Easter will be celebrated this month, Sunday, April 8th and it is a time of great rejoicing for all believers. The following article is a reprint from "Tool Box," Spring 2006, a publication of Evantell. The author, Larry Moyer, presents not only the gospel but also how to share it with others simply. Easter provides all of us a great opportunity to share the good news with those around us. Perhaps this article will challenge us to faithfully share the gospel with someone/s this month or at anytime.

Someone has observed that the New Testament is especially helpful for morning devotions and that the Psalms constitute a comforting pillow for one's head at night. This 3rd Psalm contains something of that thought. In this Psalm, David is not ignorant of the stupendous difficulties that surround him.

Over the course of the next months I will be using lessons from Dr. V. Raymond Edman's book, But God. Dr. Edman, former President of Wheaton College provides this description for his book: "little lessons of large importance learned from the Holy Scriptures, with poems by Annie Johnson Flint" (a prolific writer of hymns). For the articles, I may or may not include the poems. I am aware that this is not a new book (1962-hope that won't be a deterrent to reading these articles), yet I've chosen to use his chapters for some of the upcoming articles as he uses principles from Scripture to illustrate truths applicable to every believer.

Excerpt from the book, But God, by V. Raymond Edman (5th in a series).
8 "Behold, I go forward but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him; 9 When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him. 10 "But He knows the way I take; when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 "My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside (NASU).

Over the course of the next 7 months, our monthly newsletter will include information on 7 different “occupations” of Jewish religious leaders, past and present (& maybe even future!). This information was originally published in “Israel My Glory,” September/October 2001. I trust we who love the Jews will find this information enlightening.

Recently I’ve had a couple of people ask if there is any evidence apart from the Bible to substantiate the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. While I personally don’t need substantiation for the Bible from non-biblical sources, nevertheless, there are those who may and that’s ok. There is definitely substantial data that speaks of Jesus apart from the 66 books of the Bible. Always point skeptics and seekers to the Bible and the God of the Bible first and allow God the Holy Spirit to do His work in bringing someone to faith or to firmer faith. If the need arises for non-biblical evidence, rest assured that there is plenty. There are many books and articles that have been written and this one, written by Michael Gleghorn, is excellent and I’d like to share it with you in this monthly newsletter.

With this article you may think that I’ve gone from preaching/teaching, to meddling! I am sharing a few thoughts about that part of our human anatomy that all too often causes us big trouble, which is…? Wouldn’t it be great if our salvation brought about the total makeover of our mouth?...
