Don’t Worry About Tomorrow
So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. Matthew 6:34 For years, I ministered in churches and nursing homes through music. A favorite song I often sang was “I Know Who Holds Tomorrow.” The first verse begins by saying the following. I don’t know about tomorrow,… Continue reading Don’t Worry About Tomorrow

Advent, Thirty Days of Jesus: Day 14, Propitiation

According to the NT, God has provided the offering that removes the divine wrath,… Continue reading Advent, Thirty Days of Jesus: Day 14, Propitiation

When Jesus was born, there was… Continue reading Good news of the Gospel
God Honours Marriage
Paul reminded the Christians in the Hebrew church about the importance of marriage. He warned against adultery and sexual immorality, as this would attract the judgement of God. I am generally surprised when someone tries to justify pursuing a relationship with a married person. The justification is often that, ‘maybe they married the wrong person.’… Continue reading God Honours Marriage

There have been a few occasions when, a minute later, I’ve asked myself, “Did I close the garage?” I’ve never questioned the… Continue reading This is Too Good Not to Share
