These two women met often for fellowship and discussion of their new hymns. Eliza was a school teacher in Philadelphia and a Christian lay worker who was committed to write songs to teach children the b

After receiving only a small serving of food at meal time, Oliver requested, “More please, Sir.” It was an affront to the establishment and led to his escaping and becoming a fugitive. But that is just a story. In spiritual re

That means the Lord gives us freedom from the sins of the past. Freedom from past sins does not mean we have the freedom to continue in those sinful ways. There needs to be a  life cleaning! Over the many years that I have served as pastor and counselor, I have been confronted with individuals who hang onto their old sinful habits. Perhaps I should rephrase that and say that the old habits ha

The older I get the more efficient I am at forgetting things that once were easy to recall and bring to mind. I am coming to realize that it is not so much the things that I recall that matter the most, but what I do with the things that come to mind. The question is, do I take action when I see the “light” that the Holy Spirit reveals to me? Moses is bringing to remembrance the mighty acts that God has performed for the I

One is an active process of involvement, and the other is a passive pastime of taking up space and contributing little. It is sad that our churches are often filled with gripers, moaners, and fault finders. These are the ones who are taking up space and simply sitting on the premise

These objects are nothing more than human attempts to worship a god of their own making. I am so thankful that we serve a God that is not made with human hands. As a matter of fact,  we are to serve the God of the universe who created everything … including us. God did not simply create us -- He gave us the greatest gift i

When I read about the study of micro-biology, I am stunned by the unseen world that comes alive under powerful electron microscopes. To be able to view the photos taken by giant telescopes of the deepest reaches of the heavens astounds me even more. Even the most brilliant scientists are continually surprised by the newest discoveries. The most enlightening thing is that God not only knows all of these things, He is the
