Mind Your Mouth! (1)

'Of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks...' Luke 6:45 NKJV 'Oh, it was just a bunch of meaningless words. No big deal!' Wrong! Our words are a big deal and they do mean a lot! 'A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man [...]

The call to love (1)

Hey, here's an idea... why not take your television out for a romantic walk down to the park. Yeah, then you could stroll down to the mall, just you and your 102cm widescreen walking hand in hand. You could treat her to some new batteries for her remote. Take her HD tuner out for something [...]

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. It sounds like a pretty expensive law firm at the top of a shiny office building, doesn't it? Well, these three weren't lawyers, but they were firm on God's law. You see, a foreign king had ideas above his station; he wanted people to bow down to him as if he [...]

The roller-coaster ride of life (3)

CS Lewis (the author of The Chronicles of Narnia) also wrote a book imagining what it's like to be a devil who wants to stop a Christian loving God.
