In Praise of Your Table
Father, I praise you for the table you have prepared.
Not for food for the body,
As much as food for the soul.
Drink that satisfies my inner thirst.
Bread that nourishes the hungers of my life.
Fruit of the Spirit that grows me upward.
Father, You have adorned your

I love to step inside a church,
To rest, and think, and pray;
The quiet, calm, and holy place
Can drive all cares away.
I feel that from these simple walls
There breathes a moving sound
Of sacred music, murmured prayers,
Caught in the endless round.
Of all that makes our human life;
Birth,

LIFE BEGINS AT THE CROSS
We don’t begin to live until we believe on Jesus and receive this everlasting life. A popular book a generation ago was entitled, Life Begins at Forty, where the author sought to prove that a person just enters the prime of life at forty years of age. The new saying is

For example, did you know that according to a recent Barna survey of those who become Christians, 43% do so before the age of 13? Almost half do so before they become teenagers. This has huge implications on who we should focus upon and evangelize. Not only that but out of those who became
