What really is confusing is that some in the family says that it was believed to be entirely different and it must have been changed because of pressure; even mental deterioration may spring into the center of it. What a mess! That which catches my attention in Luke 12, where “someone in the crowd” wasContinue reading “THE FAMILY INHERITANCE”

THE FAMILY INHERITANCE
Jesus moves on to speak of the one who has great possessions. We read about and we hear about it constantly. Someone dies and all of a sudden there is an eruption in the family about what a WILL says or does not say; sometimes it does not even exist. What really is confusing isContinue reading “THE FAMILY INHERITANCE”
TO MY ACCOUNT
Recently I received a letter telling me that I had failed to pay a bill that I owed. That was not the case, and so the argument in my mind began to develop so that I might get it all corrected. My first action was to get my brain in the proper attitude before IContinue reading “TO MY ACCOUNT”
SAUL … IN AGREEMENT
How long does one hold something over another person’s head? You are in a conversation, in a group more-so, and a name is mentioned, someone quickly inserts an incident that took place or was supposed to have taken place thirty years previously. It may be an insinuation with no accuracy, and yet the expression onContinue reading “SAUL … IN AGREEMENT”

Years ago packages had to be “sealed”, if they were certified or insured. I recall using theContinue reading “SEALED”

(Ephesians 1:12) “To the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.” I often think of HeavenContinue reading “HIS GLORY”
HOW RICH I AM
When in Bermuda Commercial School, we had a teacher, an old fashioned Methodist, who was intent on teaching us a subject beyond accounting, etc… She began each day with Scripture and prayer and required that we memorize some of those verses. Admittedly, at that stage of my life I was not “into” such thinking. ShortlyContinue reading “HOW RICH I AM”
BUZZARDS EVERYWHERE
The Wikieup Bible Church is located on the side of a hill overlooking the little town of Wikieup. Approximately five miles before one enters the town, you can spot the little church sitting all alone. It has remained a beacon in that town for many years. Interestingly enough, it is not always appreciated or endorsedContinue reading “BUZZARDS EVERYWHERE”
AWAKE
Conducting special meetings on the banks of the Yukon River in Alaska, the village of Eagle, was somewhat of an education to say the least. The Missionary informed me that in order to acquire a congregation for the service, we would probably find it necessary to knock, visit and invite at each home just priorContinue reading “AWAKE”
