“God moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform.” Most of us have sung that song by William Cowper and have pondered the way our Lord works behind the scenes to bring about his will. Most of us have experienced his behind the scenes and unexpected means of working on us. On Wednesday April 15, I had no idea
This article argues that biblical faith is not a divinely implanted abstract substance, but a personal, conscious, and developing response to God’s revealed word.

When times are hard and confusing, it’s easy for a believer to feel out of place. Most of us have jobs and social circles with barely enough influence to sway a local school board race, much less move the hearts of world leaders as bombs fall.

April 19, 2026 Greetings again from P.N.G. It has been a turbulent five weeks – literally – since the last report. What made it turbulent? Keep reading! I pray that you are well and not struggling too much despite all of the current insanity in the world. You remain in my thoughts and prayers. Here is a brief recap of
I still remember the day I discovered smelling salts. I was a kid, wandering through my grandfather’s garage. He had run a junk yard for years, and it takes a certain kind of person to do that. You don’t throw much away. You hang on to things because they might be useful someday. You learn to see potential where other

Psalm 98 Psalm 98 is seen by some as an echo of Psalm 96. It opens with the same words. It repeats the same basic theme – the Lord is to be praised! Reasons He is to be praised because his deeds are well done. He is not a God who does second-rate work. “He has done marvellousl things!” (1)
Over the past few months I have been praying to God to equip me to extend grace to others, and most especially, toward someone in my own family. We have been going through a difficult season with her which hopefully will only be temporary, but I have wanted to be able to show grace, mercy and love to her. Many
