King Herod was disturbed by a baby. Herod wanted to remain King of the Jews. This so called 'Herod the Great' was so desperate to retain his power that he murdered little children. You can read this story in the Bible in Matthew chapter 2. The wise men who were searching for the newborn king must have also had their lives disturbed. They left t... Read More

Heroes of the Faith

Wed, 04 Jul 2012 11:05:43 -0500

I want to pay tribute to my heroes. These are men and women who, like the first disciples of Jesus, have given up everything to follow our Lord. They have given up their careers, their homes, and have moved away from their family and friends. They have been willing to go wherever God sends them. They have served God faithfully through good times an... Read More

Margaret River Bushfire

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 10:07:47 -0600

On Friday I assisted a resident whose house in Gnarabup was damaged in the November Margaret River bushfire. I found it amazing that so few houses were destroyed. The firefighters clearly did a brilliant job to save so many homes! Even more amazing is the fact that God's Son Jesus Christ can save people from death! 2 Timothy 1:9-10 says: God... Read More

Eternal Victory

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:55:45 -0600

The news that Alberto Contador has been stripped of his 2010 Tour de France title got me thinking about these Bible verses: Every competitor in athletic events goes into serious training. Athletes will take tremendous pains-for a fading crown of leaves. But our contest is for a crown that will never fade. I run the race then with determination.... Read More
