It seems amazing that thirty years have elapsed since we opened our new church on September 17, 1994. The building was full as Dr. Paisley preached the opening sermon on a very hot day. The new air-conditioning was not working too well so with that, and the packed church, it was not too [...]
Devotional And a man shall be as an hiding-place from the wind and a covert from the tempest. — Isaiah 32:2 Who this MAN is we all know. Who could He be but the Second Man, the Lord from Heaven, the Man of sorrows, the Son of Man? What a hiding-place He has [...]
With the United States presidential election coming up shortly, the abortion issue has surfaced again. “Abortion on demand” is undoubtedly one of the most serious moral issues facing Christians today. When we speak of abortion, we are referring to the deliberate termination of the life of the unborn child, and the first question [...]
Devotional Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus — Philippians 4:6-7 No care, but all prayer. No anxiety, but much joyful [...]
We had a kind gift from a friend last week – three pots of autumn chrysanthemums. They had a mass of buds, and over the last few days have been blossoming out. Watching them made me think of the wonder of flowers created by God. Flowers are living creatures. Man cannot create [...]
Devotional “Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” (Psalm 37:4) Psalm 37 provides cures for the fretting (Hebrew charah, “anger”) that comes in a spiritual battle. These emotions explode from the heart of the righteous saint against those who would dare lift up their [...]
We cannot suggest that one Psalm is above another, but Psalm 103 is a mountain peak of David’s compositions. It contains three things that cannot be measured in human terms which should cause us to “bless the Lord.” [v1]. The Mercy of God [v11] is as great “as the heaven is above [...]
Devotional "I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God." Ezekiel 34:15 Under the divine shepherdry saints are fed to the full. Theirs is not a windy, unsatisfying mess of mere human "thought"; but the Lord feeds them upon the solid, substantial truth of divine [...]
The Olympic games have come and gone with the usual excess of hype, some real and some unreal. Christians should remember that the games are named after Mount Olympus in Greece, the supposed home of the pagan god Zeus. So therefore, don’t be surprised that they are no paragon of virtue. Canada [...]
Devotional “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.” (Psalm 115:1) One of the great words of the Bible is the word “glory,” and it should be evident that glory belongs to God, not man. Indeed, the very “heavens [...]
The Olympic Games in Paris are garnering a lot of attention at present, some good, and some not so good. It was in Paris 1924 that one of the most devoted Christian actions took place. Eric Liddell was born in 1902 in China to missionary parents. He came to Scotland to continue [...]
Devotional "Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it." Proverbs 8:10-11 It is hard to convince people in these days, that anything is or can be better than [...]
