A Valentines like no other
“While the world celebrated love, I was trapped, terrified, and losing my baby at the hands of someone I thought I could trust” What devastating words to read. What an awful thing for anyone to face. We are rightly horrified at the Epstein files, but this hits even closer to home. The Letterkenny Circuit Court…

The glorious gospel (2 Sam 15-17; Psalms 3, 63; Romans 1)
Our world lacks hope. The book of Romans is full of wonderful hope. It is the book that God used to bring Martin Luther out of terrible fear to glorious freedom. Luther had been trapped in works-based religion. He was tormented by his past and the fact that he was not good enough for God.…

The leader we long for
Local author and former election candidate Gerry McKeever’s new book “saving democracy” strikes a chord with what many are feeling, not just nationally but also internationally. Bad government lasts too long, and good government does not last long enough. In today’s world we are increasingly affected by the decisions of other countries. We are still…

She is not an object (2 Samuel 13-14; Acts 28)
A moment’s gratification produces a lifetime of misery and pain. That is the tragic result of David’s adultery. In the following chapters in 2 Samuel we see the mess he caused. Like his father, Amnon allows his lust to control his heart. He sees a beautiful woman and he wants her. Our world may describe…

The awful consequences of adultery (2 Sam 11-12; 1 Chr 20; Ps 51, 32; Acts 27)
All sin is grievous for it is against a loving and holy God, but there is something so devastating about adultery for it brings so much hurt and pain. God created marriage to be a picture of His intimate, faithful covenant love to His people. I’m sure we’ve all seen the awful hurt caused by…

A royal welcome to the disabled (2 Sam 9-10; 1 Chr 18-19; Ps 89; Acts 26)
Can you imagine a church refusing to allow someone to join in Sunday school because they were autistic? Or a church where some were reluctant to move a pew to make space for a wheelchair? It’s hard to believe, but sadly those with extra needs sometimes find they have to fight to make places more…

What a promise! (2 Sam 7-8; 1 Chr 17; Ps 132; Acts 25)
What a promise! David was blown away. He’d had a good intention to build some sort of temple for the ark of God. The prophet Nathan also thought it was a good idea, until God told him otherwise! Why did God say “no” to David’s intention to build a temple? First of all, to teach…

The joy of going God’s way (1 Chron 14-16; Acts 24)
Yesterday we saw the tragedy of going the way of the world rather than God’s way. It cost Uzzah his life, and David was angry and afraid. How could they bring the ark to Jerusalem? The answer is according to God’s Word! God had already told them what to do in Numbers 4. When David…
