“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.” (Eph. 4:26,27). The Lord Jesus was demonstrably angry on more than one occasion, two of them recorded in the gospels when He visited the Temple and seeing the money changers desecrating His Father’s House, He turned theirContinue reading “Managed Anger”

Golden Opportunities
Having been shut in or semi-shut in for weeks during the 2020 Coronavirus outbreak, we have been driven to slow down and to reevaluate what we do, when we do it and why. Lessons too many to enumerate have come to the forefront, but here is one that has been apparent to our family: we have hadContinue reading “Golden Opportunities”
End of World Issues
In the last week of His life on earth with His disciples, the men who had followed Him closely during the three plus years of Christ’s pre-crucifixion ministry asked Him point blank what would be a sign of the end of the world. Two thousand years ago committed disciples of Jesus Christ had the questionContinue reading “End of World Issues”
Lord, Make Me A Man
To the memory of fathers whose lives are a finished work; and in loving reverence of all Dads living on this year’s Father’s Day, I’d like to share a poem I penned a few years ago which perhaps reflects the deepest desire of every godly father’s heart: Lord, make me a man; A man notContinue reading “Lord, Make Me A Man”
“And he gave some…evangelists….”
That’s right. The Lord God, when building His Church, gave to it not only apostles and prophets, but evangelists. These are gifted people who have been burdened and blessed with a desire to evangelize lost souls and strengthen weary churches. In the era of the church-age in which we now live, we have come to consider the giftedContinue reading ““And he gave some…evangelists….””
All Lives Matter
Life is precious, so much so that Jesus asked that if a man should gain the whole world and would lose his own soul what would he be profited? “Or, what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:36, 37). We have been asked to give consideration to the value of all lives, andContinue reading “All Lives Matter”
Conduct of Kindness
“In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.” (Isa. 54:8) Bombarded day by day and hour by hour by images of anarchy, rebellion, rioting and ruthlessness, triggered by a Memorial Day image of police brutalityContinue reading “Conduct of Kindness”
Where Have All the Families Gone?
Most who read this will have been a member of what has been known as a “Nuclear Family,” consisting of a Mom and Dad and usually at least two children. The family of four was a post-war phenomenon that flourished from 1950 to the mid 1960’s, a “golden era” of prosperity in the United States whenContinue reading “Where Have All the Families Gone?”
Life Molders
Some time ago in a college art class-room, the teacher, having prepared a ball of clay for each student, following roll-call, began to pitch one of those balls to each student present. When every student had received their clay, the teacher announced: “Make something beautiful of this and I’ll give you a good grade.” What a challenge. TakeContinue reading “Life Molders”
