Glorifying God By Our Good Deeds
by Terry Broome

There is a clear message coming out of the New Testament that we are to be a people who glorify God in everything we say and everything we do. Colossians 3:17 comes to mind as one such citation that “… whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”

A New Year’s Resolution
by Terry Broome

Time is moving ever so quickly and we’re reminded of the words of James in the New Testament: “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14).

No Room In The Inn
by Terry Broome

Can you imagine??? It’s truly hard for me to fathom what it means to say that God came in the flesh in the form of man, and they called His name “Jesus, for He would save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:2; Luke 1:31). I’m certain that most readers will remember very well the record of Luke 2:7 “And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.”

Taking Christianity Seriously
by Terry Broome

The story has been told of a preacher who was describing the crucifixion of Christ in very dramatic detail. He preached of the anguish and pain that Jesus felt, the crown of thorns on his head, the physical pain of crucifixion coupled with the personal feeling of being alone when He cried out “My God, My God, Why hast thou forsaken me?” As he described all that Jesus did for those whom He loved so dearly, a little boy in the audience began to cry, and soon was sobbing aloud. The people sitting next to the mother gave her a knowing smile and the mother, evidently quite embarrassed, turned to her son and whispered, “Don’t take it so seriously!”

Obtaining The Prize
by Terry Broome

In 1Cor 9:24-27, Paul alludes to the ancient Grecian games through the image of athletes running in a race, fighting as a boxer, and competing for a prize. He observes that there are principles common to both athletes and Christians. We all are in need of motivation, self-control, and exercise. These are necessary in order to “obtain” the prize.
