It seems most of the world, whether or not they believe in Him, celebrates the birth of Jesus, many not even be aware that they mark their calendars from His advent. Elaborate parties are held, but all too often the One Whose birth is being celebrated is not acknowledged and, sometimes, not even invited!! As [...]

Precious Promises
Posted in Spiritual, tagged Faith, His purposes, hope, promise, promises, timeless on December 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Referring again to a quotation in my last letter from 2 Peter 1:4 & 5, a further thought stood out to me concerning God’s “precious and wondrous promises” which He has given to us. The phrase “in order that” explains the purpose for these wondrous promises. They are given in order that- through them – [...]
Boundless Wealth

There are two interesting stories that portray similar spiritual principles. The first story was told by Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, about a Texas sheep rancher during the depression years when times were very hard and there was rarely enough income to pay all the bills. Consequently, many families had to [...]
Grace Great Enough

Having mothered six children, been involved with our own business, and having been active in our local Church for many years, I know what it’s like to be overwhelmed with daily activities. I can relate to some of my readers who are ‘stressed out’ with modern day pressures and demands. Over the last number of [...]
What is Truth?
Posted in Spiritual, tagged Jesus, Pilate, Truth on October 30, 2010 | 1 Comment »
“WHAT IS TRUTH?” This is a crucial question for which, sooner or later, we all must find the answer. It was asked of Jesus during his trial before Pilate, the Roman Governor. And it has come down through the ages to every individual. Truth is defined as conformity to fact or reality; factual; absolute; constant; [...]
The Greatest of These
Posted in Spiritual, tagged 1 Cor. 13, Faith, hope, love on October 21, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Dear Friends, “And now abides FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.” (1 Cor. 13:13) The context of this reassuring declaration is that, for the present, we have only limited sight, seeing things as if in a mirror dimly. And the knowledge we have is very limited and imperfect. But [...]
Walk in Love

Dear Friends, It is a while since my last posting. During this time we have experienced the loss of a dear friend – a loss to us, but a glorious gain for her. Thank God for the confident expectation we have in the promise of re-union in the resurrection. From HOPE and FAITH we move [...]
Have Faith in God

Dear Friends, FAITH is the first of the triad of that which “abides,” and is very closely related to HOPE and LOVE. In my last letter regarding our HOPE in God, I stated that “Biblical hope is inseparable from Faith in God. It is not merely a wish or a want but, rather, a confident [...]
Hope Thou in God

“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? HOPE THOU IN GOD: for I shall yet praise Him who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” In one of our recent devotional readings, I was very much inspired by this phrase and determined to see what [...]
God’s Mysterious Ways

Dear Friends, There is an interesting statement in Romans 14:7 that is an oft quoted adage: “For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.” How often is that an applicable reality in the little events of everyday life. I have often been awed by the thought of a person’s life [...]
