Holy
I just can’t get away from the thought that there is a REALLY important reason why angels circle God’s throne day and night and continually repeat “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty” without ceasing, throughout eternity. Think of all the words that describe...
Your True Value
An acquaintance of mine sold 4 very old silver dollars for $20 a piece at an auction I went to. When I asked him about the coins he said, “Those were my wife’s coins. Do you know where she got them from?” He went on to tell me that his wife works in a restaurant in...

The Old and the New
I led worship at a small church one Sunday and had a good time mingling some newer worship choruses with some old familiar hymns. You might not think you could mix “Trading My Sorrows” with “Victory in Jesus” but it definitely can be done. When the service was over an...
