I’m still going in order with the Psalms, and the next one that I’ve not posted before is Psalm 20. It is a wonderful prayer that I lift up today for all my family and friends, including all you of my friends who read this...

What Are We Without God?

I’m still working my way through Ezekiel. It’s a tough book to get through, even though I know that after all the dire prophecies against Israel and the surrounding nations, Ezekiel eventually tells of the future restoration of Israel. But there certainly are a lot...

Psalm 15 – Who May Dwell with the Lord?
