On Stage






















When Adam and Eve fell in the Garden of Eden, their descendants were automatically doomed to share their unfortunate fate.  But God, in His mercy, offered His own Son as a sacrifice for mankind!  Satan claims this old world as His own territory, but Jesus bought it with His own blood.  This spiritual battle is still raging!  The victor has been crowned, but which side are you and I on?  To whom do we pledge allegiance?  All heaven and the whole universal beings have been keenly watching this drama unfold with intense interest.  They still are.  They are watching you and I today as we go about our duties.  We are the universal subjects of interest whether or not we like it!  We are on stage.  Angels are right beside us all the time to guide us in the right path.  If we remembered that we are on stage always, if we could see beings standing beside us, how different would our actions be!?  What if we remembered that every time we sin we are driving those spikes further into our Savior's tender flesh, causing the Son of God the most intense agony?  Would we act and different than we do today?  We are on stage!  If only we kept that though foremost in our minds at all times!  Our thoughts, words, and actions must always be true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and of virtue.  (Phil 4:8)  If it is our desire to enter the Kingdom of God, we must be filled with His love, imparting it to those around us.

Jesus is coming soon!

Who Holds the Reins?

A horse gallops wildly through the deep dark woods. On its back rides a terrified girl, her small, weak hands clinging to the reins draped about her horses neck. Her dress is torn and dirty and her unraveled braids fly out behind her in a tangled and wind tossed mess. The trail, full of potholes, rocks and fallen logs, snakes its way through an ominously dark and dreary forest. Dark, sinister trees threaten to grab her and pull her off of her horse. At every bump in the trail, the girl bounces, nearly losing her grip. Her knuckles whiten as she tightens her grip on the reins. She looks down at the blur of rocks and logs racing beneath her and imagines with terror what would happen if she lost her grip. Behind her sits a Man, His face a picture of tender kindness and pity. He longs to help the girl who clings so desperately to the horses reins. The girl’s eyes, full of fear and blinded by tears, look imploringly at the One riding behind her. “Little girl,” He says, His eyes s...

On Thin Ice

It was a beautiful spring day. The sun shone brightly, making paths of light through the thick branches of tall pine trees. Little birds flitted through the branches and chirped merry songs.     Nearby, a boy stepped onto some melting ice. He nervously moved his feet, noticing little pools of water forming at every step. His eyes flashed and his mouth curved into a confident grin as he neared the center of the ice. He turned around and looked back at his friends who were watching him.    “Look at me!” He yelled and jumped on the ice. His friends gasped and told him to stop jumping.    “You might fall through!” they cried. But he only shrugged it off and laughed and began to jump some more, his feet pounded into the weakening ice. He didn’t notice the crack that had started to form and that was gradually getting larger with every jump. Then suddenly, without warning, he heard the ice splinter and felt freezing cold water begin engulf him. His friend...

Transformation

     A man walks down a beach, searching. His feet sink into the sand and waves lap at them with every step. He stops and stoops down to pick up a stone. A smile plays on the corners of his lips as he holds it in his hand. To the ordinary person, it’s a rough and beach-worn stone; chipped and full of imperfections. But as this man gazes at the stone, he sees past those chips and scratches, past its dull appearance, and sees in it a beautiful gem, full of possibilities      He slips the stone in his pocket, and takes it home to polish it. First he puts it in a tumbler with a bunch of other stones. As it is tumbles, its many imperfections are chipped away. When the man finally takes it out of the tumbler, he holds in his hand a beautiful gem, no longer the dull stone it once was. Then he carefully covers the whole stone with a layer of polish. Once it is dry, the man picks up the stone and rubs his finger along its smooth, glossy surface. A smile of satisfa...
