We are reminded that we have everything we need for life and godliness, and that part of what —or who — we need is a Strong Tower. "Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3 seeing ...

Today we call out to our God who suffered temporally so we can live eternally. Our greatest sorrow, though, is our separation, even for a time, in the death of those we love. In that separation, we are most obviously bruised ...

So apprehensive is my nature that, as a boy, before our nightly entertainment was in any way under our control, if I saw that "The Rockford Files" was going to be a two-part episode, I would go to my room to read or listen to...

No longer will I make the claim to catch up. The Lord has something else in mind, obviously. But we will crack on with our October Surprise and see what other surprises are in store! Today, we look at God, our Trainer. We kno...

Growing up where I did, not England, France, or Germany, when I think majestic, I think of starry nights, mountain ranges, and most of all beautiful sunrises. So there's no more fitting picture for me than that of the majesty...

Jesus meets a woman at a well; this event gets right to the point. Our lives are much more than what we see physically, and the real existential threat is not to our earthly lives, but to our eternal souls. So critical is thi...

Success is never Final. Failure is never Fatal. It is Courage (Faith) that Counts. This phase, attributed to Winston Churchill, is not from the Bible, but it is Biblical and encouraging. “But if I am to live on in the flesh, ...
