BE LED TO JESUS Today, for the first time, I really heard the words of a song that I had played and listened to over and over again, for more than fifteen Christmases. I was about to leave home, with my son in tow, and I said to him, “we are going to play a Christmas carol and I want

DIFFERENT GIFTS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. In Corinthians 12:12 (New International Version), the Apostle Paul used the human body as a metaphor for the body of Christ.

GOING TO WAR This is a subtitle from the twentieth chapter of the book of Deuteronomy. The first verse reads thus: “When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you.” Deuteronomy 20:1 NIV The

LET US MAKE JESUS MARVEL I was pondering on the word “marvel” a little while ago and I decided to check it up. All that kept coming up was marvel studios, marvel movies, marvel comics; generally it was all about the Marvel Television company.
