INTRODUCTION:We are celebrating Easter, the day on which we commemorate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead. But not only did He rise, but all things were restored in Him, which is something we model, not only annually, but also on a weekly basis. We worship on the first day because we are …
The Faithful Dead on Tiptoe
The great struggle that the disciples of the Lord had, even after they had given up everything for His sake, and were following Him, was the struggle to understand what He was talking about. He often had to chide them for their unbelief, which is what He called it. They called it not getting the …
Not Where Your Mouth Is
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says to “take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat” (Matt. 6:25).

Click On Through
Years ago, when I was first checking out the whole Reformation thing, I went into a Christian bookstore and asked if they had a copy of Calvin’s Institutes. Oh, the nice lady said. Is that a new title? Lots has happened since then . . . And now here I am, pleased to announce that …
