Saturday Song: Road Trip Music

Henry F. Lyte, the man who wrote this hymn faithfully led a small church for over 20 years when his failing health forced him to take an early retirement. September 4, 1847 marked his last sermon to his congregation. During his sermon, Lyte is reported to have said his desire was to “induce you to prepare for the solemn hour which must come to all by a timely appreciation and dependence on the death of Christ.” … Read More

Saturday Song: Praise the Father, Praise the Son

Later, as I was doing laundry, Chis Tomlin’s Praise the Father, Praise the Son came on my Pandora station. These both united for a wonderful reinforcement of the wonderful beauty and greatness of the Triune God — The Three in One… Read More
Saturday Song: The Word is Alive
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart… Read More

In prayer all my worldly cares, fears, anxieties disappear, and are of as little significance as a puff of wind…. Read More
What wonderful love that God would step down in time. The eternal God to a temporal world. The Holy One to a dirty and vile people. Love to the loveless. So that we could be called children and friends of God… Read More
