     | 4,660 views

    It is a meditation on the text...no illustrations...just a reworking of the basic concepts into the venacular.

    As we read through the gospels we regularly are told that the good news of God’s kingdom is for those, “who have ears to hear, and eyes to see.” And what a great challenge and opportunity that is: to see the world from a fresh perspective and hear it make music in our souls. In ...read more

    Don't let pride blinds you to the need of God and the needs of others. Be humble and faithful. We need God's grace and mercy. As we are led by God, let us do the will of God and be instruments of blessings for others.

    Like a carnival ride, our modern lives seem to be spinning out of control. But busyness is the enemy of the spiritual life. As Elijah discovered, God is not in the busyness - the earthquake, wind and fire - but in the quiet whisper.
