WOULD YOU HIRE HIM?
He wasn’t your usual preacher. This man had taken a vow at the beginning of his life, to serve God. He would separate himself from society – not indulge in things of the world – live alone as a hermit for … Continue reading
CHOICES
Every day we’re confronted with choices. We decide what we’ll wear, whether or not to eat breakfast, should we shovel the driveway before leaving for work or wait until we get home? Those are easy choices, except maybe the one … Continue reading

UPSIDE DOWN
I’m not one to get on my soap box to spread gloom and doom. I’d much rather talk about the peace we can achieve through reading the scriptures. However, even in the Bible, there are stories of perversion of truth, … Continue reading
BROKEN
“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on … Continue reading
CACOPHANY

HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD
In 1999, an adventure/horror movie called “The Mummy” hit the big screen and we were witness to the dead coming back to life – embalming garb and all. Flesh began to cover near skeletal bodies – muscle replaced withered flesh … Continue reading
SATURDAY THOUGHTS
In a world confused about morality, conscience and sin, we’re faced with a real dilemma. The evil of this world has slowly deteriorated to the point of obliterating the truth of God. Our inability to accept the word “sin” has … Continue reading
