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”

KEYS, KEYS, KEYS
We cannot help but notice people who carry massive numbers of keys hanging from their belt. I sometimes think how amazing it is that they are not bent to one side with the weight. I know that often the one key I need is the one that I do not possess or it has beenContinue reading “KEYS, KEYS, KEYS”
IDOLATRY
Recently I had my ire aroused by what I consider statements on the fringe of Idolatry; and perhaps, actual idolatry. While helping a friend with a problem, a visitor who says he too is a Christian, arrived on the scene. We were introduced and my friend made it a point to share with the visitorContinue reading “IDOLATRY”
UNDER OBLIGATION
Those words “jumped out” of the 14th verse of Romans 1; at least that is how they appeared to me during my reading of that chapter of the Word of God. The Lord Jesus had said that the Holy Spirit would be sent, and that His disciples would experience a whole new relationship to GodContinue reading “UNDER OBLIGATION”
24-HOUR COVERAGE
It’s the way my brain works. I see something small, and it might well be something of insignificance, but it “latches on” and turns into pondering. Ultimately, it will relate itself to some thought from the Scriptures that behind it has multiplied thoughts from other portions of the Word of God, the Bible. I wasContinue reading “24-HOUR COVERAGE”
MONEY
All of a sudden we are made aware of a crisis, and we presume that the solution to the whole matter is MONEY! Manipulative processes are applied that appear to tentatively resolve the problem. The real problem is much deeper than it first appears, and somewhere down the road, the chickens will come home toContinue reading “MONEY”
RE-BIBLE
The story is told of the villager, who returning to his own village did so with excitement. He told of his visit to the other village and proceeded to talk about what was taking place spiritually. Excitedly he said: “They are having a Re-Bible! In effect, he was right. When the fires of revival began,Continue reading “RE-BIBLE”
LITTLE ZACC
As we entered Jericho I observed a few people doing some digging. It was a number of people engaged in excavation… what a tedious job. However, something else caught my attention, bougainvilleas everywhere. I have never seen anything to equal that display! My mind immediately went back to the Scriptural story, in Luke 19 aboutContinue reading “LITTLE ZACC”
A SIGNIFICANT SYMBOL
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 The sound was arresting. Having awakened from a deep sleep, the quietness was being penetrated by the cooing of a doveContinue reading “A SIGNIFICANT SYMBOL”
STUBBORNNESS
“He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.” Proverbs 29:1 In the event that you find yourself “as stubborn as a mule”, unbending in your opinions, and becoming totally obnoxious unless things always go your way, you probably fit into the category of Proverbs 29:1. WeContinue reading “STUBBORNNESS”
