"Unless The Lord Builds The House"

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 20, 2017

The opening line of Psalm 127 emphasizes a theme that runs through both Psalm 127 and 128 – without God’s direct and crucial involvement in its building and protection, no house, city, or family will survive.

And He Said He Would.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jan 25, 2021

This psalm is titled A Song of Ascents. It is another of the 15 songs sung by travelers on their way to Jerusalem, usually for one of the three yearly feasts—Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. Like Psalm 127, it has a focus on God’s work in and through the family.

And He Said He Would. Psalm 128:1-6NKJV The most-sacred symbol in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is a tree: a sprawling, shade-bearing—an old American Elm. Tourists drive from miles around to see her.

Grandparents And Grandchildren

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

No picture of the good life is adequate without grandparents and grandchildren. God drew this picture, and we know from experience that God is right.

Almost everybody you know in the Bible became a grandparent. But since the term is not used in the Bible we tend to ignore this fact and seldom think of people as grandparents, and of children as grandchildren. When I read the blessing at the end of Psa. 128 that says may you live to see your ...read more

Battered, Wounded, But Complete Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 29, 2021

Scripture doesn’t record all Christ's wonderful takings on of our burdens, but I bet He even helped put out neighborhood fires and built some barns.

Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Course The readings today revolve so much around the Divine gift of marriage that we cannot ignore that teaching of Jesus. Marriage is a divine gift to bring together in an enduring bond what the devil and sin tried to separate not long after the creation of humans. The ...read more

Treasure God's Word

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 29, 2025

God’s word has power to change and transform our lives and all of our situations. The question is, “Do we treasure God’s Word?” May we ask God to open our eyes so we can see the wondrous truths hidden in it and will choose to walk in total obedience to God and His Word.

Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 1:6-7, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.

Feast of the Holy Family 2025 One of my favorite theologians has pointed out that St. Joseph had the hardest ministry of all. He was just an ordinary Jew who happened to be a descendant of King David, but that put him as the guardian and leader of two persons who were both in intimate contact with ...read more
