... in a desperate search for shelter, were trying to fly through the kitchen window. He was a very kind man so he tried to think of something he could do so the birds wouldn’t freeze. "The barn!" he thought. That would be a nice shelter. He put on his coat and overshoes and tramped through the deepening snow to the barn and opened the door wide and turned on the light. But the birds didn’t come in. Food will bring them in he thought. So he hurried back to the house for bread crumbs which he sprinkled on ...

"[He] commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey except a staff; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse." They were allowed to wear sandals but only one coat. That is how they travelled. But look also at what they did, "They went out, and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many devils, and annointed many that were sick and healed them." That is what they did. This was no mere headcount ...

Criswell tells of a man by the name of Tony, who came to his study each Sunday, helped him off with his coat, and hung it up on the rack. Then when the time came for Dr. Criswell to go to the pulpit, this man would go before him and hold the door open. This was all that he could do, but he did it as unto the Lord.

It was too well known politically, he concluded, and he did not wish to hang on to the coat tails of his brothers. The President asked, "What name are you going to ask for?" "Well," said Teddy, "I think I'll keep my first name. After all, I'm used to responding to that." "But for the last name I think I'd like Roosevelt." Well ...

You might have expected to see the young boy scrubbing the graffiti off the man's house or giving the house a new coat of paint. You might have expected his parents to ground him for a month for his offense. But you would have never expected to see him in the man's den working on his computer.

... But on the dock these massive pieces of steel crumbled. Actually that is not quite true. There was nothing left to crumble. Nothing was left of the 3/4 inch steel plate from which the stacks had been formed. All that remained were more than thirty coats of paint that had been applied over the years. The steel had rusted away. Is that not an analogy of what happens to some people's character? They give into temptation time and time again, until their inner moral fiber is eaten away. Fortunately, the converse ...

A bronze helmet, which was much too large, was placed on his head. Next he was enclosed in a protective coat of mail which was a few sizes too big and weighed him down considerably. Then Saul's sword was strapped over the suit of armor; the sheer weight of it alone almost knocked David down. David was so encumbered by all the armor that he could not ...
