A Christian man shared recently that he’s had a wonderful spiritual breakthrough as a result of catching up with his former pastor whom he had not seen for many years. In conversation he told the pastor, “Sometimes I think God must look at me and shake His head in despair, thinking, ‘what am I going to do …

God said, “Humility, not ability.”
A friend from overseas stayed for a couple of nights recently. He knows my stand for the Lord Jesus, the gospel and the Bible. During times of both national and international disasters he’s heard me speak of the Bible’s promises of blessing and protection for obedience to God and His promises of judgment and lack of protection for …
They All Speak For Jesus … But Which Jesus?
I remember twenty-five years ago as a naive, young Christian, being very impressed with the pastor’s question, “What would you do if Jesus came to your home? Would you have to hide any books, magazines, videos, recorded music?” He asked the wrong question. Based on events and happenings that took place in his personal life just a few …

Freemasonry Is An Offense To God!
In the supermarket the other evening, I met up with a Christian sister whom I’d not seen for some months and, as is usually the case after an exchange of greetings, I got to hear of what’s happening in her current church, as well as what’s happening in her former church. In the current church they are, “between …
Religious but Godless
Recently I watched a TV program about the work of hospital chaplains as they minister to sick and dying people. This comment struck me: this isn’t about Catholic teaching or Jewish teaching, it is about what’s in the person themselves, making their own spirituality express itself in however that needs to be. Another comment: our chaplains …
It Is Not Only Rome That Has Its Pope!
After reading a post on this blog of my experiences with a church group, a Christian man sent me an email the other day asking to make contact by telephone. He had been having dealings with two or three people from that church and he mentioned my name and that particular testimony about them. Even though one …
God’s Response Was Swift!
Recently I watched some video teachings on Babylonian religious practices. I found the subject extremely interesting as the lecturer tied in Babylonian temple deities and religious symbols and objects with what we see in Romanism and Islam … statues and symbols representing all kinds of deities, sun gods, moon gods, goddesses, ritual care and practice and the worship of anything considered sacred. Following …
The Perpetrators of Lies & Evils
Recently I read this statement: Most people are highly reluctant to admit that they have been conned or have shown poor judgment. In 28 years of studying human nature I find that to be a perfectly accurate statement. So accurate in fact, that I believe it to be the number one reason why the grandest lies & evils have been …
The Fig-leaf Religionist
A man, being interviewed on TV the other morning told the interviewer that, although he believed in the existence of God, he “wasn’t religious” and therefore he did not believe in the need to embrace any of the world’s religions. He was then asked about his death and what he thought God would say to him …
The Do-gooders Are Seduced
In viewing an old video the other day, the Christian lecturer was explaining ‘evil’ to his audience. He told them that the most dangerous evils in the world are presented to us in, “very pleasant shapes.” Saying too, that many advocates of such are, “very pleasant people, as people.” He gave the example of the do-gooder, who, “only wants to do good to you, whether you want …
