It all started when we were sitting with a couple of friends, enjoying a balmy evening and appreciating the incredible scenery of South Africa’s “Wild Coast”. One of our friends had an accordion with her, and began to play that old chorus, “turn your eyes upon Jesus”. I have sung that song probably hundreds of time over the years. So it may be a comment on my age that I have appreciated it a lot more than many of the more recent numbers that come under that strange musical genre that has become known as “praise and worship”.

To one man, Jesus said, “You cannot see or enter the kingdom of God without being born again.”

To another he said the way to inherit eternal life is to keep the commandments, and in order to do that, you need to sell all that you have and give to the poor.
