    God is, and ever has been, my protector. Why would He let us down now?

    FROM LAMENT TO PRAISE. Psalm 43:1-5. Bold prayer dares to address God in the imperative. It seems that the Psalmist, speaking on behalf of many a pilgrim since, has lost his sense of the immanence of God. Yet we cannot rely upon senses, so he falls back on what he knows about God. ...read more

    To be physically fit requires proper nutrition. The same is true spiritually. The proper nutrition for us as believers is the Word of God.

    “Get fit.” That’s the lead story in this month’s Cleveland magazine. Are you in shape spiritually? “If God had intended for us to touch our toes, He’d have put them on our knees.” “I’m in shape – “Round” is a shape, isn’t it?” But getting fit is really not a joking matter. I like the idea in ...read more

    Fervent Christian service.

    LOVE OVERCOMING EVIL. Romans 12:9-21. I). GENUINE LOVE. Romans 12:9-13.

The second clause ...read more
