From Lament To Praise.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 20, 2023

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

Blessed… Praise Be!

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 14, 2026

The Beatitudes expose neutral faith, declaring where life with God truly exists and refusing to let blessing remain comfortable.

“Blessed…” That word is so familiar to us that it barely registers anymore. We hear it and we nod. We hear it and we assume we know what comes next. Blessed — we think — means approved. Comfortable. Favored. Safe. Almost instinctively, the response follows. Praise be. We say it quickly. We say ...read more

Blessed is He who comes ...read more
