    Good Friday. What was so 'good?' Unless we first realize how 'bad' it could have been for us, we will never fully grasp the 'good.'

    Does it bother you that God is Just and Holy? It bothers most people. They want to determine what is right or wrong based on what they think is right or wrong. They don’t understand that one day they will stand before the only true and living God and be judged by the standard of He who is, “Holy, ...read more

    The Christian has two spiritual fathers: God and Abraham. The blessing and promises of God to Abraham become our inheritance in Christ!

    The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers… Why do you hear this line so often in the Bible? Who are these men of God, and what makes them so important that their names are scattered all over the Bible in both the old and new Testaments? They are all forefathers of Jesus ...read more

    A short talk for Good Friday. I am deeply challenged by Peter reminding us that when suffering for his faith, Jesus did not retaliate and made no threats; and we’re called to follow his example!

    When I was at school there was no such thing as an anti-bullying policy, and I think I was on the receiving end of a large amount of abuse, mainly due to my surname, Pidgeon, and my painfully thin physique. As I look back I think I eventually adopted my own personal anti-bullying policy and it went ...read more

    Our God is present and active in the midst of our troubles.

    We always see trouble arising in our life. No matter if its at home, our children, or our jobs we see trouble. Since this is a fact, we should be glad to be able to see God in along side of us.

    How we use our gifts are more important than their monetary value. It isn't the size of the gift, it's the motive in the giving!

    Not Our Talents BUT Our Use of Talents Matthew 25:14-30 This parable provides us with a message that can be and often is misunderstood. The talents referred to in the parable are monetary units. A talent was not really a coin at all but rather an ingot, weighing around 75 pounds. At that weight ...read more

I’m willing to bet almost all of us have had an earworm at one time or another, and most likely many of us get multiple earworms every year. I know I do! Do you know what an earworm is? If you ever get an earworm, the ...read more
