Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, near Halifax NS, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Atlantic Canada. The many lighthouses in that part of the world, in times past, warned mariners of dangerous rocky areas along the coast. But surprisingly, there is a lighthouse in the middle of the Arizona Desert, where there is no water for 30 miles around. This lighthouse does not give a warning, but an invitation, because nearby is a well of cool thirst quenching water. Even more amazing, Jesus, the Son of God said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” He also gave a beautiful invitation, “if anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.” If you have been drinking without satisfaction at the world’s empty fountains, I urge you to heed Jesus invitation and by faith come to Him and drink at His fountain.

A television commercial currently being aired, suggests that while we can’t stop getting older, we don’t have to look older. It then pushes its product. Cosmetic procedures used to be performed mostly on women in the past, but are now increasingly being requested by men. There is a legend involving Spanish explorer Juan Ponce De Leon’s search for the fountain of youth when he travelled to what is now Florida in 1513. And folks frequently look in the wrong places for that elusive youthfulness so they can live long lives. The truth is that everlasting life is available to all. The Bible, says, “And this is life eternal, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” Eternal life is found only in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Want to live forever? Jesus promises, “ I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Thieves in Marlborough New Zealand broke into a car, parked outside a local repair shop. They crossed the ignition wires attempting to steal the vehicle. But it would not go. Unknown to them the engine had been removed for repairs. This is a reminder for us all. Be sure there’s an engine aboard if you hope to get anywhere. Make sure the locomotive is hooked to the train. And more importantly we need to make sure we have the proper connection to Jesus, if we hope to make it to heaven. Our Saviour explained, “I am the way, that truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Or to put it another way, if our lives are merely connected to religion, church, baptism or good works, we’ll not ever see heaven. That’s because God’s Word tells us, “It is not by works of righteousness that we have one, but according to His mercy He saves us.” Are you connected to Jesus?

A Prince Edward Island man left a store, and returned to his car, to find the windows rolled down, and his sun roof open. He had left them closed and the doors locked. Without the keys, he could not see how this could happen. Later, he learned of a special feature of that automobile designed for hot days, making it possible for all windows to be opened remotely, when a certain button on the ignition key is held down. He must have unknowingly pressed against the keys while they were in his pocket. He had neglected to read about this feature in the car’s manual. More seriously, when not being aware of information about one’s relationship to God, many miss out on important Bible truths that affect our eternal destiny. One New Testament writer warned, “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation.” God loves each of us. Please read your Bible and learn about it.

The statement “You only get what you pay for.” Is often made by those who have tried to save money by buying the cheapest item they could find, only to learn that it was of poor quality. While often true in the world of commerce, when it comes to acquiring things in the spiritual, realm, it does not hold true. That’s because none of us can buy forgiveness or a home in heaven. Thankfully the Lord Jesus Christ offers forgiveness and peace of mind as a gift. One New Testament writer explained it as follows- “Not by works of righteousness that we have done, but according to His mercy He saves us.” God’s grace is not for sale. It is free. I know that’s a hard concept to wrap our minds around, but it is true. And no matter who we are, or how bad we have been, Jesus invites us, “Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

A photo taken in New Westminster B.C. in 1940 was entitled “Wait for me, Daddy”. It showed Private Jack Bernard saying goodbye to his son Warren Bernard, 5, as he was leaving to serve in the Second World War. Separation is one of the worst results of war- with its heartache and pain for families. And much is said in the Bible about separation too, between the Creator and people. The Heavenly Father created us to be in fellowship with Him, not separated from Him. Isaiah of old explained why so many of us are not in a proper relationship with our Maker. He wrote, “…your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you…” As unpopular as this teaching is, the truth is that we live in a world that is full of examples of its reality and its presence. So it is heart-warming to read James’ promise, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”

“The Book of Life, a 2014 computer animated film, presents a story line that sweeps us into a fantastic presentation of three worlds, the land of the remembered, the land of the forgotten and the land of the living. The film probably gets its title from the Bible, which makes several references to “the book of life”. For example, one passage in the Book of Revelation, speaking of the city of God, Heaven, says, “Nothing impure will enter it nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the “Lamb’s Book of life.” We are told that “all have sinned”, and Jesus gave His life in our place. So when we ask Him for forgiveness and believe in Him, we become “children of God” and our names are then written in the “Book of Life.” I hope you’ll think about that today

A group of experts have advised that people working in office environments stand for at least 2 hours a day during working hours, to protect those engaged with typically sedentary forms of work. Governments are encouraging active living. Today, we often see walkers and joggers. However, it is the responsibility of the individual to look after his or her physical well-being. This is also true in regards to our spiritual health. Timothy, in the New Testament wrote, “bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and that which is to come.” As with our physical well-being, our spiritual health is an individual choice. God has done His part, giving His Son. Now the choice is ours. As Paul, the Apostle wrote, “Whosoever will may come”.

The Salvation Army has described itself as a Christian movement that would reach out to the unloved and disadvantaged in society. An example of the selfless people who make up its numbers took place on May 29th, 1914 when the Empress of Ireland sank in the St. Lawrence River near Rimouski Quebec. Over one thousand passengers and crew were lost. Among those who perished were one hundred and twenty-nine Salvation Army Officers. Survivors told how these servants of God, when informed there were not enough life preservers to go around, removed theirs and gave them to others whom they felt were not prepared to meet the Lord. These good people exemplified their Saviour of whom we read, “…God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Fake news websites (also referred to online as hoax news) deliberately publish hoaxes, propaganda and disinformation. There is nothing new about false news. Throughout history, people have made up falsehoods for various reasons, often very harmful and dangerous. But this is most serious when it concerns eternal things. An example of fake news concerning this vital subject is the propagation of the falsehood that there is no such thing as original sin. Proponents of this erroneous idea tell us that we all have a spark of divinity that merely needs to be fanned. Look around you. There is massive worldwide evidence that we are a fallen race. And denying this truth is denying the clear Bible teaching that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and “there is none righteous, no not one.” Please do not accept this fake news.
