Powerful Words – Psalm 12

We have various cultural proverbs that indicate the relative unimportance of words. We say, “Talk is cheap.” We say, “Sticks and stones, but words will never hurt me.” We say, “A picture is worth 1000 words.” But it is not true. Words are powerful. Cheap talk often lands us in trouble. Words often hurt more deeply than stones. The proverb

Should We Flee?

Psalm 11 Psalm 11 was written when the psalmist was being encouraged to abandon his struggle for what was right and flee into the mountains. In the Psalm we hear both the voices of those giving this advice and the voice of the psalmist as he expresses his confidence in God. He refuses to accept the counsel of despair. We

Trust and Proclaim (Psalms 9-10)

Is this one psalm or two? It is hard to say for sure. Most Hebrew manuscripts make it two. But the Septuagint and many other ancient Bibles treat this as one psalm. Also, there is no heading on Psalm 10, unusual in this “book” of the Psalter. There is an acrostic pattern in the Hebrew which is carried on as

The Goodness of God’s Law

Text: Deut. 4:1-14 Within Christian fellowships, there are some perfectly good Biblical words that have been given a negative connotation. One such word is the word ‘law’. This has happened despite the very positive way in which the Bible speaks about God’s law. Where then has this negativity come from? For one thing, it has roots in the writings and

Notre Maison

Greetings Everyone, It’s been a while since our last report, so I thought I would share a few lines to keep you posted. Not much has changed regarding the lack of security in Haiti.

The Myth of Impossibility

About seven years ago we bought one of those “bladeless” fans. For the first couple years it worked very well. But eventually my wife said, “I don’t think that fan moves air as well as it used to.” I tested it and found that she was right. The fan barely did anything even on the highest setting. The owner’s manual says,

Righteousness Based on Faith

Passages: Deut 30:11-14, Romans 10:5-15, Pretty much every society has it’s heroes. We honour greatness or at least our idea of what that is. So we award the Stanley Cup and the Gray Cup. We admire Olympic Gold, the Order of Canada, the Victoria Cross and other marks of achievement. We admire human greatness and when we see it, a
