JAPANESE CHRISTMAS
I read recently about how Japan celebrates Christmas, which has become a major event over there. They put up decorations, exchange presents, send cards, sing yuletide songs, decorate trees, serve special seasonal treats and make a big fuss over St Nick, Rudolph and Frosty. Their

Leave it to the ministers,
And soon the church will die;
Leave it to the women folk,
And some will pass it by;
For the church is all that lifts us
From the coarse and selfish mob,
And the church that is to prosper
Needs the laymen on the job.
Now a layman has his business,
And a

GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE
We used to have a song leader in our church in Wiesbaden named Steve who whenever I saw him, I’d ask, “How’s it going Steve?”
His response was always the same--he’d say, “God is still on the throne!”
He was almost always happy and on top of things when he’d say

Church feuds are not uncommon, especially among cliques in the congregation. But when the pastor and worship leader get into it, stand aside. In one church, the preacher preached one weekend on commitment, and how you should dedicate yourselves to service. The worship leader then led the choir in

Legacy of Blood and Heartbeat
From the heartbeat of ancestors long gone,
Rises a rhythm—a sacred song,
Passed through blood, through bloodlines deep,
A legacy rooted in faith to keep.
Mothers praying in quiet nights,
Holding on through struggles and fights,
Their voices rising, fierce

Christians of all people should lead the way in forgiveness. And some do. On June 17, 2015, Dylann Roof entered a Bible study group at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Even though he was white, he received a warm welcome from the all-black congregation. When the group closed
