2 Corinthians 12:1-8:
It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago — whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows
such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man — whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows — how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities. For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. ...

Psalm 104:14,15a:
He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the service of man, That he may bring forth food from the earth, And wine that makes glad the heart of man,
Well it finally happened. At a communion service, a church from the now conservative Southern Baptist Convention offered two cups to the congregation. One alcoholic, the other one just juice. This emerging church plant of the 21st Century believed itself to be more biblical in offering an alcoholic alternative at communion time? In Engand, my part of the world this is not even an issue but in Kentucky which has been ...

Romans 1:18-23:
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man — and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. NKJV.
Well, I see the inflatable church was in the news again today. The original church designed by a British company, was some 47x47x25 feet, and included a blow-up organ, altar, pulpit, pews, candles and ‘stained glass’ windows. Blow up Vicar is extra.
There are quite a few of these inflatable churches now scattered throughout the world, and are used by various denominations. They are primarily novelty items used for ...

The vicar stood at the exit of the church shaking the hand of each parishioner as they left the service. Spotting an elderly new comer he reaches out his hand and taking hers thanks her for coming and asks if she enjoyed the sermon? She looks him in the eye and forgetting the word ‘acoustics’, she replies, “Well my dear. I’m sure it was very good but what with all the bad agnostics you have in these old buildings, ...

Romans 15:1-4:
We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification. For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me." NKJV.
As I write tonight’s Whisper, I am living in a beautiful terraced house. Bounded by the road at the front, on the left and right and rear, we are surrounded by our neighbours. It is surprisingly quiet considering the fact that we live on the same old anthill! I breakfasted out in the garden this morning and the quiet of the day was broken by a very intrusive builder, his radio blaring and his small dog, yapping ...
