“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy”. I Peter 4:12 &13.
Suffering is something that at first thought no one desires, few look forward to, and most hope to avoid. Struggling with it is never easy, and accepting it as God wills and desires, demands great surrender, and true dependence upon God. To be honest, I think most believers hope to avoid suffering, concentrate on health slogans trying to avoid the “ouch” of human problems we all face. [more]

On August 5, 2008 I will reach my 82nd. birthday and continue my 65th. year of Evangelism. Only the dear Lord Jesus has made this possible, as He is the one who is in charge of a believers life. Our God is always in control. What then is the responsibility of the older saints in every church? Since I am one, I want to write about older folks and their lives and the responsibilities of their final years on earth. To many, older folks seen to be just taking up space, talking of their pains and just waiting to die. We must not be a statistic but a participating member of our church. It seems to me there are at lease seven things we can still do. [more]

“Do that which is right in the eyes of the Lord.” Deut. 13:18.
It seems to me that most of today’s thinking is in itself unacceptable behavior. Pressure everywhere is being applied to change the proven absolute truths of God. How foolish man has become. Common sense should tell us there are many things we cannot change. Fire burns. It always has and it always will. Water is wet. It always has been and it always will be. The law of gravity cannot be changed. Right is right and wrong is wrong. It always has been and it always will be. [more]
