GOD'S WILL AND THE TABLECLOTH
It happened in 1948, just a few days before Christmas. A flash flood ravaged a small town, leaving a gaping hole in the wall of an old church building--right behind the pulpit. The young pastor knew there was no time to fix the damage and decided to make the best of

Living in sin is like having a running car in a closed garage: the more we live in sin, the more Carbon Monoxide will inevitably come out. It is a byproduct of our exhaust as sinful people. The visible smoke will also build up over time, and it is harder to see that we need

In a far country lived a band of minstrels who traveled from town to town presenting music to make a living. They had not been doing well. Times were hard; there was little money for common folk to come to hear the minstrels, even though their fee was small. Attendance had been falling off, so

But we must focus on the good
Reminds me of a story about a newlywed farmer and his wife
Mother-in-law visit demanding an inspection
Genuinely tried to be friendly
Hoping for non-antagonistic relationship
To no avail, nagged at every opportunity
Demanding changes, offering unwanted advice and

To live before the Audience of One truly makes a demonstrable difference. The character and life of the great nineteenth-century Christian soldier General Charles Gordon, sometimes known as "Chinese Gordon" or "Gordon of Khartoum" is a striking example. In his book on the recapture of Sudan,

"Our lives should always be the first things to speak; and if our lips speak more than our lives, it will avail very little. So often the tragedy has been that people proclaim the gospel in words, but their whole life and demeanor has been a denial of it. The world does not pay much attention to

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!’

DEPENDENT ON GOD
In the past few decades, there were some huge storms that hit our nation of which were Hurricane Pamela, and Hurricane Katrina, to name a few... (and, yes, not to bias about gender, there was big bad Hurricane Andrew, too). Here in the islands, we have had our share of storms as

THE GOD SQUAD
This week, we finished remodeling our old house and started moving into our new house. But last Monday I threw my back out while working on the house. I was frustrated and hurting. But the pain was not as bad as the feeling of not being able to finish my tasks which what I wanted to

GOD'S NAME
God is not like a dog. Some dogs, as long as you show them affection or give them treats, they will come running and wag their tails and be just so excited. If we didn’t know there name we could call them "Fido" or "Ginger" or any name and they would respond. We could even call them
