The Treasure of God Knowledge
There lays within the grasp of each one of us a power that is beyond my ability to explain. Peter said it this way, “Grace and peace be Multiplied to you through the knowledge of God our Savior Jesus Christ!” It is through, because of, by way of, this Holy Knowledge that the unspeakable blessings of Grace and Peace are endowed into our lives. We have heard it said, that Knowledge is Power. Through Academic Knowledge...
White Noise
A few years ago while I was working in the offices of General Motors, I was shocked at an inter-office memo I had received. The note was to explain about a new “noise filtering system†that was to be installed in the 1,000-plus employee complex within the coming weeks.

The sounds of children singing a praise song in Chinese brought smiles to everyone, especially to the man holding God’s Word and a common cleaning gadget. The beaming man was Reverend Kevin Vacca, a visiting missionary from Taiwan. As his son and two daughters returned to the front pew to sit...
