God is interesting. Here He is, the Holy One, for whom the angels can only declare that aspect of His character. As such He is the truest and greatest expression of purity in the universe. He abhors anything that is unlike Him in His holiness. What does He do? Sends the Lamb without blemish and […]
Read More Dealing With DefilingJesus teaches us to be people of peace. If someone strikes me on one cheek, I am to turn the other cheek. If someone takes my jacket, I should give him my shirt. My motives must never be driven with the selfish desire to gain the upper hand or get revenge. This is not of […]
Read More Family Values: Bible StyleYesterday you’d have noted I posted a verse from.the second letter of Peter. Here’s where I was coming from. It started with a conversation I held recently.

Read More How Now Shall We Live? An ExplanationFor what feels like years, part of the world of television advertising has been dominated by the GoCompare campaign.

Read More Beware The DisconnectI think sometimes we have it all wrong. I think sometimes we think the chief end of life is to be happy. Sometimes I get the impression we think that’s the goal.
