A few days after arriving on the campus of Texas A&M University in 1984, Bruce Goodrich was awakened at 2 a.m. Upperclassmen roused him out of bed to initiate him into the Corps of Cadets, a military-style training program.
Bryce was forced to exercise and run several miles in hot and humid conditions. When he eventually collapsed, he was told to get up and keep going. He collapsed again, went into a coma, and died later that same day.

[Title] => More than a contract
[Summary] => The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs. – Romans 8:16-17
We are all accustomed to contracts. We are often required to sign them, whether we’re closing a business deal, leasing an apartment, or purchasing a major appliance. Contracts, formal or informal, specify what happens if one of the parties fails to live up to an agreement.

[Title] => Good communicators
[Summary] => ‘Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,’ for we are members of one another. – Ephesians 4:25
A young boy and his stepfather had difficulty communicating with each other. The man was outgoing; the boy was quiet. The elder loved to fish; the youngster loved to read.
The stepfather, wanting to get close to the boy, took him on a fishing trip. The boy hated it but didn’t know how to tell his stepfather directly. So he wrote him a note saying he wanted to go home. The man looked at it and stuck it in his pocket.

A teacher tells her young students, "Class, I’m going down the hall to the school office for a few minutes. I don’t expect to be away long. I’m sure there won’t be any trouble. I’m trusting you to work on your assignments while I’m gone."

Churchgoing has fallen on difficult times lately. For some Christians it is a weak substitute for a picnic on a rainy Sunday. Excuses are as plentiful as quarters in the collection plate. The fact is, many professing Christians don’t think Church is all that important. They think they can be perfectly good Christians without being part of a local congregation.

Feuds are as old as the human race and as widespread as the common cold. Like the cold, once they start they infect others. It is insidious how easily feuds begin, how long they can last, and the damage they can do. In the late 1800s, two families, one in Kentucky and another in West Virginia, fought for nearly 20 years, and 12 were killed.

To improve efficiency, a company hired a consultant, who called a meeting of all ship personnel. Stressing the need to listen to experts, he said, "Imagine you’re on the Titanic, and it’s sinking. You climb into a lifeboat. Which direction would you now?"
Then he asked, "What if you had the ship’s navigator with you? Now which way would you go? You’d row the way the navigator told you to, right?"

[Title] => From servant to Savior
[Summary] => He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even to the death of the cross. – Philippians 2:8
Some Bible scholars believe that Philippians 2:6-11 may have been part of an early Christian hymn. Believers praised the Son of God because He "made Himself of no reputation" (v. 7) and chose to put aside His own rights and privileges to become a man. Not just any man, but a lowly servant. As a man, Jesus gave Himself to be murdered as a criminal on a Roman execution rack. How high He was, and how low He came!
