    Paul makes a special plea to his friend Philemon concerning his run-away slave but now a Christian, showing how the gospel transforms all relationships.

    THE TRANSFORMING GOSPEL Letter writing is almost a lost art. We’d rather pick up the phone or dash off an e-mail but I’m glad that Paul used pen and ink. Doubtless Paul, being a man of letters and bubbling over with ideas for the spread of the gospel, must have written many ...read more

    Despite hardship and having to run for his life, David kept his faith in a good God and prayed for deliverance. His experience can be ours too, today.

    For a believer, no ’dead end’ is really a dead end. It is so only from man’s point of view. If we believe in God, then we must believe that He can still make a way. Matt 19:26 - Jesus: "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Isa 43:19 - See, I am doing a new thing! ...read more
