Have you ever thought about the splendour of creation ? The vastness of the universe that stretches beyond our gaze? The thousand miles a salmon swims from spawning? The graceful decent the leaf embarks in the gusty autumn days? The swirl and flurry in the moonlights silver shiver Of winters unblemished virgin snow? Before the stars were infant in their twinkling Our Faithful father spoke and it was so. Have you ever thought about God's covenant with Noah ? When you see a rainbow cross a valley midst the rain. Faithful to his promise that he will never Flood this hopeless, faithless, wicked world again. Or think about the promise made to Abraham That he would have children more than all the sands beneath the sun. The cross is the way God kept his promise Where our Faithful Father spared not his only Son. Have you ever thought about the beauty of Salvation God's law requires death for all who sin We inherit our sinful nature at birth from Adam Which is why we must be Born ...
Heaven is? I have heard so many expressions from ordinary people about Heaven. These are wonderful notions but certainly untrue about God’s wonderful home. "This is heaven...." is an expression I have heard quite often. Sometimes the speaker is referring to a place, such as a beach, or they are having a quiet coffee. If you ask most people what the word "Heaven" means they will most likely tell you it means "Paradise." It may then shock them to learn it doesn't mean "Paradise" but rather, simply, "The sky."

He is still there two thousand years later, wai...
There have been great people down through the centuries. Some names, at least it would seem, will never be forgotten. Nimrod, Alexander the Great, Julius Ceaser, Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, Albert Einstein, to name but a few. But when it comes to names of God, we seem to remember one or two and for the most part, we don't mention them much. We call him: Our Father Lord Jehovah Abba Yahweh We know he told Moses that his name is "I Am that I Am."(Exodus 3:14) It is of little surprise then that Jesus would use the same title again and again. In the Gospel of John we read: "I am the Bread of Life." (6:35) "I am the Light of the World." (8:12) "I am the Door." (10:7) "I am the Good Shepherd." (10:11) "I am the Resurrection and the Life." (11:25) "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." (14:6) "I am the true Vine." (15:1) "Before Abraham was, I Am." (8:58) It is al...
