Step out of the Boat Conference
| March 1, 2021For several years, the Lord has burdened me to host a conference—a conference where people from all walks of life gather together in one place to get challenged and be encouraged to walk in the fullness of God. In 2020, Joseph Graber, myself and a few other godly men met in Holmes County to discuss the details, come up with a date and find a place to meet, but it never happened. I’m not sure why, other than it was not God’s timing. But now that we have entered 2021, I am thoroughly convinced that we must move forward with this conference.
My Dad
| March 1, 2021This morning I am thinking about my dad. He was always on the quiet side, and worked hard all his life. He would spend a lot of time in our small shop at home—that is how he got the nickname “Tinker Dan”.
Living in a Snow Globe
| March 1, 2021Have you ever shaken a snow globe? One moment the world inside the globe is picture-perfect. The next, everything is a swirling mess of glitter and confusion until it all settles down again.
Witchcraft
| March 1, 2021WITCHCRAFT: The use of spells, invocation of spirits, communication with the devil or a familiar spirit or medium.
The Fruit of a Repentant Heart
| March 1, 2021I have no idea where your mind goes when you think of repentance. Maybe you think about a confession, or the words, “I’m sorry.” Maybe you think about King David and his repentance.
Embracing Divinely Created Womanhood
| March 1, 2021God’s Word has so much to teach us about womanhood and its beautiful place to play in God’s plan on earth. So many of these truths are missed, forgotten, and ever perverted by false religion. Let’s go to the Word to find some of these.
Wolves Dressed in Sheep's Clothing, by AM
| March 1, 2021Please do not send us a single issue of the false doctrine you print. It is clearly false doctrine. The Lord will judge. The reason we unsubscribed is because of false doctrine, and did not Jesus say we should be careful of wolves that come dressed in sheep clothing. No, it’s not even dressed in sheep clothing - it’s wolves through and through. Don’t want to hear more from you.
Our Children
| March 1, 2021Since I have time on my hands, I thought I would take a peek, a reality-centered, Kingdom-focused, Biblical look at things involved in raising children.
Not Interested in your So-Called Amish Voice, by SG
| March 1, 2021We are not interested in your so called Amish Voice. Is it honest and upright to call it Amish? I know of no Old Order Amish that believes as you do. Paul said that you will be saved through hope. I think it is yours that need to read the whole Bible—won’t you?
In This Journey Called Life
| January 4, 2021A poem written by a former Amish woman about following Christ and receiving the healing that only He can offer.
A Teaspoon of Honey and Goodness of God
| January 1, 2021Some things are impossible to forget. Some things are impossible to forget. I can still hear the sound of his boots on the wood as he raced up the stairs after me. I can hear the door slam. But the loud beats of my heart nearly stopped when he grabbed me and I looked into his eyes.
Well Written and Theologically Sound, By EO
| January 1, 2021Dear sir, I don't know who might have submitted my name and address, but I am thankful that I had the opportunity to read the Amish voice. It is very well written and theologically sound.
How to Talk with Others about Spiritual Matters
| January 1, 2021Suppose you are somewhere with a group of men or women from church, and one of them begins talking about Jesus Christ. What is your reaction? Can you join in the conversation, or do you get an uncomfortable feeling in your stomach and wish that the conversation would soon change subjects?
Who Cast Jonah into the Sea?
| January 1, 2021Christians always talk about how Jonah was cast into the sea by the men who ran the ship. And, that of course is backed up by the following Scripture in Jonah 1:15.
Unless You Become Like a Child
| January 1, 2021“And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:13).
These words, spoken by the eternal Son of God, the Creator of the universe, the One who holds the keys to God’s Kingdom as well as to death and Hades, and before whom everyone must one day stand in judgment to give an account, would seem worthy of our consideration (Mark 1:1; Col. 1:16; Matt. 6:19; Rev. 1:8; 2 Cor. 5:10; Acts 10:42).
