For years I had dined at the table of deceit Fulfilling my own desires and lusts. Habitual sin once a daily routine As I fellowshipped with the unjust. Readily I followed the multitude of despair, The blind leading the blind into the ditch. Laying my treasures on things of this world; Plotting schemes of how […]

Scared…big…beautiful…best describe my memory of church when I was about 5 years old. I have some good memories of the years we attended, although they come in bits and pieces.

Life is like “vapour,” says the book of James, “that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away” (James 4:14). If life is so […]
