All that may please Thee best.
Thy Zion strews before Thee
Green boughs and fairest palms,
And I, too, will

THE LAW AND THE GOSPEL
John Wesley: "There is no [conflict] at all between the law and the gospel; that there is no need for the law to pass away, in order to the establishing of the gospel. Indeed neither of them supersedes the other, but they agree perfectly well together. Yea, the very same

The day before I preached this sermon, I found out that my son’s class was studying the Buddhist faith. The teacher was going to have students bring a mat to class and get in the position and meditate like a Buddhist. When I raised concern and objected to my son praying to any god besides the one

A young man once fell in love with a girl and saw the starlight in her eyes when he proposed. He bought a ring to give her but he was poor, and it wasn’t a very big diamond. He said to her apologetically, "It is not a very big stone." But she replied, "It is as big as we make it."
