Reviewing the life of Jesus, most of what we know was recorded by the disciples, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. The close association contributed to the occasional discussion among themselves, with their limited understanding of who He was, and what He was doing! We are made aware of one of those conflicts here in John 21!Continue reading “PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY”

NEVER FORGET
We often joke about our forgetfulness as we grow older. We sometimes, but not too often, have nothing to joke about. It did not take long after I became a Christian to realize, that in the process of studying the Scriptures that sometimes forgetfulness is a convenience and ends up as sin that I shouldContinue reading “NEVER FORGET”
SPONGE CAKE
I have many dear friends in Bermuda, my place of birth a few years back. Among them have been Joel and Jane Madeiros. Their home has been our home whenever we return. Jane went “home” to be with the Lord, and I returned for her funeral. At the funeral I mentioned how Jane always preparedContinue reading “SPONGE CAKE”
WHERE RIGHTEOUSNESS DWELLS

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”
RECIPROCITY
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7 From the inherited old nature, people love to “get even”. There is somewhat of a conflict in the brain, but it is a seepingContinue reading “RECIPROCITY”
DENIALS
From earliest childhood, I can recall how I endeavored to utilize denials to achieve my desired goals; I suspect I was not alone in this sort of challenge, and I remember all too well my parents efforts to keep me in tow. When I became a Christian, I found myself facing the challenge alone withContinue reading “DENIALS”
