COMFORTING OTHERS, GLORIFYING GOD!

(March 12, 2025) Dr Richard Winter shares encouragingly…

Some of you may remember Art Linkletter hosting Kids Say the Darndest Things TV program. It had excerpts of kids sharing experiences on different issues one of which was prayer.

For instance, a little girl talking to God prayed, ‘Dear God, thanks for my little brother. But what I prayed for was a puppy.’ How’s that for an honest prayer.

A little boy prayed, ‘Hey God, could you just stick another holiday between Christmas and Easter because nothing is good there right now.’ Kids can live for holidays, can’t they?

Kids grow up and their prayers become much more profound! Adults who don’t believe in God often struggle with the question: ‘How can an all-loving, all-powerful God allow evil and suffering to exist?’

SEVEN ‘I AMs’ OF CHRIST

(May 28, 2024) Richard Winter shares…

When God told Moses that he was the one chosen to bring Israel out of their darkness in Egypt, the astounded and uncertain shepherd had said, ‘Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, “The God of your fathers has sent me to you,” and they ask me, “What is His name?” Then what shall I tell them?’

God’s reply was ‘I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: “I AM has sent me to you”’ (Exodus 3:9-10).

No doubt you can image Moses thinking ‘“I AM” has sent me? They’ll probably say, “And who’s this I AM?”’ But…  dear reader, do you know who the ‘I AM’ of scripture is?