Do Not Fear
| January 1, 2021What is today the most disobeyed, neglected, and ignored commandment that Jesus gave? 144 times in scripture, I find these words, “Fear not.” This is not talking about the fear of God. That is a completely different kind of fear. The fear that we that will look at is about worry, anxiety, fret, etcetera.
I'm Interested in Writing Religious Books, By DF
| January 1, 2021My address speaks for itself about where I’m at. I’m interested in writing religious books, therefore my chaplain directed me to write you a letter. I have an unfinished manuscript that consists of multiple sermons that were written in church, word for word, and then translated into English.
The Struggles of Marriage
| January 1, 2021Did you know that marriage is crazy hard? If you're married, I'm sure you can relate.
Christian or Disciple?
| November 1, 2020Many people consider themselves to be a Christian. A lot less people would say that they are disciples of Jesus. Jesus never used the word ‘Christian,’ but He often used the word ‘disciple.’ He used this word not only for the twelve men who followed Him, but also for anyone else who followed him, or anyone who would follow him in the future.
The Pharisees—and What God Really Wants
| November 1, 2020Am I a Pharisee? I recently found myself asking this question while reading in the book of Matthew. No, I haven't rejected Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, as the Pharisees did. And I don't do good things so that other men will admire me. But, I noticed something in this passage that stood out to me – Jesus was warning the Pharisees that they were doing the little things, but yet they were omitting [not doing] the weightier matters of the law.
Women and Their Responsibility in Marriage
| November 1, 2020I grew up as a tiny girl on a dairy farm in an Amish Mennonite community in Canada. One of my main goals and dreams in life was to be the best wife that I could possibly be. I would always be willing to serve.
Ordnung vs Love for God, By BR
| November 1, 2020Just a few lines to thank you for this publication. I enjoyed it very much! I hope to be kept on your mailing list. 25 years ago my dad said he feels our Amish people are losing what our forefathers believed. To live for God and not just follow the Amish ordnung, but to realize it’s a separate thing.
Don't Blame Satan!
| November 1, 2020Recently, I am seeing and hearing so much about looking at the positive and not the negative - which is good. So let's quit giving the devil credit for messing up our lives, and start praising God for allowing the amount of trouble in our lives that it takes to for us to grow into a deeper relationship with Him!
Wealth and Power
| November 1, 2020Have you ever asked yourself: Why are the ungodly so blessed with wealth? As of May 17, 2020, Jeff Bezos (Head of Amazon) tops out at $145.4B. Bill Gates, at #2, is worth 104.8B. Mark Zuckerberg, at #4, is worth 77.8B. Between the three, they have 326 billion dollars.
Twist, Turn, and Leave things out of Scripture, By AM
| November 1, 2020It irritates me greatly to see how people twist & turn & leave some things out of scripture so they don’t have to feel guilty.
The Root Cause of Anxiety
| September 1, 2020We humans, men and women, have this inner desire to say how things should be done – what OUR minds interpret as the best way. When things aren't going that way, we get frustrated, or anxious, or angry, depending on how passionate we are about being in control. So the "DESIRE TO CONTROL" is the culprit!
Do You Feel Safe?
| September 1, 2020I’ve been a Christian for over 43 years now. I feel that I’ve learned some things in those years. One thing I recognize in myself is my need to feel safe. I know that it’s not entirely possible to feel safe 100% of the time. Circumstances sometimes dictate otherwise.
Read Cover to Cover, By EO
| September 1, 2020 I don’t know who might have submitted my name and address, but I am thankful that I had the opportunity to read The Amish Voice. I seldom read anything cover to cover, but this was an exception. It is very well written and theologically sound.
Letter to the Sexually Abused
| September 1, 2020It may be that no one else knows about what happened to you. I am so sorry that you have had to go through this alone. You are not a coward at all for not saying anything to anyone. I can absolutely understand why you may be afraid to speak up.
Sometimes
| September 1, 2020This poem is dedicated to all the little girls and boys who can relate first-hand to the inner turmoil and conflicting emotions that abuse brings. May God heal you and give you a purpose for your pain.
