    Our pain in the wilderness is not wasted; God can use it for His glory and to bless others.

    Let's talk about something we all know a bit about - pain. Not just the "I stubbed my toe" kind of pain, but the deep, heart-wrenching stuff.

    Billy Sunday observed "If there’s no joy in your religion, you’ve got a leak in your faith." In a world that is often discouraging and frustrating, how can a Christian keep the Joy of the Lord as their strength?

    Praise Is Comely

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 21, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,806 views

    The King James Version word "comely" helps us see that praise and worship fit the reality of today’s world, but are attractive to those who need perspective by which to live.

    Our members will know that I seldom use the King James Version of the Scriptures, except on certain occasions when the majesty and beauty of its language are desirable. We are a church which is generally committed to contemporary readings of the Bible because they are more accurate and are easier ...read more
