There has to be something meaningful in this Corona-virus contagion! That was my thinking in the middle of the night. Gradually, it began to unfold one step at a time. With all of the churches having to close their doors to the general public, no matter their size, popularity, or extensive outreach, they became theContinue reading “TWOS AND THREES”

MOOSIK
In our modern society it is called “music”, and for that reason I find little reason to enjoy what comes over the airwaves. I gave up listening to it about the time Elvis was singing “You ain’t nothing but a hound-dog”. My wife, who was a extraordinary musician, had said so often: “I am gladContinue reading “MOOSIK”
BEEN THERE – DONE THAT
In the work of the Lord we are constantly pursuing in our thinking “ways” to improve the effectiveness of our ministry; and I am not alone in this area. I would be remiss if I did not admit to ending my thinking in the trash can far more often than continuing to pursue the ideaContinue reading “BEEN THERE – DONE THAT”
HE CARES FOR ME
Over the years, one of the important parts of our ministry has been to endeavor to encourage people who are going through troubled waters, and there are far more than we can ever imagine. Even those who appear to be “on top of the world” are experiencing pressures from encounters they are experiencing that othersContinue reading “HE CARES FOR ME”
AND WHO IS IMPORTANT
As a part of a group of ministers gathered for discussion and prayer, I found the subject of “Significant Ministries” quite interesting. I was intent on discovering what might be helpful to my own ministry. Suddenly, it dawned on me that the entire focus was on large churches with broad outreach ministries. I began toContinue reading “AND WHO IS IMPORTANT”
QUARRIED
In returning to Bermuda recently, I stood in the pouring rain for the funeral of a dear friend since childhood days. The pall bearers, because of the manner in which the graves are dug and covered with slate, found themselves standing on top of other graves. I was filled with emotion, thinking to myself howContinue reading “QUARRIED”
A HOUSE OF PRAYER
It has been said that Spurgeon was once asked the secret of such success in his ministry. Taking the individual by the hand and leading them to another room, he showed a crowded room of people, on their knees, praying for his ministry. Nothing that I know of could be more appreciated than the knowledgeContinue reading “A HOUSE OF PRAYER”
BUT THESE ARE WRITTEN
“And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.” John 21:25 I cannot say for certain, but in all probability, I was recommended to read the Gospel of John asContinue reading “BUT THESE ARE WRITTEN”
CALL UNTO ME
“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 I have some friends who have said from time to time, “If you ever have a need, feel free to call me.” What reassuring words to “carry in your pocket of remembrance”. Knowing them, I rest inContinue reading “CALL UNTO ME”
GOD’S WORD TRIUMPHS
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;It shall not return to Me void,But it shall accomplish what I please,And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 Some of you may wonder why we are devoting our time to this ministry at this stage of our lives, and I understandContinue reading “GOD’S WORD TRIUMPHS”
