THE IMMEASURABLE MAGNITUDE OF MERCY

"Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful."  Luke 6:36 Mercy, the greatest gift one can show another and none could ever come close to the kind of mercy Jesus shows and has shown. Likewise, no mercy will ever compare to the mercy shown us when He took our place on the cross …

REACHING THE RIVER

"As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat (food) day and night, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I …

REASONABLE SERVICE: JUST YOUR PERSONAL BEST

".And let us run WITH patience the race that is set before us." Hebrews 12:1(d) There is nothing like the feeling we have when we first come to Christ, and we have been forgiven of our sins and washed, and everything is made new. I want to say one thing... keep that feeling! The enemy …

Relinquishing Regret

"Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy mercy remember me for thy goodness' sake O Lord. Good and upright IS the Lord: therefore he will teach sinners in the way.

Now I Lay Me Down

Very familiar children's prayer there, "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, and If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen" Classic, many versions of it but still the same meaning. Even as children we are often painfully aware …

Sticks and Stones #3 “Blood Transfusion”

Family night at Ye Olde Drama Ville Theater is never a one-act play and no one wants tickets to that dreadful show anyway. The script is just too predictable, the outcome a certainty, someone is always gonna go away hurt while another revels in their glory of being alpha male, while everyone stands by as …

REST IN THE RECKONING

I can't seem to get the image of James Foley out of my head, and it's not just him... it is all of them. Abducted, unmercifully tortured, and paraded off to be savagely executed by demonic, twisted sadistic butchers to gain media attention for their truly hopeless cause. Hiding their faces behind their masks of …

AND YOU ARE?

Don't you just love it when you voice an opinion in mixed company only to have the person with the opposing view look at you and say in that smug tone laced with sarcasm and disgust at the mere thought that you could possibly question their obviously superior intelligence, and they say "And you are??? …
