Learning from Pilgrim’s Progress: Talking Without The Walking
I am reading through Pilgrim’s Progress and learning a lot from it. In this section, Christian is talking to Faith about a man called “Talkative.” This man is all talk but no walk as far as Christianity is concerned. Here is what Christian says about him: “Deceived! you may be sure of it; remember the […]

Learning From Death
Today our family attended the funeral of our neighbor across the street. I recently wrote about it in a post. I took the kids with me and my wife met me there. Some believe that children should be kept protected from seeing death up-close but I am of the belief that they need to learn […]

A Life Long Resolution
As we come to the end of 2013, many start to think of what resolutions they want to carry out or attempt for the “new” year. Elsewhere I have written why I don’t believe in resolutions, but if there is a resolution for me, it is found in Joshua: “Only carefully obey the command and […]

Who is My Neighbor? The Lonely, The Elderly, Those in Need and Hurting
It often behooves me how it is possible for us to live our lives not caring for those in need. And I am not talking about our friends or family. It is easy to be friends with those who love us and can reciprocate. But what about those who we don’t know and can’t reciprocate? […]

Learning from Pilgrim’s Progress: In The Grip of His Grace
Reading Pilgrim’s Progress is very instructive for me and for any Christian. A part about grace called my attention today. It involved Interpreter showing Christian excellent and profitable things. He leads him through a room where there is a fire strongly burning even though there is a man is in the back that continues to […]

Jesus Son of Abraham, Lord and King!
When God called Abraham to leave his home, he gave him a promise of giving him a new land, bringing out of him great nations and kings (Genesis 12:1-3; 15:1-7). He said to Abraham: “I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall […]

When God Gives You Up To Your Desires
There comes a time when after people insist on not following God’s path, even though the evidence of his calling is irrefutable, God gives them up to that which they want. This happened with Israel. It happened when they insisted on a king thus rejected God: “And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the […]
