We have here comedy and realism. We all know Santa, the delusion of the world, is fake, but here is a different sort of posting. Mathematics and Science are involved but I am not expert there, so facts may not be greatly accurate. This is more for your enjoyment.
SANTA CLAUS – A BIT OF COMEDY AND REALISM 28 years ago I used to belong to a Christian forum and one of the fellows there posted an article on Santa Claus that was sort of comical but realistic at the same time, hence the title of this posting. I do not know the origin of the post. Over the ...read more

The world often values the big, the many, the rich, and the famous. However, this sermon explores the idea that less can be more, and that there is strength and importance in the small and few when God is involved. It challenges the belief that bigger is always better, and encourages finding value in simplicity and smallness.
The world often promotes the idea that bigger is better and smaller is not good. The unbelievers believe that more is always better and less is not valuable. They believe that there is strength in numbers and that the few are unimportant. They prioritize the rich and famous over the poor and ...read more

True prayer is not just a one-way monologue. It also involves being still and silent before God and allowing time to listen to Him. Many do all the talking (if not the complaining), when listening to God’s still small voice is a great joy!
Intro: Today we ponder on prayer. Real prayer is our means of releasing faith and submitting our hearts to the Lord’s will. Simply put, prayer involves among other things: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication (ACTS) in the Spirit. True prayer is not just a one-way monologue. It also ...read more

We are so into upward mobility; but God's version is different. It involves building us up so that the powerless have power; binding up the wounded so that they can understand brokenness; and lifting us up so that we can use our power for others.
I can remember when the word "furlough" was a happy word. It was a happy word because it meant that somebody in your family was coming home from military duty for a while. "Furlough" for me brings up a memory of standing, as a small boy, in Union Station in Louisville, waiting for the train to ...read more
