WORK IN GOD’S KINGDOM
John Stott tells a joke against his vocation: a clefgyman is the last person in the world to write about work. For, as everybody knows, he has not done an honest day’s work in his life. As the old saying goes, he is ‘six days invisible and one day incomprehensible!’

SPURGEON ON TRUSTING GOD
Charles Spurgeon writes:

GOD'S LOVE IS WITH YOU
God’s promise is not that we will not suffer or have grief, pain and trouble; his promise is more amazing than that. It is that he will be with us in all of those moments, he will never leave us and forsake us. God loves us too much to leave us to face these moments alone.

DAD, ARE YOU GOD?
One day after church, the pastor asked his little boy what he learned in Sunday school. The lad said, "I learned that God loves me more than anything else in the whole world."
"What else did you learn?" asked his dad. "I learned that when I’m bad, He spanks real hard."

HIGHER STANDARD OF GOD
Paul very much emphasized that we are responsible to others. Not responsible for them but to them. We are held to a high standard (at least we should be) by our own conscience, by others, and by God.

THE SENSE OF GOD’S PRESENCE
I also remember going to Milldale Bible Conference almost every summer during my teen years. I saw many demonstrations of God’s presence and power there.

GOD'S LOVE IS EVERYTHING
The Pope tells us that "For the Church, instructed by the Gospel, charity is everything because, as Saint John teaches (cf. 1 Jn 4:8, 16) and as I recalled in my first Encyclical Letter, 'God is love'...: everything has its origin in God’s love, everything is shaped by it,

GOD OF ALL COMFORT
I remember one time, when I was around 10 years old, I went to summer camp with my church for the first time. This was the longest I had been away from home. I remember the first few nights being so homesick. I cried for my mom and dad. I missed them so much and all I wanted to
