Staying on a sports theme from the last couple of weeks, albeit a different time and different game, I read an article recently about some of the original players from the 1972 Summit Series. That would be a hockey series, specifically a series between Canada and the former Soviet Union. I remember watching the last…
Philippians 3:16
I’m not a big sports fan, but you know that. I have a favorite hockey team, and I picked the Habs because that has the potential to annoy the most people. But I really don’t watch sports. If we have a Super Bowl Party, I will watch some of the game. When the Habs make…
Spending for Gold
--> I kind of like the Olympics, I don’t watch a lot of them but do enjoy what I watch and enjoy cheering on the home team.And then I stop and think about how much the Olympics cost. Montreal finally paid for the 1976 games in 2006. Was it any wonder the Olympic Stadium was…
James 3:16
James 3:16 The date was October 1st 1770 and the event was the funeral of noted evangelist of the time George Whitfield. Whitfield was a contemporary of John Wesley and Wesley had been asked by Mr. Whitfield to deliver the funeral message. It is interesting to note that their relationship went back to their days…
Here He Comes
“Planet Earth Pauses to Watch the Spectacle of Sprint” That was the headline that caught my attention the other day, and at first I thought that if the rest of the world was like me, the headline probably wasn’t far off. There doesn’t seem to be an Olympic event that captures the attention of the…
Daniel 3:16
Daniel 3:16 To do what is right or to do what is smart. Have you ever been faced with a situation where those seem to be your only two options? You know what’s right, you know what God requires of you and yet that doesn’t seem to be the wisest course of action. Maybe it’s…
The worth of a life
What is a life worth? Are some lives worth more than others? Human decency would say that all lives are worth the same, and society in general and the media in particular would declare that any other view is racist. However, the truth is that we apparently place more or less value on lives depending…
Ephesians 3:16
How Fast is Too Fast?
--> Absolutely insane. Last week a gentleman I know took me for a drive in his Ferrari, and it was absolutely insane. I have never been in a car that would go from zero to crazy so quick. I wasn’t sure if I was thrilled or terrified. Officially the car will go from zero to…
Joshua 3:16
Joshua 3:16 He was the first of the twelve. Slowly he walked along; his pace governed by the other eleven. The load on his shoulder was a burden but wasn’t nearly as heavy as his thoughts. His feet moved as if they were on auto pilot and his eyes remained fixed on the river in…
