1 Chronicles 16:25-27:
For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
The Great War (1914-1918) devastated Britain and France. The loss of life in unceremonial and industrial slaughter, was overwhelming and later marked in every city, town and village by memorials marked with multitudes of the inscribed names of the dead. These two countries never again wanted another European War.
Signed today in 1938 the 'Munich Pact' seemed to ensure that Anglo-German relations would never ...

Job 28:7:
There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: KJV
Tonight, the geese arrived.
In North America, the transition of the seasons from summer to winter is heralded in cacophonic announcement by the arrival of those curl tipped winged and honking hoards, who, as chatty winners at an old ladies Bingo club, slide elegantly down the invisible banisters of the air and take their place in seats of water, cold and silver in the setting sun. The Canada geese have come to ...

Blessed is the man You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Of Your holy temple

Isaiah 41:14:
“Fear not, you worm Jacob, You men of Israel! I will help you,” says the LORD And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Yet just as the largest and strongest of athletes can be felled by a mere microbe and left sweating and moaning in a gibbering heap, ...

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called," concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.
God is good but God is tough.
“Lord, don’t mention me to the enemy. Lord do not say to him ‘Hey, have you seen my servant Robert?’ No Lord, please keep my name out of any conversation with him, lest I be tested like Job of old. As for Abraham, Lord just what were You thinking? Asking a man to kill his own son? Putting him through what can only be described as torture and for days and for what? Just so You could ...
