Many of us get caught up in the idea that sin is a list of all the mistakes we make. God’s Word tells us that sin is more than what we do or don’t do … it’s a power that can control our lives, and if left unchecked, we’ll find ourselves “stuck” where we don’t Read more

I don’t like mushrooms … those fungus-like things found growing in places you wouldn’t normally cultivate food. While sitting in the orthodondist’s waiting room, I discovered an article on the nutritional merits of mushrooms and it said they have the highest concentration of vitamin D of any fruit or vegetable.

We’ve all run into them, in the streets, in our homes and in our churches … we may even be one. I’m talking about the poor listeners.

All for Vegetables? [Audio clip: view full post to listen] From Kashmir to Tibet, from Palestine to Caledon, land disputes and the wars they spawn are a fact of human existence. Dave B. reminded me of the words of Mark Twain following this Sunday’s service: Buy land, they’re not making it anymore. This week we Read more

I’m afraid there’s no audio this week: more of those frustratingly difficult to pin-down technical difficulties. On the bright side, we did figure out why the audio quality from the past couple weeks is so sub-standard. Apparently the internal mic on the laptop we use to record the messages was turned on. Hopefully we’ll be Read more
