“Thou art worthy, O Lord”, “Thou art worthy…” and “Worthy is the Lamb…” These three phrases are found in Revelation 4 and 5 and are appropriately called by C.I. Scofield, “Universal adoration of the Lamb who is King.” As I thought about these phrases and about this season, I was reminded of the adoration given the baby Jesus by those present at and near His birth. Luke records these instances of praise. The first is found in Luke 1:46 where

Last night I received a phone call from a friend whose aged mother was in the hospital, living her last few days on this earth. My mind quickly drifted and fond memories of times spent with this friend flooded my mind. I would love to share a couple of those humourous stories with you but space does not permit. We don’t spend much time together anymore, but the Christian bond that had been made in those early days of our

What are the dreams that you have for your life? What are the plans that you have already you to where you want to be? Where are the decisions that you have planned for your life going to take you? Who are you listening to for advice? Where does God fit into all of this, if at all? In Exodus 2, we are introduced to a man that had the miraculous written all over him. In his childhood, he most

As I think about the new school year, I think about how we as staff should be focused on what the Lord wants from us. The Lord wants us to give of ourselves in order for us to be more effective in the way we minister to the students. When we put Christ first in our lives, we learn how to live a more abundant life, a life filled with favour and blessing, and a life that is sacrificial to

There are times when life becomes downright intimidating. We experience seasons of great disillusionment, discouragement and even despair because of many of the situations that are normal to life. Any given day can present us with new challenges in the realm of our health, finances, relationships and unmet expectations. None of God’s people are exempt from knowing difficulty as we journey through this broken world in these sinful, mortal bodies. Together, we experience trials that are untimely, uncomfortable, unwanted, unpredictable,

The command to be Spirit-filled and the evidences of the Spirit’s filling are found in Ephesians 5:18-6:19. Men especially are to treat their wives as Christ cherishes the church (Eph. 5:25,28), to be husbands worthy of honour, respect and authority (Eph. 5:22-24,33). Men are to be faithful in the area of the servant/master relationship (Eph. 6:5-9). Today this would be imaged in our employer/employee situation. They are to be dedicated Christian soldiers in the battle against evil and the evil

I am intrigued with the simplicity of the demands of God on the nation of Israel as stated in Micah’s prophecy. They are found in Micah 6:8 and they are these: “to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” At the time of this writing (about 730 BC), the northern kingdom, represented by its capital, Samaria, was about to be overrun by Assyria from the north. The southern kingdom of Israel, represented by its
