Meditations

This morning we will be meditating upon the Lord Jesus. And I suppose that is not too surprising because He said, “In the volume of the book it is written of Me.” And, for a few moments, we will be considering the life of a lady who served the Lord with the talents He had entrusted […]

A little girl was sitting in church busily working on a colouring book that her mother had given her to keep her occupied. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she began to pay close attention to what the preacher was saying. After church, she thanked him for his message and said she was so glad

As a child growing up in Canada , I really wasn’t affected all that much by the Second World War. Oh, there were certain items such as sugar, etc., that were rationed, but on the farm, there was always plenty to eat. However, I can remember my mother shaking cream in a sealer for ever so long

1 Corinthians 6:1 “Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?” When you get a letter that’s only 13 sentences long, and some of them fairly brief, you might call it short and sweet. But you can hardly call a letter that begins with
