Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.” The Haven of Rest Quartet began singing in the year I was born, 1934. I can recall First Mate Bob introducing the program after a fog horn sounded. The quartet then would sing the words of this week’s hymn. As we struggle through the storms of life it is a wonderful assurance that God provides a haven of rest where we can safely escape the wild waves of adversity. I thank God that many times in my life I hav

Rather, it is being in harmony with Him and speaking with Him in confident expectation. In today's Scripture, it is evident that John the Baptist had taught his disciples how to pray.  Since John preached a message of repentance, it seems reasonable that his instructions for prayer focused on repentan

And the  Lord  showed him all the land. ” Flying at night on a commuter airline is especially revealing. Washington is a fairly large state, but when climbing to a relatively low altitude, the lights of Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Portland, Tri-cities, Walla Walla, Yakima, Moses Lake, and Spokane are all clearly visible.  What a view!     What about those who are blind?  I am always in awe of the things that blind people can "see" without the aid of eyesight.  Their perc

The traffic light was red for him and he was permitted to make a right turn, but only after coming to a complete stop and insuring that no on-coming traffic was approaching. I was in an inside lane and watched as he narrowly missed the car having the right-of-way. It was then I noticed that he seemingly averted his eyes from the car he had cut in front of ... as if by not looking at the other driver, his action was okay. We once had a s

Then each one’s praise will come from God. ” In today's Scripture, Paul is speaking about how we often use our conscience as a guide to determine our actions.  He is quick to point out that our conscience is not the guide we need; our conscience can be seared or warped so it is not always a reliable guide. I am here to tell you that if you say "no" to the promptings of the Holy Spirit long enough, you will become har

I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” William Walford did not allow the fact that he was blind limit his service for his Lord. He was frequently called upon to preach in a small country church. He composed the sermons in his head and also was able to quote large portions of Scripture from memory. Some people thought he had memorized the entire Bible. He also composed verses a

I know that makes me feel ancient, but there are many more reminders that I am in my golden-oldie years! At least I am still here and God has enriched me with a meaningful ministry. Many of you will recall the story I have shared of the final days of my daughter’s life back in 1991 when she was just 35. In the hospital one
