In considering this title, I had a little difficulty making my choice. A biography is defined as a person’s life story written by someone else. Certainly, the Bible was written by many people, consisting of sixty-six books. An autobiography is written by the person himself and considering Peter’s statement in 2 Peter 2:21, “For the…

Recently, I watched a program on CBC called, “Dragon’s Den”. In the “Den”, five self-made multi-millionaires are approached by entrepreneurs and inventors to obtain funding for the development of their product and business.

St. Paul, in writing to the Ephesians, includes a prayer for them which, in Chapter 3 Verse16, includes the following, “That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened by might by His Spirit in the inner man.” Paul knew from experience that strengthening had carried him through his…

These are the wonderful words Jesus gave His disciples after Judas had accepted the bread from Jesus and left the room under the control of Satan. Of course, this touched off a discussion because the disciples claimed they did not know where He was going or the way He was going. Leaving that discussion aside…
