A friend wrote recently, and quoted those words from Amazing Grace. (John Newton) In comparison, I would like to believe that I never measured anything close to him by a fouled up life. However, in our tendency to grade sin as bad, worse, or even so categorically as beyond the imagination, we would like toContinue reading “THRU MANY DANGERS, TOILS, & SNARES”

RE-BIBLE
The story is told of the villager, who returning to his own village did so with excitement. He told of his visit to the other village and proceeded to talk about what was taking place spiritually. Excitedly he said: “They are having a Re-Bible! In effect, he was right. When the fires of revival began,Continue reading “RE-BIBLE”
PSALM 24
On occasion I will quote a portion of Scripture that has been a blessing of recent.

For He has founded it upon the seas and established itContinue reading “PSALM 24”
UNTIL

It seems like eternity ago, but I tried repeating it the other day from memory and got “hung up” right toward the end on a couple of words. I was ashamed of myself. ReadingContinue reading “A JOYFUL NOISE”
HONEY IN THE ROCK
I was reading Psalm 81, when suddenly, I realized I had stopped reading and was singing. Fortunately, no one was listening to me but the Lord, and He knew I was doing my best, which was not so good. But here I was a crooning that old song: “Oh! There’s Honey in the Rock myContinue reading “HONEY IN THE ROCK”
