HOLY CHILD
Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child,
Make thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
My heart for very joy doth leap,
My lips no more can silence keep,
I too must sing, with joyful tongue,
That sweetest ancient cradle song,
Glory to God

When I was in business it was the accepted practice, for employees to have an annual appraisal. It can be painful, but let’s face it, no-one like to be told that they’re less than perfect! I think believers in Jesus need it more often than once a year, even if it’s only a self-appraisal. In

This past week marked the 50th anniversary of the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on an Alabama bus to a white man. In a 1996 interview she said “she was tired of it all.” My friend, 1 person, a seamstress from Alabama, decided it was time for a change and through her action and

Medieval theologians argued that since a ladder leaning against a wall forms a triangle and a triangle is a symbolic reminder of the Holy Trinity, anyone who carelessly blunders through this mystical space is risking divine wrath! Even when that argument lost itself in history’s muddle, condemned

It is said of the gladiators that on the day before a mortal battle to death, that they would visit the arena. It would be empty and quiet. As the quiet prevailed, they would begin to imagine the enemy, be it man or beast, approaching. In their mind, they could hear the roar of the crowd, they

Last week some of us made a new covenant with the Lord and pledged to serve Him wholeheartedly. I reviewed this video this week and was encouraged at what happens to a place when they make a new covenant with the Lord and repent of their sins. Look at what happened to this nation in Africa.

The arrogant skeptic is condescending. I remember a young man who grew up in a Christian church but was going through a period of doubts. He berated his mild-mannered girl friend regarding her faith by saying, “You don’t believe that for yourself. You’re just repeating what somebody else told

I was once invited to lay hands on some people who had obeyed to an altar call during an open air meeting. I asked one sick old man whether he believed in Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour and he told me, no. I again asked him if he was ready to receive the Lord Jesus into his life and be saved, and

Sitting by the Fire
An old man sat by an open fire and dreamed the years away,
While, outside in the battle of life, many perished in the toils of day.
He never did any good, nor did he ever do any wrong.
He just sat by the open fire and dreamed the whole day long.
Now he’s left a vacant chair and
