And Now, A Word from…Us
It has been quite some time since we took a day and just gave you some news from A Legacy of Faith. In the past several months, we have seen tremendous growth, especially in our number of email subscribers. Thank you! Since we have so many new readers, we wanted to take just one day and let you know about a couple of places on our website you may not have visited yet, where you can get more from us. A Store (with Free Stuff) Yes, we have a store. No, it isn’t a big money-maker. In fact, there are many things in our store that are totally free! In…

Every Day with God
We were sitting in a class for elementary students at Maywood Christian Camp. The first Saturday in May of each year, the area youth ministers provide a wonderful day called “Madness in May” for K-6 students. Bible classes, food, and fun fill the day, and the children really grow throughout the day. As we sat with our group from 9th Avenue in a class about Abraham’s faith, the teacher asked a question about going to heaven. The students started talking about what one needed to do to go to heaven, and how it takes faith. The teacher then said something like this: “Won’t it be great to be with God…

To Save a Child
They waited with great anxiety. They peered out their windows in terror. Then their worst fears were realized. They saw Pharaoh’s men coming to take their baby boys away forever. These innocent children were being executed by the thousands. No Israelite sons were left out of the slaughter. Parents kissed their babies and clung to them with all their might. But the Egyptian soldiers snatched them from mothers’ arms and sent them to their deaths, casting them into the Nile (Ex. 1:22). Yet there was one family who refused to let that happen. One family who refused to let their child meet an untimely death. The Hebrew writer says, “By…

“…I Might as Well Go with My Husband”
She is a very friendly lady. She seems genuinely happy on those rare occasions when we meet. She’s visited one of the worship services where I preach with a mutual friend of ours. When I visited with her in her home after that, she told me that she enjoyed the experience. Recently, when I saw her, she told me the same thing. However, as I encouraged her to return, she also told me that she has “a church home.” She was very kind when she said it. She appreciated my concern, but the message was clear. She has a church home and is not all that interested discussing any other possibilities. It wasn’t always that way. In…

Senior Saints, Please Keep Serving
The name Ida Keeling may not mean anything to you, but her story from the past weekend’s Penn Relays made me take notice. Keeling ran the 100-meter dash. There were nine runners in her race and she finished last; ninth out of nine. It took her over 67 seconds to finish the short run down the straightaway. So, what could possibly be inspirational about that? Ida Keeling is over 100 years of age! Her time of 1:07 in the 100-meter dash is a new world record for the over-100 age bracket. (By the way, here is a news report about the race, and here is an article that contains the…

Blessed is the Man Who Trusts the Lord
“I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord. Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust…” ~ Psalm 40:1-4a. From these four verses, we are reminded of the grace and deliverance of God. Anytime you seem to be in a rough spot, it is important to be patient and trust…

What Could be Better than Facebook?
Facebook is, by far, the largest social media site in the world. According to some information I have seen, there are over 1.1 billion Facebook accounts. Facebook is about three times larger than its nearest rival, Twitter, which still has several hundred million accounts. I am not writing this from the vantage point of an “internet Nazi.” I am not among those who believe that the internet in general–and Facebook in particular–are inherently evil. Yes, there are dangers, but there are dangers with all other forms of media. There are dangers inherent in driving, but I choose to do that instead of walking everywhere I go (and maybe getting run over by a car!). There are…
