Love Constraining To Obedience by William Cowper To see the Law by Christ fulfilled, To hear His pardoning voice, Changes a slave into a child And duty into choice. 1. No strength of nature can suffice To serve the Lord aright And what she has, she misapplies, For want of clearer light. To see the […]
Today is “Good Friday.” “Good Friday” marks the day that the only perfect man to have ever walked the face of the earth (Jesus Christ) unjustly suffered and died on a wretched Roman cross. And the Church – the bride and body of Jesus Christ – refers to this day as “GOOD”?! …the day on […]
Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your […]
Compared to the three previous days of Holy Week, Jesus didn’t make a lot of noise on Wednesday. Jesus made it a practice during Holy Week to visit and teach in the temple. Of course He would spend time at the temple. Where else would He be if not His Father’s house? What’s interesting to […]

Recently I was sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for my wife to have her OB/GYN appointment to discover the gender of our 4th child (girl!). While we were waiting in the lobby, I heard something interesting on the TV. The news report made mention of a celebration called Junteenth, of which I had never […]
Ever since I was a kid, I have been fascinated with the vast expanse of the cosmos. I longed to see a glimpse of galaxies far, far away. I dreamed of boldly going where no man has gone before (or at least seeing through a telescope those places where no man would ever go unless […]
Sunday morning, Mother’s Day & I’m on my way to meet my son & daughter-in-law for church. Whoops! Just talked to them & there was confusion as to what service we were attending. So now, it looks like that I have 1½ hours to do whatever. No problem. I will park somewhere read & pray […]
