On the path .. how do you deal with opposition from within? There’s the cry to yield to temptation. To admit defeat to laziness. To confess the tendency to be apathetic. To concede a desire to avoid hardship. On the path .. how you cope with the opposition from without? Work pressures, home challenges, financial […]
Read More The Different Paths of RighteousnessPeace is a precious thing to treasure. By peace, I’m not referring to that sense of quiet you prefer to have if the children have been screaming all day, and the spouse has been nagging about something or other. Peace does not necessarily mean the absence of noise. God’s peace is profound and deep. It […]
Read More How To Lose The PeaceThe scene is very familiar. The two children are disciplined again for being naughty. The parents together agreed that the suitable response to the indiscretion was to ban the television watching for the evening. If the children follow this carefully, they will be allowed television watching as usual the next evening. As evening approaches the […]
Read More What He Said To YouI have nothing against youth ministries. I know a lot of work goes into engaging with children and young people helping to develop spiritual awareness, personal growth, social skills and even a sense of vocation.

Read More Taking Advice From The EldersMy desire in seeking God is to learn how to have fellowship in the light. Fellowship with Him and fellowship with others who seek Him. That is all. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden

I hope I […]
Read More Asking The Wrong Questions AgainSome of us are looking at 1 Kings. It’s a fascinating read. Take chapter 6 and 7. Compare the length of time it took to build the Temple for the Lord and how long it took to build his own crib. I had a problem with that, thinking that his palace took longer because it […]
Read More Giving To The Building ProjectEach instrument resound in praise. I get the song. (Another beauty from the Ron Kenoly album, God Is Able – can you believe it’s 20 years old this year?!!) It’s a great platform to let the instruments in the band praise God in their own way. It’s great to hear the sax, the trumpet, the […]
Read More CD Songs: Let The Sanctuary – Ron KenolyRome wasn’t built in a day. Apparently neither was Solomon’s temple built for the Lord God of Israel. There are some real precious verses in scriptures. The fact that it took seven years to build the great monument says much. It says that the best things come to those who wait. This is hugely reassuring […]
Read More Considering A Work In ProgressThere are pressures in life that try to force you to see the present in dismal ways. The state of your bank account, the things you haven’t done, relational demands, work deadlines and targets, the list goes on. Sometimes those pressures push us just to think the worst. Maybe it’s too much, maybe there are […]
