Just What Law Is So Precious And Sweet?
Contributed on Jul 23, 2024
Christ's last commandment is the one that the psalm is talking about, perfect, tasting sweet, priceless. That command is simply this. “Love one another as I have loved you.”
Friday of the Sixteenth Week in Course What is this Law that is perfect, that refreshes the soul and gives wisdom to the simple-minded?

Politicians Will Not Save Us
Contributed on Jul 15, 2024
Every few years something happens to remind us we should never put our trust in princes, or politicians, but only in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Friday of the fifteenth week in course 2024 (7/19) It’s not possible for me to read the Scriptures today and ignore what happened just a week ago in Pennsylvania.
