    That's A Song To Sing

    Contributed by Joe W. Theus on Dec 30, 2015
     | 4,104 views

    Seeking comfort at times may come through singing songs you like. It is a part of the African American history to sing when frustrated, depressed, or even seeking decisions for life's quest

    This idea was prompted by a song of the world, as we would call it, "Only the strong Survive" by the late Jerry Butler. He talks about a love affair that went wrong and concludes that only the strong survive bad relationships. Of course, I agree and so, that's a song to sing. This Psalm by David ...read more

    Fear in the United States is the biggest reason that one out of every four Americans are on some kind of tranquilizer because they want to deal with the symptoms of the fears instead of facing the things that are causing the fear.

    PRAYER Father, open my eyes to see Your Word. Open my ears to hear. Open my mind to understand. And open my heart so I may receive Your Word today.

    The Galatians, like the American church, were misled by the belief they could live as Christians through natural means; that being a Christian was something THEY could do in their own power! Paul protested that it was impossible!
