    The fact of Christ’s soon return should have a great effect on the manner of our behaviour and perspective in life. Knowing that nothing on earth is permanent; that this is not our real home should dissuade us from materialism which leads a soul astray.

    It wasn’t the faith of this little girl that moved Jesus to come. It was the faith of a father in desperation, crying out to Jesus. Nothing is more powerful than the desperation of a father for his child. THERE IS ALWAYS A DESPERATE ASPECT TO FAITH.

    Part 7 - Matthew 9:18-26 - THE DESPERATE CRY OF MY FAITH! I’ve conducted funerals. I know the kind of grief that hangs in the air with anticipation like storm clouds ready to flood the earth with rain. I know the kind of grief which needs to be expressed in tears and in saying goodbye. Yes, I know ...read more

    If my heart writes the music of my life then my WORDS are the LYRICS OF THE SOUL. I can tell from the lyrics what is in your heart. Open your mouth and I can hear what kind of song is in your heart.

    Part 10 - Matthew 12:22-37 - THE MUSIC OF MY SOUL "Where’s my..." "On the kitchen bench" "...keys". "What happened to my..." "It’s in the washing machine. You wore it yesterday."

    I found another wonderful story of life changing prayer this morning. The story is found in two Old Testament passages – I Kings 22:32 and 2 Chronicles 18:31. It is interesting to me that the wording of both passages is almost the same which might indicate they used a common resource. What is ...read more
