>A Revelation of Jesus Christ

30, Dec 2008

>

If you’ve ever been daring enough to take more than a snap-shot look at the book of Revelation, you may be pleasantly surprised that it is much more encouraging than you may have thought, or been taight. I have recently been able to study briefly some more on the book of Revelation. In doing so, [...]

>Close Encounters of the Polar Bear Kind!

29, Dec 2008

>Imagine doing your everyday work and suddenly coming face to face with one hell of a hungry polar bear? Well, in Alaska, as the pictures show, this is a real threat.

>Why didn't Jesus just zap them?!

28, Dec 2008

>I always love how kids seem to have a way of asking questions that “stump you”, with getting right to the heart of something in such odd ways, where you are left thinking, “I have no idea!” Watch this clip from BBC series “Outnumbered”, where the kids are at a wedding grilling the vicar on [...]

26, Dec 2008

Okay, so some may scoff at me for being a royalist or the like, tuning in to such an old fashioned tradition. I mean, what does the queen have to offer us today? How on earth can she have anything to relate to us as she sits on her throne in a palace far removed [...]

Have yourself a truly Charlie Brown Christmas

25, Dec 2008

What is Christmas all about? Linus in this well-known comic strip has the answer. I couldn’t have put it better myself. Enjoy this Christmas morning, and remember in the midst of everything – Jesus, the greatest gift of all.

>God With Us

24, Dec 2008

>Today, I have been reminded of the name “Emmanuel”, spoken of prophetically in the Old Testament (Isaiah 7:14), and assigned to Jesus at his birth (Matthew 1:23). 
“Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” Which means, “God is with us.””

Mental Destruction…and my MAC?!

22, Dec 2008

>Ah yes, that beloved term “Mental Destruction”. Having discovered someone navigating to my blog through a web search of that term, I was, to say the least, rather puzzled?! How did that happen? What does that say about my blog, about me…and yes, about you, the readers?! Are we all headed on a path of [...]
