Keeping A Smile On Your Faith, by Pastor Dudley C. Rutherford
As Christians, we are often faced with trials, sorrows, and struggles of
many kinds, and it can be difficult to find joy in such challenges. Jesus
never promised we would be free from tribulation once we become
believers. However, God does show us how to learn from, overcome, and
rejoice—yes, rejoice—in difficulties through the wisdom of His word. Some
of the most essential keys to a joyful Christian walk, in fact, are found in a
small book in the New Testament written by James, the brother of Jesus.
Dudley C. Rutherford is the senior pastor of the 10,000 member
Shepherd of the Hills Church in Porter Ranch (Los Angeles), CA. He has
been blessed with the ability to convey God’s truth dynamically,
passionately, and clearly.
Letters from Ruth’s Attic, by Ruth Bell Graham
Ever feel like running away? Ever asked, “Why me?” Have you doubted
whether God is listening? Do you sometimes get discouraged because
you are just plain tired, or secretly wonder how God could possibly
find pleasure in you? If so, this collection of unique reflections from Ruth
Bell Graham’s pen will lift your spirits, stir your smile, and encourage you
in your walk with God.
Ruth Bell Graham (1920-2007), wife of Billy Graham, often called herself a
pack rat, alluding to the attic she loaded with the stuff of memories as well
as with simple treasures others had overlooked.
In a similar way, she packed her writing with illustrations stored in memory
and stories collected from forgotten writers and ancient sources, then
added her fresh thoughts.
