keep, protect, preserve...

Jesus, on the day of His arrest, told His disciples: Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone.  Jn 16:32 One of the most frustrating aspects about the Christian walk is the fairly regular cycling in-and-out of relationship   […]

Christmas 2021 in Retrospect

I've noticed some churches struggling to bring forward a compelling Christmas message in light of present conditions. Traditional responses to the Christmas season used in years past just don't seem to cut it. It's almost like they don't quite "know how to be". One of the bright spots for  […]

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem..."

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling! Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’” Matt 23:37-39

"Why do the nations rage"

As a believer, it's easy to look at some of the news headlines, and quickly become dissillusioned.  Articles like this: Finnish Bishop charged over historic Christian teachings on human sexuality And this: Canadian Senate fast-tracks bill prohibiting “conversion therapy” It's interesting that almost  […]

"And each man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree..."

This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each of them with cane in hand because of their age. The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there.” Zech 8:4 This verse in Zechariah is looking forward, not  […]
