We have a most glorious King; The heavens, He says, are His throne; All worlds are His mighty domain, All kingdoms His scepter shall own. He dwells with His people below, He loves in their trials to share; We dwell with the King for His work, His burden we willingly bear. I'm dwelling with Jesus… Continue reading Saturday Song: We have a most glorious King

Does Peace Reign?
What a heart check for a Wednesday morning. What is gripping my heart and thoughts this mid-week day? The pressure of finances? Approval from administration at work? Worries about my students and family? Dread over a busy week? Or is peace and thanksgiving setting my heart free? Instead of strangling my joy with worries and… Continue reading Does Peace Reign?
Peace
The world gives peace only when there is no fear. When there is no fear, a person is at peace. However, this verse implies the opposite. Followers of Christ are at peace, so they need not be afraid. Peace in Christ does not mean the absence of frightening things or trouble, but peace in it.… Continue reading Peace
Abide and Rest
Mondays can be busy days. Or maybe they only seem more busy because it's the first workday after the weekend.

So… Continue reading Abide and Rest

He Hath Said: Spurgeon on Hebrews 13:5
"He hath said." — Hebrews 13:5 If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God's covenant? Will… Continue reading He Hath Said: Spurgeon on Hebrews 13:5

Learning to be content: Spurgeon and Paul
"These words show us that contentment is not a natural propensity of man. "Ill weeds grow apace." Covetousness, discontent, and murmuring are as natural to man as thorns are to the soil.
