What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! Words: Joseph Scriven, 1855. Music: Charles Converse, 1868. Above is an old hymn that once I hear, the tune repeats itself in my head for pretty much the rest of the day.  It talks...

22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. This challenged me this morning as I too have been guilty in the past of name calling, and teasing.  One step we can take is to really think about the words we use with people.  Sometimes, without thinking, we...

2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labour on what does not satisfy? Have you ever dreamed of being super rich?

Firstly, why did...

15For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. Another reminder of how important it is to be an example to others of the love and saving grace of our Saviour Jesus Christ.  For some people, we may be the only Christian contact or example they have...

4 Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. This reminds me of the “Footprint’s in the Sand” poem. In brief a man walks with the Lord on the beach. Looking at the footprints...
