Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
The Repentant Sinner
And the criminal said unto Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.” And Jesus replied to him, “Truly I say unto you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” Luke 23:42-43 There was once a man who lived for seventy years in the world, and lived in...
A Sinner’s Morning Prayer
O my Savior, help me. For I am slow to learn, prone to forget, weak to climb. I am in the foothills when I should be on the heights. I am pained by my graceless heart, my prayerless days, my poverty of love, my sloth in the heavenly race, my unclean conscience, my...
The Center Of It All

The Sun Rises
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963), The Weight Of Glory
But
But for the grace of God.
The Trial Of Job
Sometimes God allows tests of our loyalty in hard service and sharp temptations, so that through our faithfulness and bravery He may triumph over Satan. The Roman general Pompey boasted that a nod of his head would send his soldiers scrambling up the steepest rock on...
The Land Of Beginning Again
I wish that there were some wonderful place called The Land Of Beginning Again; where all our mistakes and all our heartaches and all of our poor selfish grief, could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door, and never put on again. I wish we could come on it all...
