I never saw a U-Haul behind a hearse.
Our certainty that angels right now witness how we are walking through life should mightily influence the decisions we make. God is watching, and His angels are interested spectators too.
...hymns have been a powerful instrument of God to draw people closer to His Word and the saving riches therein.
Our World has becoime a neighbourhood without becoming a brotherhood.
When our faith becomes nothing more than a series of rules and regulations, joy flees and our love for Christ grows cold.

When the Prophet Jonah finally traveled to Nineveh and proclaimed God's warning, people heard and repented. I believe the same thing can happen once again, this time in our nation. It's something I long for...
Confidentiality is the essence of being trusted.
A life touched by the Holy Spirit will tolerate sin no longer.
I am conscious of the fact that the subject of hell is not a very pleasant one. It is very unpopular, controversial and misunderstood.... As a minister, I must deal with it. I cannot ignore it.
