The first mention of foot washing (in Gen. 18:4-5) emphasises the benefits of rest and refreshment. Self-centeredness is the default position of fallen humanity. Tragically, it infiltrates modern Christendom with many maintaining that the church is primarily geared toward pleasing people and meeting their felt needs. During His sojourn on earth, however, the Lord Jesus […]
Being a radio-television technician in the 1970’s and 80’s and an antenna installer for small villages in the province of Québec, Canada, there was never a lack of work for my father. On occasion, he would also travel Highway 20 from Montmagny to Québec City to purchase materials. On one such trip, he picked up […]
Paradise is lost beyond recovery as far as man is concerned. There will be weeds in your garden, pain in your body, and distress in your mind until the Lord returns, not all the time and in the same measure perhaps; but frustrating conditions will come and go in everyone’s experience, those who have faith […]
While it may be an uncomfortable subject to discuss, pornography can no longer be ignored. We know it is a problem in our society…it’s everywhere we look! From the supermarket checkout line to the catalog waiting in our mailbox to billboards we see while driving around town. However, if we are to be absolutely honest, […]
I’ve spent a lot of time in the air (over a million miles on Northwest Airlines alone—that’s 25 times around the equator).

Chief among these differences are its accurate predictions of the future. Scripture evidences supernatural design when it anticipates people, places, and events many hundreds of years in advance. Unlike the […]
“He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no skandalon in him.” 1 John 2:10< I first noticed the mother robin as I was cutting my grass yesterday. She was hopping in large circles ahead of me, heroically trying, as I assumed, to divert the mechanical monster I was riding on. […]
We all like to get invitations. There’s something exciting about opening them. Sure, occasionally we get an invitation we’d rather avoid, but how much worse it would be to get no invitations at all because getting an invitation means that someone values us. 2000 years ago, the greatest Someone in the universe stepped out of […]
God’s Awe-Inspiring Invitation To Fulfillment Since Adam’s fall (Gen. 3:8), mankind has instinctively hidden from its Creator. Religion, irreligion, philosophy, and science are all employed by people in futile attempts to guard against an intimate encounter with the living God. Despite this habitual human unbelief and evasion, the Lord repeatedly offers Himself to His creatures. […]
