VBS 2008 - In Baptist circles, nobody has to explain what the letters VBS stand for because it is so much a part of our church culture and such a wonderful part of our spiritual heritage. You can mention it anytime, anywhere, and people from the youngest to the oldest will know what VBS is. For me, I went to VBS before I even knew what the letters were or before I knew who I was. I went on attending VBS until I got old enough that I had a summer job and had to go to work instead of VBS. Vacation Bible School is a wonderful experience for millions of kids who attend and thousands of wonderful leaders who work during that special period of time each year. (more)

Your thoughts initiated a chain of ideas that led away from the sermon, and, before you knew it, the sermon ended. You looked around and wondered what the preacher said.

Jacob told them to go back, but Judah reminded him, “The man warned us solemnly, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’” (Genesis 43:3-NIV) Judah responded to his father that either Benjamin would go with them, or none of them would go. He, then, made a pledge to his father, “I myself will guarantee his safety . . .” (43:9) Jacob was persuaded to let Benjamin go and outlined a plan. (43:11-14) (more)
