CASHING IN #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT Back in 1972, Jimmy Rush and his father were eating at Wintzell's Oyster House in Mobile, Alabama, when they spotted a sign on the wall. It was a joke, a classic piece of restaurant humor. It read: "Free oysters to any man 80 years old accompanied by his father."The staff told them the offer was technically genuine, but in the history of the place, no one had ever actually claimed it. It seemed impossible. But Jimmy and his dad decided right then to make it a...

There's a Snake in my…Helmet #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT First Peter chapter five verse eight "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." Last week at Maumelle High School in Arkansas, a football player suited up for practice like any other day. He pulled on his helmet, ran drills, hit the field for nearly an hour, never suspecting a two-foot venomous cottonmouth had tucked itself beneath the padding, resting inches from his skull the whole time. It wasn't until his coach ha...

THE WEIGHT OF THE CARRY#NightLightRTTBROS "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28I remember watching a tv show about a group of hikers on a trail a few years back. There was one guy who had a pack that looked like it belonged on a mule. It was oversized, overstuffed, and he was leaning forward just to keep from tipping over. Every few hundred yards, he’d stop, gasp for air, and shift the straps. He was exha...

THE COST OF A MIRACLE #RTTBROS #Nightlight"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" — Mark 8:36 Imagine the scene: a parking lot in New Zealand. A 54-year-old woman collapses. Her heart stops. For a few minutes, she is, by every medical definition, dead. Then, a stranger steps in, performs chest compressions, and pulls her back from the edge. She’s revived, rushed to the hospital, and given a second chance at life.It’s a miracle. A genuine, breath-returning miracl...

HOLDING ON #RTTBROS #Nightlight"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up." — Ecclesiastes 4:9–10Did you know that sea otters hold hands while they sleep? It’s not just a cute habit; it’s a survival strategy. They do it to keep from drifting apart in the current, forming what’s known as a "raft." And when the water...

THE PATIENCE OF THE SEED #RTTBROS #Nightlight#NightLight "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." — Galatians 6:9 (KJV) There is a species of plant called the Chinese Bamboo. When the seed is first planted, the farmer waters it and fertilizes it every single day. For the first year, nothing happens. Not a single sprout breaks the surface. The second year, the farmer continues the routine, watering, weeding, and waiting, and still, there is absolutely nothing to show for the effort....

Work On Your Attitude #RTTBROS #NightlightProverbs 23:7 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." I was thinking a lot about work lately, not just in ministry, but just the way we go about our day. You know, life throws these unpredictable traffic jams at us. One of those huge graders goes to work on a highway repair job. When the machine is operating on a busy road, traffic is halted and the cars lined up in opposite directions are allowed to proceed alternately.It...

Walk And Talk: The Journey #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

Knowing Where We Are GoingThere is a profound peace that comes from having a settled heart. This peace was beautifully illustrated by the legendary evangelist, Billy Graham. Many years ago, in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, Dr. Graham was invited to be honored by his hometown. At the time, he was struggling with the effects of Parkinson's disease and was hesitant to speak, fearing he could not deliver a great address. But the organizers simply asked him to come and be honored.When Dr. Graham stepped to the rostrum, he...

When Prayer Meets the Road #RTTBROS #Nightlight"And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived." Genesis 25:21Back in October of 2002, folks in the Washington, D.C. area were living under a cloud of fear that's hard to describe if you weren't there. For three weeks, somebody was shooting people at random, gas stations, parking lots, ordinary errands, and by the time it was over, ten people were dead and three more wounded. People pumped their gas...

Dealing With Anger #RTTBROS #Nightlight #BibleWisdomDaily Let me tell you something. I've been a custodian for over 20 years, and I've learned that when kids get angry, they make a mess. But let me just say, when adults get angry, we tend to make an even bigger one.I'm like Paul Harvey... 'Too soon old and too late smart.' I've spent 27 years in pastoral ministry and raising a family, and if there's one thing I know, it's that I haven't mastered anger. I've just gotten better at hiding it, or at least...

How To Soar #RTTBROS #Nightlight #BibleWisdomDailyThe other day I was out watering the flowers and I noticed a hummingbird feeding at some wildflowers that I had planted , And I started to think about our own efforts in faith. We build up a rhythm, don't we? A constant flapping. Dozens of beats a second, just to keep going. It's impressive, that hummingbird. It’s pure energy, and you know that if that frantic flapping stops for even a second, it hits the dirt. That’s how I think many of us get our faith—by she...
