Prayer Letter April 2018
Psalms 139:1 = “O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.” The other day I was at a church where the Pastor read most of the 139th Psalm. At the time I felt that I would like to make it a challenge to memorize that whole chapter. That first verse is a real comfort…

On February 14, 2018, Americans were sickened and saddened again to learn of another school shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Read MoreHumanity—God’s Majesty Manifested: Psalm 8
When you look at Psalm 8 carefully you must come away with several conclusions. The majesty of God is great beyond words. The majesty of God is worthy of our fervent worship and obedience. How is that majesty seen? The majesty of God is manifest in the “glory” of His Creation. Most importantly, in the…

Luke 1:31 = “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” The angel, Gabriel, went on to tell Mary about this special child she would give birth to. Wouldn’t it be interesting if every woman that was going to have a child was told…

Philippians 3:10 = That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, being made conformable unto His death.
