I’m reading a biography of the short missionary life of William Borden, turn of the last century. It’s called Borden of Yale ’09 by Mrs. Howard Taylor. It’s considered to be a good bio of the young millionaire who gave it all up to be a missionary, but tragically died before he reached his intended field. It’s a good book that paints a sweet picture of a godly man raised in a godly family. This biography led me to knowledge of G. Campbell Morgan, who apparently is one of the 20th century's great expositors.

In the Bible times, the roof was an important ‘room’. It was constantly used for a variety of things. Why? Homes were small, dark, smelly, and the lower room held the animals. Why wouldn’t people want to be on the roof where it was bright, with fresh air wafting by, and roomy? In this episode I look at daily living in Bible times, focusing on the peoples' homes and especially the rooftops.

The battle is ongoing with the Edmonton, Alberta Canadian officials against Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church. You might remember he was released from jail without the condition of having to recant on his stance that he will continue to preach inside his church without numerical restrictions on who may or may not attend. Albertan officials had jailed him in violation of their COVID-19 health regulations. The battle is not over apparently. Today Erin Coates reported a distressing development.

What if you were going to plant a church or start a ministry or were called to go somewhere, but it was the LEAST populated place in the entire area?

Let's listen to how God works His will into the most amazing places and the most wonderful ways.

Today I review the experience of worship on Easter Sunday, picturing Jesus as worthily accepting ALL proper and true worship from all His children on all the earth particularly on Resurrection Sunday. I pictured a flood of love and worship rolling up to Him in heaven, as a pleasing aroma and His proper due as He was honored as the Lamb of God.

In which I read a wonderful poem from Texas Poet Kay Cude, which she shares with The End Time with permission to publish. I pray your joy is complete and abounding this day, where we contemplate and celebrate the mystery of the Resurrection, and our eternal joy because the Lamb of God has risen!
