The problem in today’s church is that we have developed a low concept of God and are guilty of wanting to make Him into our image. Let me repeat, I am talking about the church, not the unchurched and unsaved. When I hear them talk of God for the most part their ideas are so silly and so

A man went inside a telephone booth and dialed the number of a friend. When the connection was made, the friend kept saying, "I can’t hear you; speak louder; I can’t hear you." All he could hear was the roar of traffic in the background. "Shut the door so I can hear," he said to the caller.

“Sometimes people have used several analogies drawn from nature or human experience to attempt to explain this doctrine. (Unfortunately) they all turn out to be inadequate or misleading on further reflection. To say, for example, that God is like a three-leaf clover, which has three parts yet

I was hungry
and you formed a humanities club
and you discussed my hunger.
Thank you.
I was imprisoned
and you crept off quietly
to your chapel in the cellar
to pray for my release.
I was naked

I was sick
and you knelt and

EMOTION
The Bee Gees and Destiny’s Child sang a song called "Emotion". The song is about the sadness of lost love.
"In the words of a broken heart it’s just emotion taking me over. Caught up in sorrow lost in the song

don’t you know there’s

I remember a neighbour of mine dying with acute Leukemia. He was a believer who needed much encouragement, and one day a woman from his church told him God had revealed to her that He would spare his life, like he spared the life of Hezekiah. He asked me what I thought. I shared some deep

I was tremendously challenged by a conversational exchange in a short-lived situation comedy. It was a comedy where the late Danny Thomas played a doctor. There was a scene in “The Practice” where a nurse overhears Thomas’ character praying. When she comments on it, the doctor denies it. “I was not

Choices have to be made by all of us at some time. A poet (James Russell Lowell) put it like this: "Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide; Some great cause, God’s new Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight; Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the
