We have all had tough times to get through where we wonder why this could be happening to us. Some may turn to the Lord for help or comfort while dealing with these painful times. Others try to cure their pain by reasoning it out somehow with their powers of mental capacity. But perhaps we... Continue Reading →
The Cup That the Father Gives
A very dear friend of the family just sent us word on his current situation of health. This person has been an inspiration to me towards spiritual growth all my life and has been to me like a second earthy father. He is not overly advanced in years but is suffering a terminal illness. His... Continue Reading →
The Supernatural
Perhaps one of the touchiest subjects within the body of believers today is the one about the supernatural. Just where do we draw the line. We teach our kids not to be scared of monsters and ghosts saying that they do not exist. We may brush off a sci-fi film or horror film with the... Continue Reading →
And They Didn´t Believe
There is an amazing thing that happens with the sacred scriptures. Words written to instruct or help a people in a certain time can and do have the power to speak in an equally important way to another people in a completely different situation and a different age.

What a power packed text! There is enough good hearty instruction here to set souls free and deliver them again into the hand of the One to whom we belong. Long I have felt the importance and seen the beauty of this text. But today I stopped while reading over it. So many of the... Continue Reading →
John 11:4 ¨This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God is glorified thereby. (American Standard Version)
True to the usual way of Jesus, when He spoke, the words addressed a common situation. As we see continually throughout the Bible, men and women look with earthly eyes at the passing scenes and take always the physical and the common interpretations of those moments. However Jesus was constantly trying to tell us and... Continue Reading →
Early Division within the Church
For many years I have quietly suffered over the divisions in the body of Christianity. It seems such a shame that people, having the freedom to focus on anything they choose, prefer to direct their efforts not at the One whose name they use, but on any and all other issues that must pass before...
