The illustration of the Bullfrogs & Butterflies - What Is Meant By the Term "Born Again"? provides us a great illustration in nature of what it means to be a born again Christian. It takes a transformation, a "new birth" to bring about what God wants us to be. We must be born again.

The illustration of the The By-Whiskey Speech - A Misleading Equivocation provides us a great example of how lies and deceptions can easily be taken as truth. Equivocation is a word seldom heard in our society, but it is practiced frequently by politicians and persons in authority who have no moral compass.

The illustration of the God Never Sleeps provides us a great example of how we should not let fear control our lives. As Christians, we must put our faith into action. If we have faith in God, there is no reason to fear. He is in control. We must have faith as like little children.

The illustration of the The Beauty Remains, the Pain Passes provides us a great example of the virtue of patience in regard to why we need it in our daily lives. As Christians, with faith comes patience. If we know God has told us to do something or he has given us a passion to do something our lives, we need to do it in season and out of season.

The illustration of the The Dog You Feed provides us a great example of conscience and the common sense of the Bible. Many of us are feeding the "bad dog" everyday be it lying, stealing, overindulging, hating, and so on. And then we wonder why bad things happen and why do we not have closer relationship with God.

The illustration of the The Bad Egg Omelet, We Cannot Save Ourselves provides us a great example of how we can neither be saved or holy through our good works. All we need to have is a "little sin" (a bad egg) for God to reject us. God cannot be in the presence of sin and none of us are perfect. Our only salvation is Jesus.

The illustration of the Choose How You Start Your Day provides us a great example of the all the choices we make every day. Many of us think we do not have many choices in life, but we do. We choose how we react to situations. We can react in a positive way or a negative way. From a Christian perspective, we choose Jesus everyday. We can choose to follow Jesus or not to follow him.

The illustration of the Young Man Seeking Wisdom From Socrates provides us an example of how the desire for wisdom must come before we can acquire wisdom. Wisdom only comes from intense desire. When it comes to God's wisdom, we must rigorously read the Bible to gain his wisdom. Only through intense desire will we gain in wisdom to know God and to grow closer to him.

The illustration of the Steps to Revival provides us an example of revival and the steps that lead to revival. James Packer tells us that "Revival is the visitation of God which brings to life Christians who have been sleeping and restores a deep sense of God's near presence and holiness.
