    Peter’s Quote of The Day

    I have suffered many pains in my long life; pains in my body, pains in my soul, but no pain seared my heart more than the pain I felt when my Son died. It is said that no parent should bury their child. I say, “I don’t know if they celebrate birthdays in heaven, but

    God – A Man?

    “Jesus came to die for my sins” – we have heard the expression many times – so many times, that I think it has begun to sound a bit like a ‘stuck record’. After hearing these words so many times, they seem to have lost their power. They don’t seem to cut as deeply into

    The Divine Romance – Part One

    During our walk with the Lord, it is often good to read something that causes us to stop and think about our current situation and our standing with God. Sometimes we all need a little ‘jolt’ just to put us back on a serious footing with the Lord. ‘The Divine Romance’ is such an article.
