What Are You Worth?
Read: Psalm 8 When I consider Your heavens, …what is man that You aremindful of him? -Ps. 8:3-4 Sometimes an enemy of God’s truth becomes a truth- teller withoutintending to be. Celsus, a 2nd-century Roman philosopher, sought to discreditbiblical faith. He wrote in his book True Discourse, "The root ofChristianity is its excessive valuation of […]
The Problem With Critics
Read: Nehemiah 4:1-6 There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, butthe tongue of the wise promotes health. -Proverbs 12:18 Critics talk much and do little that is constructive. They are moreinterested in trying to make themselves look good by making others lookbad. If Nehemiah had listened to his critics, the wall […]
God Loves You!
He [Christ] is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2 NIV). When Mandy came to see me, she appeared to have her life all together. She was a Christian who was very active in her church. She had led […]
Joy
Are you joyful? Do you think that it’s possible to be really joyful, especially in the world we live in today, with all its sadness and grief, its violence and unfairness? I ask myself that question and I must say that I am joyful, most of the time. And so I should be. I have […]
The Goodness Of God
(C.H.Spurgeon) "Thou crownest the year with thy goodness." – Psalm 65:11 All the year round, every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us; both when we sleep and when we wake his mercy waits upon us. The sun may leave us a legacy of darkness, but our God never ceases to shine upon […]
Feelings And Behaviour

One of the first emotions expressed by fallen humanity was fear (Genesis 3:10). Today fear is crippling our relationships and activities. Fear […]
What Is This Thing Called Love?
Part 1 (Part 2 next week) Maybe its my imagination, but people seem to be much nicer in times of adversity. As I look back over the past few months and remember natural disasters, terrorist attacks, train and aircraft crashes, my impression of the newsreel coverage is that people rally round to comfort and help. […]
The Power To Choose
Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve. . . . As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD (Joshua 24:15). Adam and Eve’s sin also affected the area of their will. Do you realize that in the Garden of Eden they could only make one wrong choice? Everything they wanted to […]
Passion For God [1]
“I had some feleing in the passion Of Christe, but yet I desired more be the grace of God – and after lyven more to the worshippe of God ” Julian of Norwich, II As an introduction to the “revelations” that follow, Julian tells us that she had “some time earlier” asked three things of […]
Cleansing From Sin (Spurgeon)
"The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." – 1 John 1:7 "Cleanseth," says the text-not "shall cleanse." There are multitudes who think that as a dying hope they may look forward to pardon. Oh! how infinitely better to have cleansing now than to depend on the bare possibility of forgiveness […]
