Last week’s “treasure hunt” from the quote about Sir Isaac Newton was "on the grown-ups’ side". This treasure hunt might prove to be a bit more “well-suited” to the younger ones . . . Most of us have all sorts of clothing in our closets and drawers. But have you ever discovered where those clothes […]

Perspective from Sir Isaac Newton
Your life, for you, is the “greatest drama of all time” for sure, as well as your greatest opportunity, but did you ever think that all of life, history and science is also one created entity, and therefore, under it’s Creator, the one “greatest riddle of all time”? I’ve reached as far as chapter one […]
My First Three Arab Acquaintances
The first time I remember getting to know an Arab family was in Moscow. I was there to teach English. My friends were there for economical reasons I believe. At first we had only occasional contact. Then I heard that one by one each one in the family had come to know Christ as their […]
Wise Men Take Warning
Suffer a post without pictures I pray you, Hear me out for a parable or two . . . Once upon a time in a remote place was a little village. The school of the town was a mere one-room schoolhouse, but it had an incredible aptitude for fostering the participation of all sorts of […]
Dear Mom,
There could hardly be a better blog post than one devoted entirely to letting you know how much you mean to us! First off, thank you from your firstborn! Thank you for bringing me into the world. And thank you for answering my questions on Easter morning, April 21, 1983, showing me the way to […]

Just One Day
Monday! For years we’ve always worked together to clean house early on Monday morning. Last Monday was no exception—but it seemed there was a host of “other things” to do and we wondered where to start. Many things begin on Monday. It links the rest, fellowship and vision of Sunday to the everyday work of […]
Gutenburg’s Vision Has Come to Pass
A word of refreshing reminder to our spirits from the inventor of moveable type, the foundation for today’s “untiring” printing presses. . . . “God suffers in the multitude of souls whom His word can not reach. Religious truth is imprisoned in a small number of manuscript books which confine instead of spread the public […]
The Test
Do you remember what your response was the last time the Lord gave you a “test”? Life is full of tests. More often than not, life’s tests are untimely and we often don’t even recognize a problem as a test until it is over. But each one is allowed by God and will turn out […]
A New Song for a New Life
Have you ever wished that you could simply but effectively communicate the difference between godly music and worldly music to others in the Church today? I was recently encouraged to read the testimony candidly shared by Adam Waller on his website recounting a time the Lord helped him to put in words this key distinction. […]
