NO MAN IS AN ISLAND Humanity is like an enormous spider web, so that if you touch it anywhere, you set the whole thing trembling. As we move around this world and as we act with kindness, perhaps, or with indifference, or with hostility, toward the people we meet, we too are setting the great […]
TERROR IN THE STREETS My wife and I were in London exactly one month ago. It was peaceful and vibrant. Now there is terror in the streets. What can we make of it? First of all, it is not surprising. Satan brought evil into this world in the Garden of Eden; and ever since, good […]
Where Your Feet Take You “THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD it,” she says, “you were supposed to devote these talks to religious matters. Incarnation and Grace and Salvation were some of the noble words you used.” I say that feet are very religious too. She says that’s what you think. I say that if you want […]

Those with Jesus catch glimpses of heaven before they ever arrive. Jesus has put eternity in our hearts.” From Edge […]
THE HIDING PLACE God has been at work in the affairs of mankind throughout history. How do I know? The Bible tells me so. Oftentimes His involvement is a hidden story.
