Justice; December 22, 2024
Isaiah 42:4 “He will not falter or be discouragedtill he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching the islands will put their hope.” I was a little surprised that the Japanese translation I currently use said “judgment,” rather than “justice,” in this verse, and … Continue reading

Faithfulness; December 15, 2024

Peace; December 13, 2024
Micah 5:5 And he will be our peace. For once I really don’t care for the Japanese translation, but I really like the English! The Japanese says, “Peace will come in the following way.” What is inspiring about that? However, … Continue reading

Walking in the Light; December 8, 2024
Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” This is a dearly loved verse, and as a matter of fact we have it on a banner hanging in our sanctuary. However, it’s still worthy of meditation. … Continue reading
