Now and then it behooves us to think about the Elements. Usually when we hit a crisis. For the past several days our air quality has been extremely poor. Our neighboring city of Magdalena, 26.4 kilometers by highway, about a half-hour drive on a winding highway, is beset round and about with wildfires. The mountains of Magdalena are famous for quality opals. Fire opals? This morning I woke up knowing that there had been no progress in controlling the fires. How did I know. My breathing when I awoke was quick and shallow, unusual enough for me...

PHILIPPIANS 4:19: “And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” This promise establishes the fact that God will satisfy every need of yours.

It is apparent that God provided faithfully for Paul. In unpacking PHILIPPIANS 4:19, we can learn a great deal about how God intends to provide for u...

He said that on a recent trip to the Gulf of Mexico, he and his wife watched the sun setting...
