Sing, Sing, Sing!

Posted on April 23, 2010 by Pete

I can’t imagine a church where there’s no singing. It is such a natural response . . . or is it a supernatural response? . . . to the glory and grace of God. I find it sad to see … Continue reading →

Posted on March 23, 2010 by Pete

It’s kind of neat when my different readings in the morning come together . . . when they emphasize one another . . . when they are used of the Spirit to provide some clarity . . . when, by … Continue reading →

Be Glad!

Posted on March 16, 2010 by Pete

I came across the word “rejoice” four times this morning in my readings. Three times in Deuteronomy 12 . . . once in Psalm 66. And so, this morning, I’m thinking about God’s desire for us to rejoice. Be glad. … Continue reading →
