The new heaven and earth are coming

When I moved from the farm to the corporate world, we had to buy a house. I find it quite funny that your taste is always just outside your budget. We fell in love with a house that was not so new anymore.  Over the years we saved and bit by bit we worked hard […]

Faith that is shaken

It’s getting harder and harder to believe. The smarter humans become, the more they get to know science, the deeper they dig into the mighty universe, the greater the challenge to believe like a child.  Jesus said we must believe like children again to inherit eternal life. When the knowledgeable people investigate God’s Word it […]

A soul in pain for others

Let me tell you a story.  Long, long ago there lived an old man in a village. The village’s people had, according to them, a very nice life. However, the man was very worried about the town’s way of life.  You see, none of the town’s inhabitants were worried about moral values. There were no […]

Be prepared 

I saw a video of a priest who said satan wasn’t fighting against Muhammed. He wasn’t fighting against Buddha, and even less against Krishna. He was only fighting against Jesus. Why?

Read to remember

As I was standing around the fire with my pal, I couldn’t wait to tell him what had happened to me that week. I started the story at the very end, but he stopped me after the second sentence. “You said that last night when we were in the restaurant.”  I felt like a fool.  […]

Keep them away from hell

I actually didn’t want to say anything about this verse, because it refers to people who do not live according to God’s will. Yet, I suspect we also need to hear it, because we may have a role to play here.  5They’re the ones who will be called on the carpet—and before God himself.  Let’s […]

Say and do only nice things

Now and then something trips me up. No, not physically, but so to speak, literally and figuratively, no pun intended. But if a horse can stumble with four legs, I most certainly can too with one mouth …  You see, we very easily talk about other people who said this or that or did this […]

Be a team player

Some people are just disagreeable. They don’t want to work with the team and always want to do their own thing; they are simply contrary.   Chances are they won’t retain their spot in the team. They are left off the team for a while to do their own thing. They may be called up again […]

Like a mother hen … 

Today, my mom still tells me and my brother and sister how much she enjoys it when all her chicks are under her wings. When life with its challenges had us in tears, it brought her immense pleasure when we dropped in on her. Then she would do anything to lighten our load.   A mother, […]
