Schindler
By Bob Kaku
The Academy Award-winning movie, Schindler’s List (1993), made Americans aware of the heroic and self-sacrificing actions of the German industrialist, Oskar Schindler, who saved the lives of over a thousand Polish Jews during World War II. Lesser known are the similar exploits of another man, a Japanese diplomat named Chiune Sugihara.
Would You Know Jesus?
By R. J. Gunter
Did you know that Dolly Parton once entered a Parton lookalike contest and came in second place? The famous silent film actor, Charlie Chaplin, entered a Chaplin lookalike contest and came in third. How could that happen? Can an impressionist be more real to us than the real person? Maybe we often have an impression in our mind of what a person is supposed to be like that doesn’t match the reality.
Is God Fair?
By Warren Mueller
When a child dies of cancer, a home is destroyed by a tornado or one neighbor is laid off while another is promoted, I sometimes hear people say, “It’s not fair.” Some people live long lives and are wealthy while others live short lives in poverty. Some are taller, more attractive, talented, stronger, etc. It doesn’t seem fair when the son of a vice president of a company is hired and promoted before others. We have all experienced things in our lives that do not seem fair. It’s true that life is not fair but does this mean God is not fair?
Omnipotent
By Richard Wines
What does it mean to be omnipotent? I call God omnipotent, but do I know what omnipotence means? The dictionary defines omnipotence as “almighty or infinite in power.” So how can the finite understand the infinite? I can’t, but that doesn’t keep me from trying.
