I just wanted to let every one know that I am alive. It has been almost a week since I have blogged. I went out of town for the weekend and then got sick late Saturday evening/Sunday morning and was even unable to assemble with my brethren for worship yesterday. Thankfully I have elders who [...]

How do you explain,
how do you describe a love that goes from east to west,
and runs as deep as it is wide.
You know all our hopes,
Lord, you know all our fears.
And words cannot express the love we feel
but we long for you to hear.
So listen to our hearts, hear our spirits sing
a song of praise [...]

When I first became a member of the church, my circle was very big…for it included all who, like myself, had believed and been baptized.

Here I am to say that You’re my God
You’re altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days oh so highly exalted
Glorious in [...]

A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be assured that if any mischief occurred in their town their two young sons were in some way involved.
The parents were at their wits end as to what to do [...]

An obviously popular passage among us, and in my opinion one of the key texts in all of the New Testament is found in Acts 2:42-47. Peter has just preached the gospel to those in Jerusalem, and as a result, the listeners were pricked in their hearts (v.37). This conviction led them to ask what [...]

Jesus had just received the news about John the Baptist’s death. He wanted to be alone so he withdrew to a solitary place. Perhaps on some levels there was sadness. Obviously John meant a lot to Jesus. There is little doubt however, that Jesus likely realized an even more significant meaning behind John’s death that [...]
