July 14, 2020
If you knew that there was a 5-minute habit that has been shown to boost the chance of your marriage succeeding to 99%, would you try it? The secret has been around for some time now but has remained largely undiscovered. A 1997 Gallup Poll done by the National Association of Marriage Enhancement (nameonline.net) showed the divorce rate among couples who pray together regularly is 1 out of 1,152. That's far less then 1%.

When 10-year-old Chris Carrier stepped off a school bus on a December morning in 1974, little did he know how his life was about to change. Six days later, Chris was found some 75 miles from his home. He had been burned with cigarettes, stabbed with an ice pick, and then shot in the head. When his kidnapper and molester walked away from the little boy’s body, he thought he was dead.

In the year 332 B.C. Alexander the Great was catapulted into a position of leadership by the death of his father, Philip of Macedonia. Alexander was 20 years old, barely out of his teens, but in little more than a decade, this young man had taken Greek civilization to the known world and had seen the great armies of the world fall under his sword. During this time the people who were conquered tried to preserve their culture and identity; so in time, legends depicting their heroic heroism sprang up. Such a legend was the story of Ahikar‑‑a Jewish hero who, according to the ancient story, was the governor of Israel.

The next time that you feel that you don't count, please remember the time Sir Michael Costra was conducting a rehearsal of a combined orchestra and choral group. About half-way through the rehearsal, the person playing the piccolo began thinking that amidst all the noise of drums, trumpets, violins, and so forth, that his lowly contribution didn't amount to much. So he continued to keep the musical instrument pursed to his lips, but he stopped playing.

Races have a certain hype or excitement to them, whether it is horses or people who pit their energies and strength against one another. Anyone who has ever participated in a race, be it a 5 or 10-kilometer run, or a marathon, realizes that pacing yourself is very, very important. The individual who exhausts his energies early in the race has nothing to draw upon when the finish is near and he needs that extra reserve, that extra kick, to finish and win.

There are 66 books that make up the Bible, but when it comes to devotional reading, the book that most people are probably least likely to select, might be the Old Testament book of Leviticus. The word Leviticus came from the tribe of Levi, who were the priests and worship leaders of the Jewish people. Leviticus was written as an instruction book for the new nation of Israel. Leviticus instructs in right living a people who were following a divine King—God, rather than a human king.

Defining the problem is easy; knowing what to do about it is the difficult part. Every time the earth circles the sun, there are 250 new people that have been born. United Nations data projects that there will be 11 billion people by 2100. These figures, of course, are statistics--numbers which scientists, biologists, and demographers argue over. They draw lines and battle over how many people the earth can sustain versus our human potential to provide for a growing population through science and technology.

"Dear Dr. Sala," writes a friend of Guidelines. "I do have one question that has been bothering me for a long time.... How do I know that I can claim a promise of Scripture when it is (in the context of the Bible) spoken to someone else?" Our friend went on to quote Mark 11:24, where Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

Sitting on the hills overlooking the Sea of Galilee, Jesus taught people in a talk known as the Sermon on the Mount. Found in the Bible book of Matthew, chapter 5, he assigns blessings to people with curious personality or situational traits, and in some cases, what we'd call flaws. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3) is where Jesus begins and it’s where each of our own spiritual journeys, our relationship with God, starts.

He is known for being strong willed, stubborn, and doubting. His name: Thomas, one of the twelve disciples who walked with Jesus. Mentioned a dozen different places in the New Testament, Thomas is usually thought of as a "show me" sort of person, short on faith and long on doubt. But, is this characterization really accurate? Or was Thomas a perpetual pessimist, the kind of person who describes the partially filled glass of water as "half empty" instead of "half full?"
