Let’s face it, life can be the pits. A 90-year-old caring for his or her spouse of 60 years who has Alzheimer’s disease isn’t driven by the warm, fuzzy feeling. I had a delightful friend who went home to be with the Lord a few years ago. Homer was in his 80’s. He got deathly ill and stayed that

Let’s take a closer look at the dishonest manager (Luke 16:1-9). At the beginning of the story, he is stealing from people. At the end of the story, he is no longer stealing from people. He repented--“accidentally.”

Einstein said the reason he could construct the theory of relativity was because there is one thing in the world that is unchangeable. That one thing is the speed of light. Light travels at a rate of 100 and 86 thousand miles per second --- seven times around the world at the tick of a clock.

The word “fool” doesn’t get as much use now as it once did. If one of my mates does something profoundly stupid I don’t usually cry out “you fool”. I might say “you are such an idiot” or “what a goose”. I’m sure many people you know would use much more colourful language than that. Fool is one of

Let me begin by telling you a story about a man who was going skydiving for the first time. He had taken all his lessons and it was time for his first solo jump. So he jumped out of the plane, but he panicked and couldn’t remember how to open his parachute. As he was falling rapidly to the earth he

F.B. Myer once said that three lights must line up before God’s will is clear.
(1) The inward impulse—what we call the subjective leading of the Lord—the voice of the Lord.
(2) The word of God—as revealed in scripture.
