Nearing the end of his gospel Matthew records Jesus asking his disciples a weighty question: “Who do people say that I am?” after a variety of responses ranging from John the Baptist to Elijah, Jesus asked another. “Who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the […]
Jealousy had trumped brotherly love and Joseph lost his brightly colored robe and freedom. He was sold into slavery. Bad went to worse where he was – wrongfully accused of rape and thrown into jail. Innocent, yet accused by powerful people he was in jail, in a foreign country. Even though things looked pretty bleak […]
Tug O’ War. A true test of who is stronger. Straining on the rope, pulling, leveraging and digging in, all part of the struggle. At first (if the contest is semi equitable) the struggle may be marked in inches and then after the lesser opponent has completely exhausted his strength, the loss is then measured […]
One amazing testament to the creative power of a supernova is the existence of neutron stars, which are commonly found at the location of a supernova remnant. Neutron stars are the most dense matter in existence just under black holes. Neutron stars are so dense that one teaspoon (5 milliliters) of its material would have […]
Twenty five years ago it was becoming main stream for fathers to be in the delivery room while their wife was giving birth. Secretly I wondered if I was up to the challenge.

For example; we are still seeing light from SN 1006 (that is over a thousand […]
Black Holes in space are a terrifying reality. Not only do they consume everything around around them, compressing matter into incredible density, they also even squelch light. Nothing escapes a Black Hole. Sin is like a Black Hole. Once caught in it’s vacuum there is no escape. The Bible says that the wages of sin […]
Supernova. The unleashing of the Holy Spirit of God into the lives of people. God himself bringing catastrophic destruction and raw creative power to work in our lives. We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, […]
