Chinese Military Parade on 3092015

On 3 September 1945 Japanese military forces surrendered to the Chinese military forces, and that seven-year war ended. It was also the day that World War II ended..

  • All the pieces needed to fit

    A jigsaw puzzle is never complete without all the pieces. I remember as a child, laying all the jigsaw puzzle pieces on a table and then I would try and figure out which piece goes where.

  • Hunger and thirst or rest?

    I was recently praying for the Bible school that I am staffing, asking God where we are at mentally and spiritually as a school. More than that I was curious about what He wanted to teach us and where He wanted to take us.

  • How do I feel about the flag thing

    As a kiwi living overseas it all seemed to come from out of the blue. Or perhaps not so much out of the blue as a rare deviation from the usual pattern of talking and talking about it without anything ever coming to fruition.

  • Musings on Art

    The Book of Psalms has been an encouragement to me personally for years, resonating with me in a major way. The psalms demonstrate how real people wrestle with issues of faith.

  • Choose Joy

    If there\'s one thing our present age pushes, one agenda everyone seems to get behind it\'s this, \"Do what makes you happy.\"

  • Growing up small

    The writing might as well be on the wall. Social Christianity is sputtering, heaving for its last breaths. Power is dwindling. The vast acceptance of the Christian morals is shrinking. And more often than not, the bold Christian is placed on \"the wrong side of history\".
