    Introductory Comments 1.

    Introductory Comments 1. The richness of God’s word is how it speaks to us differently at different times. We can read same passage many times and yet be enlightened by it as if never read before. This happened to me as I read today’s passage, especially one verse.. Psa 4:7 You have filled my ...read more

    We sing and quote that "The joy of the LORD is your strength," but learning to live it in challenging service to our King is a daily "workout" for our faith (that brings "unexpected joy").

    How many of us have ever said, “As soon as I get this accomplished, I’ll focus on helping out at the church?” How many of us have ever said, “As soon as I have my degree in hand, I’ll start seriously serving the Lord” or “As soon as our church finds a building (or a pastor), I’ll really get ...read more
