Best of Walker Moore

Too often, I look at something, and the first thought that comes to mind is: that’s not right. I don't know why, but I shake my head from side to side whenever that thought reaches my consciousness. Not long ago, a friend sent me a picture from a store that features...

Curiosity is the hallway that leads to the doors of adventure and discovery. I haven’t lost much of the curiosity I had as a child. I consider myself one of the more fortunate ones. In some ways, curiosity is what drives me. “What’s on the other side of that hill?”...

It was the apostle Paul who said, “Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am...

I was born in Marshall, Missouri. Soon afterward, my family moved to Kansas City, and later, across the state. When my grandparents died, my parents decided to take up farming again on the old home place in Marshall. Every trip we made to town included a stop at the...

Some of Jesus’ greatest teaching occurred when His disciples least expected it. It seems to me that He liked to share key truths not at a designated hour or place but at random, unexpected times and locations. I believe He still teaches that way. Often, we are in such...

My wife and I were discussing the fact that the Super Bowl is numbered using Roman numerals. She asked me, “How do you get a 56 out of LVI?” I explained that the “L” stands for “50,” and she told me that in her little two-room country schoolhouse, they never made it...
