In Hosea 1:2 God instructs the prophet to "go, take for yourself a wife of harlotry. And children of harlotry. For the land has committed great harlotry by departing from the Lord." It's unknown why he chose Gomer as his wife. Her lifestyle would have been in sharp...
The Order Is Important
I remember attending a service in Toronto, by a noted teacher on signs and wonders. I am not of the persuasion that these ceased with the early church. I accept the statement of Jesus, in John 14:12, 'Whoever believes in Me, will also do the works that I do, and...
I Want To Know Him
"I want to know Him" (Phi.3:10) Do you remember being asked as a child, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The standard answers were usually a doctor/nurse, teacher, policeman, lawyer, or some role model from either a family member or TV personality. Yet as...

James has just spoken of the corporate abuse of employers who have fattened their coffers on the backs of their workers. Unthinkable in his day and equally unthinkable in ours. In spite of all the rhetoric surrounding financial abuse and the need to address the...
Procrastinators Need Not Apply
Peter Jennings, during the crisis in Lebanon, reported on a breach in a wall where one woman risked her life everyday from sniper fire because the only way to secure food for her family was to pass by that spot. In Jennings musings on this he said, "There are those...
The Silent Voice – Part 2
I have appreciated the kind words shown after the last post. I think many people can relate to the silencing of the voices of what most of us would consider the majority in favor of those with political and financial clout. Some politicians glibly tell us that if we...
Mercy Always Wins In The End
I have a friend who is a lawyer. Apart from learning many things from my esteemed friend I have learned this principle. He once told me that pure justice is exacting and merciless. What pure justice is concerned about is applying the letter of the law to whatever the...
