October 5 The Intervention of Angels For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him. (Psalm 34:7 nlt) In 2018 Koko the gorilla died in her sleep at the age of 46. She understood American Sign Language and could sign more than one thousand words. One of the things about Koko that amused me was her love of cats. She had several as pets and was very gentle with them. One day Koko got angry for some reason and ripped a sink from the wall. Then she pointed to her pet and signed, "Cat did it." She had enough comprehension to cast the blame somewhere else. It reminds me of the Old Testament story of Balaam and his donkey. God told the prophet to do a certain thing, but Balaam disobeyed. He was going the wrong direction when the donkey he was riding darted off the road into a field. Later, his donkey brushed against a wall, hurting Balaam's foot. Then the donkey went a little further and just laid down. Each time, the angry prophet beat the donkey. Then an amazing thing happened. The Lord caused the donkey to speak. So the donkey turned to Balaam and said, "What have I done to you that deserves your beating me three times?" (Numbers 22:28 nlt).   CONTINUE READING →

Which one are you?

A husband spends money on new electronic gadgets and entertainment, while the wife spends money on new clothes and home décor.

Hello Rick, Tell me if this sounds familiar to you: A husband spends money on new electronic gadgets and entertainment while the wife spends money on new clothes and home décor. Both of them feel that the other is wasting money on unnecessary things, and when money tensions come along, both are secretly (or perhaps openly) blaming the other one for causing the problem. Maybe an argument happens, or maybe resentment builds up and there is cold tension. Either way, things are unhealthy. I recently heard a wise couple say something interesting: "When we have conflict around money, it's not about the money." So what's it about? It's about expectations, assumptions, and lack of communication. That wise couple is Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn, and they've written a book about how to improve in communication about finances. It's a great book for married or dating couples. It's called Thriving in Love and Money: 5 Game-Changing Insights about Your Relationship, Your Money, and Yourself. This isn't a book about budgeting or saving or debt-management, though it talks about those things. It's really about addressing the deeper issues of finding out how your mate perceives things and what they value. It's about learning to talk about money without arguing and adjusting your expectations and communication techniques. It's a really great book, and we're giving it to those who donate to Harvest Ministries this month. If you think you could benefit from such a book, or you know a couple who is struggling in the areas of love and money, I recommend you get a copy. We will mail one to you for a gift of any amount to the ministry work we are doing at Harvest. Receive Your Copy Your gift will be used to bring many people to Christ!
