I remember as a kid watching the TV series called "KUNG FU" staring David Caradine. The blind Master Po (Keye Luke) calls his young student "GRASSHOPPER" to "EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED". We are not grasshoppers but we often see ourselves as such (Numbers 13:33) and we don't need a Shaolin monk to tell

THE BIBLE IS LIKE AN IPOD
Several years ago I purchased an iPod, and at first I was delighted to hear music. I can listen to music for literally hours upon hours without having to flip a tape or put in another CD.

GET THE BUGS OUT
A huge clock was built and placed in the tower of the Pottsdam Garrison Church by the Emperor Frederick the Great of Prussia. This magnificent timepiece would chime out the hymn, "Praise Ye the Lord" every half hour. One day the melody ceased. Repairmen opened the gearbox of the

FOLLOWING THE MASSES
A few years ago I was walking down Prague's Wenceslaus Square when I coincidently, without realizing it, found myself in the middle of a protest. It was so easy to blend with them, to get into their middle and march with them, but once I tried to leave that mob, step out and

BELOVED I STAND HERE TODAY TO TELL YOU...THE CHURCH HAS TO REDISCOVER 2 THINGS...FIRST WE MUST REDISCOVER THE MAJESTY AND THE HOLINESS OF OUR GOD ... AND SECOND THE SINFULNESS OF OUR SIN.

"The joy that I pursue is not the hope of getting rich with things from you. I have not come to you for your things, but for yourself. And this desire I now intensify and demonstrate by giving up things, in the hope of enjoying you more, not things. By giving to you what you do not need, and what I

KEEP YOUR FORK
The sound of Martha’s voice on the other end of the telephone always brought a smile to Brother Jim’s face. She was not only one of the oldest members of the congregation, but one of the most faithful. Aunt Martie, as all the children called her, just seemed to ooze faith, hope, and

[280]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – THE LORD IN OUR AFFLICTION
This was one of my first poems.
This poem came from a period that was very difficult for me when a nasty, concerted attack was made against me. That is when the Lord led me into writing poems with His help. Right back then I would not

French Fries
Like many modern fathers, I never seem to have enough time to spend with my children. So I was pleased that I had to "watch" the two boys last Saturday. We ran a couple of errands, got the car washed, and then they decided it was time for lunch. I asked them where they wanted to
