Rev. Donald E. Wildmon is Founder and Chairman Emeritus of American Family Association (AFA) and American Family Radio (AFR).
God is found within His creation. He can be seen in all the things done to help another human being. Therefore, we have no excuse not to do so.
Life isn’t easy to assemble. There is no “life assembly manual”. We all have to figure out the way for ourselves.
The Rev. Don Wildmon shares the tender prayer he penned for his own children.
Each person chooses for himself the course his life will follow. Church, including Sunday School, is not sissy kid-stuff. It builds the foundation for life.
Life is never as simple as packing up your troubles and smiling. Help for our problems lies at the feet of Christ.
Capernaum is where Jesus centered His life and began His ministry.
When looking deeply at Christ’s words as He speaks of the beatitudes we see another stark contrast between what is and was in existence and the way in which we need to look at life.
The truth is that we really cannot know for sure which of the sites touted by tradition the actual Mount of Transformation is. And it doesn’t really matter. What matters is how highly exalted does the heart of a man hold the Christ.
In the feeding of the five-thousand men, as well as the women and children we see a great truth; little is much in the hands of Christ.
Nazareth’s reputation wasn’t much among the cities of Judea until Jesus Christ put it on the map.
The thrill of life is not in the achieving of the goal. The trill is in the working toward the goal. Overcoming the obstacles is where one finds true success.
Jews as a rule, didn’t travel through Samaria but Jesus and His disciples not only passed through Samaria, but they stopped and spent time there.
There is a stark contrast between the areas surrounding the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee reflecting the names and the characteristic of life. One is baron and dead, the other teaming with life of all kinds.
Jericho is where Bartimaeus called out for mercy from The Savior. It was central to the preparation for His mission given Him by the Father and ministered to many. We all need a Jericho as we cross paths with others.
We think of wilderness as being an area of undergrowth and tress but in reality, the wilderness of the New Testament is quite barren and expansive. Christ chose to spend the time of His temptation there, apart from the distraction of the world, just He and His Father.
The Jordon isn’t a large river, but all through the history of God and His people it has been the most constant body of water He has chosen to use in the lives of His people; whether miraculous crossing, a boundary for the Promised Land or waters of baptism, the Jordon has played its role.
Bethany played a major role in the life of Jesus. Here He could rest and fellowship with those closest to Him. These times of intimacy with those who loved Him are reflective of the intimacy He seeks with today’s believers.
It was from the Mount of Olives that Jesus looked over at Jerusalem and wept. Perhaps it was the site where He taught His disciples to pray and He spent much “alone time” there with His Father…we each must find our own Mount of Olives.
From the palace to the cross, Christ endured suffering as no one before Him or after, and He did it for you.
The founders of our nation labored diligently and carefully to create our nation. They used a foundation of three pillars, holding equal weight. They are Home, school, and church.
