The Favour of the King
The Favour of the King Like many others, I enjoy keeping up with the British royals. The birth of the newest prince in July was exciting, not only because of the happiness of the young parents, but also because of all the history behind that little boy. As I’ve read about kings and their courts […]

Healing
Divine healing or deliberate hoaxing? Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I believe that God heals. Healing was a significant part of Jesus’ ministry. It is one of the gifts of the Spirit mentioned by Paul in 1 Corinthians 12. Sadly, the Spirit’s “gifts of healing” (v. 9) have often been corrupted and distorted by […]
God of Surprise!
When we survey God’s interaction with mankind; it has always been full of surprises. Full of the unexpected and the amazing. People have consistently had trouble accepting God and his unorthodox and paradoxical ways. Creating the universe out of nothing still boggles our minds, and those of scientists and atheists. Abraham and Sarah were surprised […]
In Search of Knowledge
Author and evangelist Ravi Zacharias tells of being a graduate student when a new edition of Encyclopædia Britannica was released. It was a massive work that had taken 14 years to produce and he remembers being fascinated by the statistics: 200 advisors, 300 editors, 4,000 contributors, over 100,000 entries, 34 million dollars and 43 million […]
One Small Life
The little babe was a gift too big to wrap. That one small life was all life. A King, born at the back of the Pub and there was the rub. No one expected the helpless, the human, the ordinary. Those in the know, with robes stretching back to Moses, The priests with pedigree, […]
The Meaning of Christmas
Though we are in the Christmas season when we celebrate the joy of Jesus’ birth, we are in shock following two horrific events. In the Philippines, Typhoon Pablo killed over 1000 people with 900 more still missing and 80,000 left homeless. In Newtown, Connecticut, 20 children and six teachers and administrators were brutally murdered by […]
Is Mary “the mother of God”?
There are many mysteries to life and Christianity. How on earth does God become one with us? The story of Christmas provides the answer. A controversial question that goes along with Christmas, is the role of Mary. Is she “the mother of God?”, or simply and only, “the mother of Christ” ? We invite you […]
Advent: Bad News, Good News
You probably know about the 1815 Battle of New Orleans, in which the Americans resoundingly defeated the British. But do you know that this battle was fought two weeks after the signing of a peace treaty ending the War of 1812? News traveled slowly 200 years ago—but not today! We are kept on constant alert about everything and […]
