“You and God” features a repeat of a post published last fall about Kelvin Krueger, missionary to South Africa. Kelvin was released from lifelong disabilities Tuesday, February 2, and was ushered into his Savior’s presence. When doctors discovered a cranial tumor in Kelvin before he was five years old, they did not give him much hopeContinue reading “The Kelvinator”

Cheer Up Ye Saints of God
“Count it all joy” James, half-brother of Jesus, wrote to Hebrew believers about 30 years after Jesus had been crucified in Jerusalem by the Roman government at the behest of the Jewish nation. James calls them the “twelve tribes scattered abroad,” because a wave of harsh persecution against Jewish converts to Christianity broke out four orContinue reading “Cheer Up Ye Saints of God”
I Can’t Outrun Your Tears!
Each of the synoptic gospels gives us insight into a character trait that the Lord Jesus Christ possessed, one that every follower of His ought to strive personally to cultivate: compassion. It is a rare find today to see it evidenced in our skeptic-riddled world, which is so distrustful, so doubting and dubious of the motivesContinue reading “I Can’t Outrun Your Tears!”
Can it Be?
In my last post I told of Russian Pastor Georgi Vins exiled in 1979 from his homeland for the “crime” of preaching the gospel. He was separated from his family and his beloved home until the early 1990’s when the then Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev reversed the decree whereby Vins had been stripped of his SovietContinue reading “Can it Be?”
Suffering 21st Century Saints
About 25 years ago, an evangelist was able to organize a trip to Cuba, the window of opportunity opening for a limited time to travel there for humanitarian and educational purposes. It was a two-way arrangement with our neighboring nation just 90 miles southeast of Florida and the journey was one etched in my memory indelibly. AnotherContinue reading “Suffering 21st Century Saints”
On the Misty Flats
“To every man there openeth a way, and ways, and a way; And the high soul climbs the high way, and the low souls gropes the low. And in between, on the misty flats, the rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth a high way, and a low; And every man decideth theContinue reading “On the Misty Flats”
The Too Much With Us World
The world in which we live is under a divine curse and its days are numbered. By world, I do not mean the earth, though it too will one day be destroyed by fire as it once was by water, but by world I mean the cosmos of which every living being is a part: the political,Continue reading “The Too Much With Us World”
An Example You Should Do
He quietly said to me, “Pastor, I saw something that would make a good message for our Church sign: ‘Jesus knows me, this I love.’” And with that, a broad smile and pleasant chuckle, I gave John a thumbs up and we both agreed it was a winner. He went his way and I mine as I recalled theContinue reading “An Example You Should Do”
On The Rearing of Children
An insightful woman once said, “There is no calling more elevated in our society than that of being a parent, and no career for which there is less preparation.” I am not sure when that statement was first uttered, but in today’s world it might need amended to read “there is no calling more elevated inContinue reading “On The Rearing of Children”
New!
In that cataclysmic, eschatological vision that the aged Apostle John received and later recorded, the Revelation, detailing what he saw when he was “in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day,” John says, “And He that sat upon the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’” (Rev. 21:5). This just after John had seen “a newContinue reading “New!”
