First John 2:3-5 says: “By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the loveContinue reading “HE WAS A CONTRADICTION”

RECONCILIATION
Individuals have their “hurts” that need healing, but reaction has replaced response, and we are revealing more and more of the “old-nature”, of which the Scriptures teaches us is inherited at birth. The Apostle reminds the Ephesian believers of the bitterness that existed between those Gentiles, referred to as the “Uncircumcision”, whose identity related toContinue reading “RECONCILIATION”
ONENESS
When a recent newspaper article related the theft of mercury and its resultant effects on those who had been exposed to the fumes inherent in the product, my mind went back to my childhood and the lighthouse in which my father was employed. Twelve hundred pounds of mercury lay in a trough on which aContinue reading “ONENESS”
HOPE!
I tell people all the time that I have HOPE! I entered the Dr’s office, and immediately I was reminded that I had to keep my “mask” in place. I get to the counter and they check out my information and discover that I do have an appointment, I am on time, and I canContinue reading “HOPE!”
YOUR OWN TICKET
She was no psychic; she was far from delusional. There was nothing in her demeanor that threw up a red flag in my mind throughout our conversation. She was a retired schoolteacher with very good balance in her rationale. The story began as she said, “There is a picture of my husband. He died aboutContinue reading “YOUR OWN TICKET”
FULLY CONVINCED
Shortly after placing my faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I was ready to take on anybody and everybody about my discoveries as I read the Scriptures. Some of the things were quite simple to understand, but some of them did not seem to make sense with other things I read. I wasContinue reading “FULLY CONVINCED”
A TALL HEADSTONE
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:8 Had you grown up where I did, one prominent headstone in the graveyard of St. Anne’s Church, Southampton, Bermuda would have caught your eye, just as it did mine. That churchyard, likeContinue reading “A TALL HEADSTONE”
A COMFORTER
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. MattHEW 11:28 Our recent return to my homeland, the Island of Bermuda, produced much by way of reflection. As the plane began its descent, the Captain announced the arrival time in Bermuda to be in approximately thirty minutes. As the minutesContinue reading “A COMFORTER”
OUT OF THE SLAVE MARKET
Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 1 Peter 1:18-19 You probably read the same thing that I did: “A four day week is being suggested.” Fortunately, my father did notContinue reading “OUT OF THE SLAVE MARKET”
ARE YOU THIRSTY?
Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” jOHN 4:13-14 Many of us can well remember whenContinue reading “ARE YOU THIRSTY?”
