    A Day In His Presence

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 57 views

    Better a single day near God than a thousand apart; the humble heart at His door already walks in eternal joy.

    There are passages in Scripture that seem to sing even when you read them silently. Psalm 84 is one of those sacred songs. It isn’t just poetry — it’s testimony. It’s the song of a traveler whose feet are dusty, whose heart is homesick for God, whose eyes are fixed on the courts of the Lord. > ...read more

    What will it take to reverse some of the damage we have done to ourselves and the church’s image? I believe it will take Christians really living like Christians.

We are just a bunch of crazy fanatics who try to impose innumerable rules upon everyone else. We’re just a bunch of do-gooders who always find ways to condemn ...read more
