Time
There was a minister who was admired for always finishing his services at exactly eleven o?clock. Then, one Sunday, the impossible happened. He preached until 11:30. On the way out, one of his elders angrily enquired, “What happened to you?” The minister answered, “For years I have always put a mint lolly in my mouth […]
The grandeur of God
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.It will flame out, like the shining from shook foil;It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil crushed.Why do men then now not reck his rod?Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;And wears men’s smudge and […]

Oblivion
I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of the Lord?s wrath. He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light; indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long. He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my […]
Remember Peace
We all want peace ? don?t we?!? Especially in our way too manic society, where we work and stress ourselves ?into the ground?. We are ready to grab hold of peace as soon as we get even the ?sniff? of a promise of it. The question is, is what we grab hold of really peace??. […]
Australian’s Love God Less
Just on statistics alone, Australians love God a lot less than they used to. Declared belief in the Christian God, and membership of churches, has ?dropped through the floor? in recent decades. Sure, some of that church involvement may have been just cultural, but a good amount of it would also have been real ? […]
Dying Words
I?ve had a number of conversations at after-funeral gatherings over the years where someone says to me something like ? ?I?ve always followed the Ten Commandments!?. I think that?s supposed to make a point to me that they will ?make it over the line? in the end? by the time that it?s their funeral I […]
Call on me
Ever been in an impossible situation?? In Mark 9:14-29, a man comes to the followers of Jesus with his son, who is possessed by a bad spirit, which causes him to be thrown to the ground, convulse, and froth at the mouth. He asks their help to free the boy from this torment; they try, […]
