We have been living in a period where liars abound! Then, maybe I am sufficiently ignorant that I lack the ability to discern who is telling me the truth. It is a sad commentary of our times when “trust” in what I am being told is negated, because there is such an abundance of “untruth”.Continue reading “OUR WORDS”

TRADITIONS OR TRUTH
I look back often at some of the things I acquired in my developing years, only to discover that they probably are more of tradition than what would be an understanding and application of the Word of God. An excellent illustration of this can be found in Mark 7. The chapter opens with a groupContinue reading “TRADITIONS OR TRUTH”
INFLEXIBLE PEOPLE
Have you taken time and opportunity, (which you have to create because of the crushing pressure of society, directly or indirectly, to mold you into its likeness); to study the last three days of Christ, leading to His crucifixion? To do so you will find yourself wondering how people can be so inflexible. As HeContinue reading “INFLEXIBLE PEOPLE”
HUBS AND SPOKES
In the process of fulfilling my responsibilities, quite frequently I pass a home with a most interesting display in the front yard. There is this old wagon from another era sitting on the corner of the front yard. As you travel through our area of the country, you run into this scene quite frequently. PerhapsContinue reading “HUBS AND SPOKES”
CONSTANT CONSIDERATIONS
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. (Stop) The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, but the mouth of fools spells folly. (Stop) The eyes of the Lord are in every place, watching the evil and the good. (Stop) A soothing tongue is a tree of life, butContinue reading “CONSTANT CONSIDERATIONS”

As I write this, we are in the midst of the impeachment hearings. Everyone is right, so they say; you and me? We are supposed to decide who is telling the truth, and to do so by evaluating everything we hear, including the commentators of the news media. Let’s face it, we have established ourContinue reading “DISTORTION”
WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD?
“Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints.” Colossians 1:4 Bermuda, it was where I was born and spent the first twenty years of my life. We always said: “Tell a story in Somerset and by the time you arrive in St. George, 19 miles down theContinue reading “WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD?”
LIARS
“Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No? For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.” 2 Corinthians 1:17, 20Continue reading “LIARS”
SINCERELY
“…that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ…” Philippians 1:10 While thinking of words utilized to close a letter one came up in a very prominent position, it was the word “sincerely”. On one occasion, I was telling a friend aContinue reading “SINCERELY”
