Some of us can talk about our fathers for days while some can only talk about our fathers briefly.  However, there are some who cannot talk about our fathers at all, either because they were not present during the time we grew up or it’s simply too painful to talk about them.  On the con...

One of the greatest hymns ever written is “It is Well with My Soul.”  It is great not only for the message it conveys but also for the people who wrote the lyrics and composed the tune.  It was H.G. Spafford who wrote the lyrics.  He lost a fortune when the great Chicago fire cons...

Last week I made an announcement and asked for your prayers for Oom John Oey who had recently been diagnosed with liver cancer.  On Friday his daughter asked me to come and see him.  So, I came, and we spent time talking, reading the Bible, and praying.  He has lost some weight becaus...

Every time I carry Joshua, our eight-month-old grandson, he always turns his head toward me and studies my face. He does not do that to Santy because he is familiar with her; every week Santy comes and babysits him.  So, what do I do whenever he turns his head to me and studies my face?  [...

One of the misconceptions that we develop after being a Christian is that we should not make plans.  The reason is because we simply cannot.  It is God who makes plans for us, and we are to just follow them.  Well, it is true that God has plans for us and He expects us to […]...

The other day Santy and I took our grandchildren to Target to buy toys because the birthday of one of them happens to be in April.  I noticed their biggest struggle was to say “no” to themselves.  It was obvious that they wanted to purchase more than one toy and had to resist the tempt...
