It might be ragged and torn, it's cover has faded to gray; But the words in the Bible were true then, and still hold true today. God's holy words need no help, they can stand on their own; Even though they are rearranged...........and put down in verse and song. Don't...
Let’s suppose that the Bible isn’t true. What do you suppose would happen to me and you? I can decide what I want to do. What’s true for me, may not be true for you. Now, let’s say that there is no God. Who’s to say what is normal, or odd? If there’s no such thing as...
‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me’ is an old saying that has come unstuck. It is just not true and if you have ever been the target of harsh words, you know it. They really do hurt and they hurt badly. I am sure we have all felt at...
It is a tough call to own a motor car that runs on LP gas* instead of on conventional petrol. It has advantages but the serious downside is that if you run out of fuel you are stuck. You can’t borrow a litre or two from a passing motorist or walk down to the nearest...

"Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little, Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him." (Psalm 2:12 KJV) "Who hath ascended up into heaven or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath...
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1) Things can change in a hurry. The first week of September, the narrow white-trunked aspen trees were very green due to a long wet summer season. Three days later, they...
Last week, in The Wilderness Experience, Part 4, we discovered that when Jesus refused to jump off the pinnacle of the temple, He left us with the ultimate example in trust. We don’t need outward signs of God’s power. We need to know the miracle worker, and we need...
