As the signs of the times begin to gather around the Church and manifest the coming of the Lord, we need to wisely interpret what we are seeing. We should never be so captured by the signs themselves that we are led astray into a narrow understanding of what we see...
When Jan and I were based in Kingston, Jamaica, we learned a lot about the history of the island. One day, I was speaking with an old-timer who told me about the day when the first traffic signal was installed on the island. If you were to visit Jamaica today, you...
