I Am Good Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Sep 12, 2018

The reason we shout for joy, the reason we worship Him with gladness, the reason we enter His Presence with thanksgiving, the reason we give thanks to Him and praise His name is that "the Lord is good and His steadfast love endures forever. His faithfulness continues through all generations.”

One of my favorite novels is Daniel Defoe’s “Robinson Crusoe.” You know, it’s sad how we’ve taken great novels like “Robinson Crusoe,” “Gulliver’s Travels,” “Moby Dick,” or “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and relegated them to children’s stories. We’ve done the same with Samson and Goliath in the ...read more

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Feb 18, 2008

Do You Know The Way? Series
