When we study and compare the four Gospels, we find John altogether different. It is interesting that while we learn much from what is similar, we learn most from what is different. It is well known that John as he writes, omits several events, which receive special attention by his three fellow evangelists, Matthew, Mark […]
I should have FELT honored. One of my pieces of art had been accepted for an art show in the nearby trendy community of Niagara-on-the-Lake. College art students from our area had been vying for a place in the prized showing. I should have felt honored, but I didn’t. The painting that had been chosen […]
William Trotter (1818-1865) was born again in 1830 under the gospel preaching of Methodist preacher, Billy Dawson. In the book, Chief Men Among the Brethren, Henry Pickering claims that Trotter had “done the work of three lives” in his 47-year race through life. The statement seems true enough.

Would it not be wonderful to celebrate the Second Advent of the Lord instead of His first? Let me illustrate how near it must be from Elijah’s last journey in 2 Kings 2. The last places he visited once knew Jehovah’s power and presence, but no more. GILGAL (v. 1) In the conquest of Canaan, […]
“For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: […]
