Tuesday, January 29th, 2008The New Year is a great time for a fresh start, isn’t it. So we make a resolution – maybe a whole list of them.

The Patience of a Farmer
Saturday, December 29th, 2007Patience is essential for the farmer. A farmer must continue looking positively toward the future during dry spells, unpredictable weather and equipment failures. Patience is essential because a farm does not produce cash on a daily basis, it may take months or years for the farmer to get paid.
Patience is essential for you and […]
You Can Know
Monday, October 29th, 2007If I would take apart my wristwatch, tiny screw by tiny screw and tiny spring by tiny spring, and lay all the pieces before me on a table, I’m sure I could not put them back together again. I would be overwhelmed. I would feel very humbled. It would be best for me to leave […]
God’s Persistence, Our Repentance
Saturday, September 29th, 2007In Luke chapter 18 Jesus told a parable about two men: a Pharisee and a tax collector. The Pharisee was proud and felt that he did not need to repent of, or feel sorry about, anything. In fact, he thought he was better than other people, including the tax collector.

God Forgives Your Trespasses
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007“No Trespassing!” A sign like this in front of your path should make you stop. “Is there danger? What are the consequences if I keep going?

In the Bible God gives […]

Someone To Dry The Tears!
Friday, June 29th, 2007Illness. Sudden loss. Unexpected change. Loneliness. Uncertainty. Death. At some point we all need a shoulder to cry on because of these.
Finding that shoulder is the easy part, actually. When we need to cry, there is usually a shoulder nearby. Our spouse. A parent. A good friend. What is the hard part then? Finding […]
Jesus Rose Bodily on Easter!
Sunday, April 29th, 2007No doubt you have heard the recent buzz about the television premiere of The Lost Tomb of Jesus. The premise behind the film is that one of the ten ossuaries found might contain the bones of Jesus.
The Bible states however, that Jesus bodily and physically rose from the dead and therefore his bones will […]
Lent is about Dealing with Sin
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007For many people, this is the worst time of year to go to church. Not because it’s so cold on Sunday mornings, or for outside factors. It is because this is the time of year that we deal with sin so seriously. We call this season of the church year Lent, and focus on the […]
Christ Shines in Our Hearts by Faith
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007Throughout the Bible, the Lord uses contrasts to teach us truth about ourselves and about Him. Love verses hate. Good verses evil. Light verses darkness. What do we learn about ourselves and about the Lord in the contrast of “light verses darkness”?
Darkness is the absence of light, but Scripture also defines darkness as an absence […]
