To contemplate all Heaven’s power<P>
Which sent to earth our Heavenly King<P>

YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’VE GOT TILL IT’S GONE
Our power is shut off, and suddenly we become thankful for electricity. Our garbage is not picked up, and suddenly we become thankful for the garbage collector’s weekly stop. A good friend dies, and suddenly we discover how much he meant to us. Our

E. M. Bounds writes in "The Possibilities of Prayer" : "THE ministry of prayer has been the peculiar distinction of all of God’s saints. This has been the secret of their power. The energy and the soul of their work has been the closet. The need of help outside of man being so great, man’s natural

Listen to Adrian Rogers: “It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, then falsehood that comforts and then kills. It is not love and it is not friendship if we fail to declare the whole counsel of God. It is better to

I took a piece of modeling clay;
And idly molded it one day;
And as my fingers pressed it still,
It moved and yielded to my will.

And I could change it nevermore.
I took apiece of living

What a tragedy if Clark Kent never knew that he was Superman? Can we imagine Clark Kent on his deathbed, looking down and muttering, "What’s that big 'S' on my T-shirt? Superman? What’s that?" How sad! All his life he could have been catching speeding bullets and leaping tall
