    The Lord went to a lot of effort to write us a love letter. We call it the Bible. We would be amiss not to read it.

With the invention of the telephone, there was some threat that written correspondence may ...read more

    Too Wide To Hide

    Preached in a church of another denomination for Christian Unity Sunday and Martin Luther King Sunday: we tend to hide our own history and to conceal our witness. But God calls us into a wider ministry.

    I’m not sure how it is among Methodists, but we Baptist folks have a strange custom of hiding when we come to church. We hide. We try to get in and get out without being noticed. I don’t know whether Methodists are infected with this disease, but with Baptists it is an epidemic. We hide. ...read more

    Lucy’s opening of the wardrobe into a new world can symbolize the opportunity for our hearts to connect with God. No matter what our situation, trial, or need, God is only a blink away. Open the door . . . see the light.

    Title: “Believing the Incredible” Is it possible that someone can open a door and enter into a new world? The truth about our existence is that there is another world near us.
