A passenger ship tragically capsized at sea. Many drowned, but one teenager was found clinging to a rock. 
After he was rescued, someone asked him if he was terrified. 
He responded by saying, “Yes, I was shaking all the time…but the rock I was holding onto wasn’t shaking!” 
Psalm

RUSH TO THE LORD FOR REFUGE.
This is David's message to us in Psalm 37:1-3, where the KJV says:
1. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

                    OUR "IN JESUS" VOICE
I'm always intrigued by the phrase some parents and care-givers use with children: "Now children, we need to use our 'indoor' voices."
What Ephesians 4 is saying is that when in the church (not the building) we need to use our "in Jesus" voices.
Those voices need to lift up,
