The Ever Expanding Kingdom Of God

  A mother camel and her baby are talking one day and the baby camel asks, “ Mom why have we got these huge three-toed feet?”  The mother replies, “To enable us trek across the soft sand of the desert without sinking.” “And why have we got these long, heavy eyelashes?” “To keep the sand out of our eyes on the trips through the desert” replies the mother camel. “And Mom, why have we got these big humps on our backs?” The mother, now a little impatient with the boy replies, “They are there to help us store fat for our long treks across the desert, so we can go without water for long periods.” OK, I get it!” says the baby camel, “We have huge feet to stop us sinking, long eyelashes to keep the sand from our eyes and humps to store water. Then, Mom, why the heck are we here in the Toronto zoo?” In Acts 13:1-12 we read about the beginning of the Paul’s first missionary journey.   Barnabas and Saul descended the mountains from Antioch to Sel...

In the construction of a door, one man makes the panels, another makes the frame, another fits it together and a fourth hangs it by its hinges. The panel maker has a very imperfect portion of the work to show as the result of his toil, but he has done his part and fulfilled his mission whether the door ever swings in its place or not.

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord , the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them (Joshua 1:1-3).
