9/21/80 ‘To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven’– Eccles. 3.1 To all things worldly there is a beginning and a time to end, and then a new beginning is offered. In every age and culture human beings have felt the awesome presence of time. Our consciousness has been seared with the knowledge that all things worldly have a beginning and an end.  Our lives are bracketed by the twin moments of birth and... Read more

10/26/80 Psalm 103.7– “he made known his ways to Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.’  In the Old Testament, it is stated that the secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him.  That is one of the greatest verses in the Bible. But how much more wonderful are the words of Christ when he declares ‘I will love him and manifest myself to him.’ Even in our age, a closer walk with God will bring a... Read more

10/25/81 Ephes. 4.13—  ‘Until we all come unto a perfect/complete person, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ’ An intelligent person does not work without an aim.  God has a purpose for his universe. That purpose encompasses every part the universe, even the individual human being.  And He has definitely told us what our portion in this great purpose is.  To come unto perfection. Lest we misunderstand the ideal, he has defined perfection for us. It... Read more

Today is Ann’s and my 45th wedding anniversary—- and we are at the pyramids!!   How cool is that.   Here’s a shot from our 2004 trip. Notice that my group is sitting on the very bottom step of the Cheops pyramid. Notice how huge the stones actually are.   Sometimes 45 years of marriage seems to be an impossible hill to climb… like this pyramid.  But by the grace of God, and a lot of understanding and forgiveness of each other’s... Read more

7/25/1971 Romans 3.18— There is no fear of God in their eyes. Today, statistics show that the average individual has no fear of God. He or she does not live with eternity in view. He has forgotten that he is not an animal but rather is created in the image of God, a living soul. He is unaware that he will have to answer to God. He who has not vision of eternity has no hold on time.  I personally have... Read more

7/24/77— Genesis 1— God and Space The Bible tells me that in the beginning, God created heaven and earth, and he created all things. The Psalmist said the heavens are telling the glory of God.  So, God has been in the space business for a very long time.  According to Paul, it is God’s Son Jesus Christ who maintains the celestial bodies in their courses. The moon has been glorifying its creator for all time, simply by being the moon,... Read more

Of the making of books on the historical Jesus there is no end, and one can be forgiven when the P.R. for a particular book on this subject sounds more like hype than a fair and balanced study of one of the most important persons in all of human history.  In this case however, David Wenham has produced one of the very best assessments of the historical Jesus ever in print.  It is fair, it is balanced, it is not... Read more

8/4/1974 ‘Blessed are the peacemakers’ There is much being said today about peace, world peace. Our President has been working toward that goal. But the truth of the matter is, we shall never have peace until we have peace with God.  For every step we take toward God, we will be one step closer to peace. I was asked the question that if I had a problem to come up should I quickly make a decision on it or should... Read more

Get love into your life or... Read more
