To tell a lie

A minister noticed a group of boys standing around a small stray dog. “What are you doing, boys?” “Telling lies,” said one of the boys. “The one who tells the biggest lie gets the dog.” “Why, when I was your age,” the shocked minister said, “I never ever thought of telling a lie.” The boys looked [...]

Failure of Christians

  An unknown medieval poet, observing the failure of Christians in his day to give Christ His rightful place, wrote these words carved in stone in the cathedral at Lubeck, Germany:- Thus speaketh Christ , our Lord; You call Me Master and obey Me not.

Him that honoureth me I will honour

Chariots of Fire At the Paris Olympics over forty years ago, when an Edinburgh student, Eric Liddell, was chosen to run in the 100 metres, he withdrew because he refused to run in the heats on a Sunday.

The black door or the firing squad

An Arab Chief tells the story of a spy who had been captured and sentenced to death by a general of the Persian army. The general had fallen upon a strange custom. He permitted the condemned person to make a choice. He could either face a firing squad or pass through the Big Black Door. [...]
