Inner Beauty
You have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” (Romans 8:15). Claire attended a church college ministry I was involved in several years ago. On a physical, material level, Claire had absolutely nothing going for her. She had a dumpy figure and a bad complexion. Her father was […]
Stickability
Do you sometimes wonder about the wisdom of our more mature citizens who take up jogging? The running bug seems to have bitten many people over the past few years. Once it was only the athletic types who ran, those who were intent on getting medals and trophies and who wore club vests. Now, nearly […]
That’s Life
We once lived in the Huon Valley, south of Hobart in Tasmania. The normally tranquil Huon River that has its origins in the rugged southwest wilderness, home of the famous Huon Pine, flows along the bottom of our garden and out to sea. Two years ago we had several floods, one very serious, that brought […]
The Renewal Of Your Mind
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2). If the strongholds in your mind are the result of conditioning, then you can be reconditioned by the renewing of your mind. Anything that has been learned can be unlearned. Certainly this is the major path of […]
Superstitions
Please Pass The Salt Are you superstitious? There are some people who, whenever they spill salt at the table, are careful to throw some over their shoulder to keep off bad luck.

A Word About Prayer
PRAYER is not a tool where we take our turn to get what we want – RATHER – PRAYER is a school where we must learn to want what we get People, “prayer changes things” only after HE changes our prayers. William Kilgore
“Spiritual Trees”
Read: Psalm 1 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season. -Psalm 1:3 Godly men and women are compared in Scripture to sturdy, healthy trees, planted by the rivers of water, laden with fruit, and full of leaves (Ps. 1:3; 104:16). In order […]
Scarred Love
by Thomas F. Fischer The awe-filled Holy Week has come again. Though Christians throughout the world observe it in a most traditional fashion, the repeated remembrance is anything but routine. The glorious but humble entrance into the Holy City on a donkey is superseded only by a more humble sight: the blood-filled, pierced, and lifeless […]
“Who Killed The Dead Sea?”
Read: Luke 6:30-38 There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty. -Proverbs 11:24 The Dead Sea died of stinginess. Year after year it has received and not given. It has an inlet but no outlet. Likewise, the person who takes […]
Commitment
No Interest? Read: 2 Peter 1:1-11 If these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. -2 Peter 1:8 At the close of a meeting where the topic was world evangelism, a young woman turned to an older believer and admitted, “I just […]
