From this morning’s reading…
Let love be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good. Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lack diligence in zeal; […]

From Acts 2 – Peter is speaking to the crowds in Jerusalem at Pentecost, attesting to what had happened just a few days before, but prophesied by David hundreds of years before in Talk about it:
A great hymn, written by John Newton, and very applicable today. I’m looking forward to hearing Matthew Smith sing it in person tonight.
THO’ troubles assail
And dangers affright,
Tho’ friends should all fail
And foes all unite;
Yet one thing secures us,
Whatever betide,
The scripture assures us,
The LORD will provide.
The birds […]

“But now I am coming to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.” John 17:13
“The joy of the world always drives out the other joy, as does any dependence on the world; so we must avoid sin in every shape and form. Let […]

Not too long ago I read a new book I didn’t really want to read. Call it an assignment. I didn’t get too far into it before I was thinking thoughts. This is me thinking out loud.
I try to avoid discussing politics. These last two+ years have been very difficult for me. As a […]

Julius Homer Ackerman woke up in heaven on Saturday, November 3, 2018. Julius, born in Muskegon in 1924 to Clare and Pearl (Curry) Ackerman, lived in the Muskegon and Fruitport area most of his life, spending the last three years in Cheboygan. He served in World War II from 1943 – 1946 in the South […]

Going through some cluttered drawers I came upon this short tape from the mid-80s, when the Lansing State Journal went from an afternoon to a morning paper. I’ve thought about that move for a long time. With the change from an after school to before school schedule, we pretty much signed the death-knell for youth […]

Love Is Of GOD
BELOVED, let us love:
love is of God;
In God alone hath love
its true abode.
Beloved, let us love:
for they who love,
They only, are His sons,
born from above.
Beloved, let us love:
for love is rest,
And he who […]

I love to read Paul’s prayers. What a great way to learn how to remember and pray for others.
Take this prayer, from Philemon 4-6.
“I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and […]

John R W Stott sums up the beatitudes perfectly with these words.
The beatitudes paint a comprehensive portrait of a Christian disciple. We see him first alone on his knees before God, acknowledging his spiritual poverty and mourning over it. This makes him meek or gentle in all his relationships, since honesty compels him to […]
