When I first came to Geneva, I was struck by how many attractive older women there are here. I thought they must have been strikingly beautiful as young women. When we had our 40th anniversary, I got to see pictures of our lovely women. They were all attractive, still I realized that they had grown

Santification:
Sanctification is a mysterious word to many. We know it is part of the work that
God is doing in our lives and that involves being cleansed from sin.
I like to illustrate sanctification with a cast iron skillet. A lot of modern day skillets
and frying pans are coated with

Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be if we had to stand up and say what we believe based on our game plan for life. I believe in God the Father, maker of heaven and earth who is not worthy of me making two hours of week in my schedule to pray or talk to and to attend church. I believe in

SALVATION BELONGS TO THE LORD
To say that we cooperate with God in any way in our salvation undermines the doctrine of salvation, robs our confidence in God, and tempts us to pride.
It is like the man who collapses from a massive heart attack and is rushed to the hospital. The doctor doesn’t

Do you remember the movie “Hook” from the early 1990’s? According to Stephen Spielberg, when Peter Pan grew up he became a self-absorbed, ladder climbing, workaholic baby boomer. So goes the story line of the movie.
