This episode centers on readings from “The Great Rest Giver” by William Haig Miller. It was published in London about 1891. Walt found a print version of the book in a large Detroit bookstore. The theme centers on Matthew 11:28-30 in which Christ speaks of true, Christ-given rest.
The Christmas season is often a time for nostalgia and looking back to our past holiday experiences. Some are wonderful to remember. Some can be painful. Can we remember the future as well as the past at Christmas time?
As we remember the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ just over 2000 years ago, we find that old Christmas carols point us forward in time to the return of Christ. In our memories of Christmas past, we have memories of a future time.

This episode looks at the Lord Jesus’ declaration “I am the Light of The World” in John 8:12. It examines how this declaration, made by Christ at the Feast of Booths fulfills the type of the pillar of fire by night and pillar of cloud by day as found in the book of Exodus.
Where can we see the light of Christ’s glory?
The Apostle Paul compares the first light spoken by God (“Let there be light”) with the light spoken into believers in Christ. Believers are a microcosm of the universe. It started in darkness; So did we; For a believer in Christ, Christ’s light of glory is spoken into us. The episode explores the themes of Christ, light and glory.

Episode 94 features an exploration of and readings from “The Soldier’s Pocket Book”, a small devotional book created for soldiers fighting in the American Civil War (1861-1865).
While originally written for soldiers in the mid-19th century United States, its contents on prayer, Bible, hymns and exhortations on living the Christian life would make a fine devotional (for soldier or non-soldier) in the early 21st century.
