    Signal Hill . . . In that night, I heard the city, and God’s voice spoke to my heart. I heard wives and husbands screaming at each other. I heard dogs barking, cars screeching, sirens blaring and guns shooting. I heard the things that Jesus hears when He listens to the city and I began to weep. In ...read more

    “Time is often represented by a straight line drawn on a page. We call this a time line. To get a grasp of what the eternality of God means, when you have drawn your time line you must picture God as the whole page on which the line is drawn”. (Green, M. P. (1989). Illustrations for Biblical ...read more

    verload comes when we have hearts crammed full with so many things and the important things, such as faith and health and sanity, are squeezed to the margins or even left out. What is in our hearts, is expressed in our schedules, our buying choices, and our time commitments. How well do we honor ...read more

    As we read this text, according to Dr. Schmit, and I quote, "We know that we too are individual members of a large flock of faithful disciples who seek to live as citizens of the kingdom of heaven.

    The Talmud contains a similar statement, ""He who humbles himself, him will God elevate; he who elevates himself, him will God humiliate.

    The problem for Isaiah, however, is that the filth and corruption was not outside Jerusalem, it was in it, in the hearts and on the lips of his people. That was the reason for all the invasions of Assyria and Babylonia. The kings of the north would be a purifying fire that would purge the sin ...read more

    There was an interesting article by David Marr in the Sydney Morning Herald on 19 December. He concludes that God is not dead in Australia. Rumours of his failing powers are exaggerated. The default setting of this country is faith without belonging to a religious organisation. A recent Nielson ...read more

    Dr. Harold Sightler, my pastor, at the staff lunch table would say: “Boys, I picked every one of you green!” And so it was. He had hired each of us, with no particular experience in our field, and taught us the job. So it is with our love. It is small, selfish, incomplete. But God takes us as ...read more

    WHAT IS SPIRITUAL MATURITY? In our Pueblo group we asked how we could define spiritual maturity? Someone said, "Being spiritually mature probably means you don't try to figure out whether the people around you are spiritually mature or not."

    DO IT AGAIN G. K. Chesterton wrote: "Because children have abounding vitality, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged... They always say, 'Do it again,' and the grown-up does it again until he is nearly dead... But perhaps God says every morning, 'Do it again' to the sun; and every ...read more

    Oil was used in the time James wrote his epistle. In ancient times various oils had various purposes. It could be that James is referring to medicinal oils such as: Aloes (Burial oil, John 19.39); Cassia and Cinnamon (in God’s holy anointing oil, Exodus 30.22-31); Frankincense Numbers 16.46-50 ...read more

    A few weeks ago, a hummingbird came and fluttered in front of my face. I was stunned. I've never seen one up that close and personal. It was so close I counted the number of times it flapped its wings - 25 beats per second - or 1500 flaps per minute! (No I looked it up!) It is the only bird ...read more

    Filled To The Brim! (07.05.05--Joy Every Day--Ecclesiastes 5:1-9) When I was younger I remember being moved on more than one occasion, either by laziness or a predisposition to want to do something more “rewarding” on a Sunday morning, to prompt my dad with this question: “Why do we have to go to ...read more
