Lip Balm – Proverbs 10:18-21
Here, I have a small tin of my favourite Lip Balm. It is an all-natural product that sooths and heals cracked or dry lips. I don’t use it very often, but when I do, it does an excellent job of healing my sore lips. Did you know that the book of Proverbs speaks of a […]
Be Solid and Stable! – 1 Corinthians 15:58
In my youth, there were times during the winter in the State of Michigan, USA, that the ground was frozen solid, but the temperature raised just enough to rain.

My Son … the way of Life – Proverbs 6:20-23
As a child, we had cats back in our cattle barn. Most of them were tame, but we had a few that were feral. I once found a nest of tiny kittens of a feral cat. I tried to pick one up, and it threatened to tear my hand to shreds. It was ferocious. Humans, […]
Being a Refresher – 2 Timothy 1:16
As a boy, during hay bailing season, my brother, cousin and I often worked in the hot sun unloading hay bails into the elevator that carried them up into the top of the barn. Other times, we were up in the hot dusty hay loft stacking the hay as it fell from the elevator. After […]

Sowing & Reaping – Galatians 6:6-10
One of my favourite vegetables to grow in the summer is tromboncino. They are resistant to disease and pest, taste great, and they produce abundantly. Each year, we allow one of the fruits to fully mature so that we can harvest the seeds. These are the seeds from just one fruit. Not only does one […]

The Candle of the LORD – Proverbs 20:27
Candles today come in many shapes, sizes, colours, and fragrances. Candles are used at weddings, at special dinners, for romantic evenings, at Christmas, and just for enjoyment. This evening, we are going to look at another kind of candle that has a very important purpose. Transition (Proverbs 20:27) “The spirit of man is the candle […]
When Sleep is Fatal – 1 Peter 5:8-9
Read 1 Peter 5:1-9. Peter addressed this section particularly to elders or pastors. Pastors are to be shepherds, protecting their flock from danger. However, verses 5-9 also have a personal application for every Christian. In verses 8-9, Peter gives commands concerning our enemy, the devil. He and his countless demons are constantly trying to defeat […]
