I doubt the eleven disciples lingering around the table after the Passover meal had any idea of what was about to happen. I’m sure the threats from the Jewish authorities were in the back of their minds, but they were with Jesus. I imagine it as an almost electric combination of risk and excitement. Tensions […]
Earthen Vessels
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of […]
Big and small things
Our printing equipment has been busy lately. We recently delivered about 1.5 million tracts to a faithful distributor in New York City. The load weighed over 4.5 tons. Some of these will be used in the City, but most of them will go to the Dominican Republic. We are currently preparing another shipment close to […]
Prayer
If you were given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand for just a few minutes before the Creator of the universe and express to Him whatever was on your mind, how would you feel? How would you prepare? What would you say? Of course we all have this opportunity; and while it is an awesome privilege, […]
The Tyranny of the Tongue
How many times has it happened to you? Someone said just a few words to you, words that didn’t even communicate anything that important; but the attitude behind the words seemed loaded with a venomous message that left your soul stunned and hurting. But I hope you can all identify with this experience too: after […]
New article & Spanish update
The latest milestone in our ongoing Spanish translation project is the release of five Spanish tracts, previously available only in English. These new tracts rolled off the press for the first time just a few weeks ago and are ready for shipment upon request. The new titles are: T05 La Preciosa Sangre de Cristo The […]
Another year of publishing
The year 2015 is behind us, and we’ve added up the figures. Our records show that about 13,280,000 tracts and booklets went out our doors last year. That means our press ran well over 750 miles of paper. We purchase paper on 40-inch rolls. Can you imagine someone unrolling 750 miles of paper and filling […]
Locusts and wild honey, anyone?
There are stories in the Bible that some of us have a hard time imagining. While we believe the historical accounts are true, we just can’t quite picture ourselves in those situations. Such is the story of John the Baptist. We can read about this character near the beginning of each of the four Gospels. […]
Mary and Martha
Do you often struggle to find your way through the busyness of life to the peace, serenity, and focus to which God calls His children? This problem seems to have become all too common, especially in our Western culture. Many of you who read this will instantly know, upon reading the two names in the […]
Sending Out the Word
Last week, one of our largest shipments for the year left our print shop. Six pallets were sent to Edwin L. Hodges Ministries for distribution around the world. Those six 1,400-lb pallets all together contained 1.4 million tracts in assorted titles. Almost one million were in Spanish, and the rest in English. This is one […]
