Have you noticed how everyone is in a hurry these days? Why, so we can hurry up and live life and die? Everyone complains they don’t have time anymore to do the things they really want to do. Yet, every hour still has sixty minutes, just like before. Has time really speeded up, or just our perception of its passing?

It seems these are the most uncertain days we’ve ever seen as a society, and even those who love God aren’t quite sure what they are to be doing. I’m often asked, “What do you think God wants me to do? I’m just not hearing any clear direction.” Really, the LORD is still speaking, but sometimes we let “stuff” get in the way of hearing from God.

Today I’d like to explore a two-sided coin. Many Christians want “more”, but exactly what IS it they are seeking? Are they seeking more material goods, or are they seeking a closer relationship with God? Or both, or is that possible? Let’s have a look. Continue Reading »

Most people would say that life is full of uncertainty, and evidence of that is all around us. We see natural disasters all over the globe, businesses failing, unemployment, wars and rumors of wars, many people full of fear, wondering what tomorrow has in store. It’s common to hear “If I can just make it through today, maybe things will get better.” The word “if” is getting a lot of use these days, and people try hard to plan for “if”, but often without success. What do we do if we lose our savings, or get sick, or lose our job? Is anything in this life certain, besides taxes and death? Continue Reading »

Has anyone ever made a promise to you, and then didn’t keep it? How does it make you feel? Disappointed, angry, desperate? If you’re like me, you know the feeling well, for it has happened to all of us at one time or another. It might have been a small matter, like someone saying they would meet you for a cup of coffee, then they didn’t show up. Or it might have been something major, like someone saying they would lend you money to get your car fixed that you need in order to keep your job, and they didn’t come through. Or maybe it was a mate that was not true to you, or a promotion you had been promised at work that didn’t materialize. Whatever the case may be, it sure makes for a bad day, doesn’t it?

Many people ask me why they are not seeing the answers to their prayers, some having waited for years, and still no visible results are forthcoming. I’d like to say I have all the answers, but that isn’t the case, however there are clear instructions in the Bible that we need to pay close attention to, or else we will miss it. Let’s have a look at Philippians 4:4-8; Continue Reading »

Have you ever been fishing? Many people have. I grew up on a lake, and spent a lot of time fishing. So, how do you catch fish? Well, first of all, you have to go where the fish are, because they most likely won’t come to you. A body of water is usually a good place to start. But not just any water, it needs to be a place where fish live, like a lake or stream. You see, there aren’t any fish in the public drinking water supply tanks, or in your neighbor’s swimming pool, or in the ditches along the road after the rain, so you can eliminate those places. That is, unless you just like to sit there looking at a bobber sitting in the water. Continue Reading »

It is commonly taught in churches, “whom the son sets free is free indeed”. There is absolutely no question about it; God does not want us in bondage to anything, but to be free, no matter where on earth we live or what government we live under. And of course we know there are some very oppressive governments and people out there who would rule over everyone if they had the chance. Continue Reading »

As I get time, I will be posting some of my sermons on the site for download in MP3 format. You can download the teachings for free, you can get them instantly, plus it saves us the time of making CDs and the postage to send them. Of course, you can still get the CDs and tapes.

Back in the days when I owned a furniture repair business, I was well known and had a long waiting list for my services. Well, one day a man called wanting me to make him an oak dining room table and wanted to know how soon I could have it done. I told him, I’ll plant an acorn today. There was this long silence on the other end. Apparently he wanted it immediately, if not sooner, like most of us. There is a lesson to be learned in this. Continue Reading »
