Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 3, 2022

Charles Spurgeon said, “Anyone can sing in the day. It is easy to sing when we can read the notes by daylight; but the skillful singer is he who can sing when there is not a ray of light to read by.... Songs in the night come only from God; they are not in the power of men.”

One Day At A Time

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

Henry Blackaby, in his book Experiencing God, says that all you have to do find ...read more
