    No matter how excellent our ministries are, no matter how diligently we execute them, if we tolerate sin in our midst then Christ's abundent grace must inevitably move to judgment. Not because He desires it, but because His eternal word requires it. Wake

    Mark sets the scene of Jesus in a strange place, in a strange situation with a couple of strange outcomes. The result is that Jesus shows he is open to all people.

    Hope found in Jesus. Ever been the stranger in a situation, maybe the people you are visiting know you are coming, but still you are the stranger. Maybe there’s something you want, maybe there’s something you’re expected to provide. There could be uncertainty, there could be a ...read more

    We look at the kinds prayers we ought to pray in which God will answer "yes" every time.

    Most of you have probably heard that God answers our prayers in one of three ways: Yes, No, or wait. I believe that this is a wise way of looking at prayer but today we’re going to look only at the first answer. Honestly, when you say that God answered your prayers you mean that he said ...read more

    If you were to ask me what was the most important lesson I’d learned about marriage in my (ahem!) years in the married state, I’d give you my answer with no hesitation at all: love is a choice, not a feeling.

    “During the marriage ceremony the two become one - on the honeymoon they discover which one.” – I quoted from guy who seems to be a deep-thinker. But I think this is rather the result of some personal frustrations, rather than a generic truth. Maybe it’s the age I’m getting to, but I’ve noticed ...read more
