THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER After Bible Study last Wednesday, at a little after 5, Oom Anthon slipped into the eternal presence of the Lord. Prior to that he had difficulty breathing, so he was taken to ER and while there in the hospital he suffered cardiac arrest and had to be put on life support. So, ...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER On Thursday in the wee morning hour, Jesus Our Lord came and took our sister Tante Sioe home. We certainly didn’t expect that to happen. You see, last week she fell down and fractured her pelvic bone; other than that she seemed fine. We all thought that she would just need ...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER In her book, Each New Day, Corrie ten Boom tells the story of William Nagenda, an African evangelist. One day he came home from his travel and was met at the station by his three-year old son, who upon seeing his father made a request, “Daddy, I will carry your suitcase.”...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Today we have come to the fourth week of Advent—the last Sunday before Christmas-- and the fourth candle, which is called the Magi’s Candle, signifies love. The advent or the coming of Jesus the Son of God personifies the love of the Father who sent His Only Son to the wo...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Today we have come to the third Advent week and the third candle, which is called the Shepherd’s Candle, signifies joy. Perhaps the word “joy” is an understatement to describe what the shepherds felt upon seeing the angel of the Lord and meeting the Savior of the world ...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER On Thursday at 8 o’clock in the morning, Our Lord Jesus came and took our brother Tensas to his final and eternal home. Just two Sundays ago he was still here with us but today he is in heaven with our brothers and sisters who have gone before us. To quote the […]...
