Praise God for Christmas.
Praise Him for the incarnation,
for the word made flesh.
I will not sing of shepherds

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;

Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled

Hell is described as a place of darkness or blackness. The only way I can imagine the total isolation broght on by such complete darkness is the blackness felt deep inside a cavern. I have toured a number of caverns in the United States. Almost every tour I have been on will at some point bring the

What is an altar? A place where you “arrange hard things before the Lord.” Build one today. Turn over those hard things to God. As you do, you’ll realize that God is interested in your personal comfort as you surrender to him. How do you know that? What from the text gives that kind of impression?
