Light and Life

May 9, 2008

Sweaty palms, a knot in my stomach, a blockade forming in my throat, and the Master of Ceremonies dutifully steps to the microphone and reads my bio in an attempt to construct a platform of credibility before I move to the podium. This was true at the start of the ministry of Jesus. Matthew 4:15 […]

One of Those Days

May 2, 2008

On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal. ~ Luke 5:17, ESV – (In Luke 5:17-26 Jesus heals a paralytic through […]

Function and Form

April 25, 2008

For several years I frequented the Tower Thistle Hotel in London. The proximity of the hotel made it very convenient for regular business meetings. The property is situated on the Thames River beside the Tower Bridge. Without exception I found myself spellbound as I walked into the hotel. The elegance and beauty of the bridge […]

Touched

April 18, 2008

The leprous person who has the disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head hang loose, and he shall cover his upper lip and cry out, “Unclean, unclean.” He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside […]

Beloved

January 18, 2008

Nearly every day an endorsement with some political significance rips across the headlines of the news.

Moleskin

January 4, 2008

I received a Moleskine for Christmas. It’s a black notebook that is manufactured by an Italian company with the same name.

Rooted in Scripture

December 28, 2007

I would guess that in households across America, the holiday season gave ample time for some healthy, and perhaps redundant, reminiscing about events of significance, entertainment and enjoyment in the life of the family. That was the case in our household. In fact, the sharing tended to erupt like popcorn on a perfectly heated stove. […]

The Wondrous Cross

December 28, 2007

“When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died; my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride.” In a time of corporate worship yesterday at the national office of Youth for Christ we sang these powerful words penned by Isacc Watts in 1707. As I […]

An Open Fire

December 21, 2007

Have you ever walked past an open fire that wasn’t yours? I mean you didn’t build it, you aren’t tending it, you weren’t involved in providing the necessary fuel to ignite or sustain it, but you walked by it, and when you did, you instantly felt the heat that it produced. You may or may […]
