Matthew 11:25-26 (NIV): At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.”

There are a few references to children in the gospels, always showing them to be the standard that we are judged by. Why is this? What is so special about children that we should take note of their attributes and apply them to our lives? To gain a measure of understanding, let’s take a quick look at what it means to be a child.

No Comments on The Riches in Christ – 05 The Holy Spirity Translates

I say the stupidest things. I realize that every time I think I?m saying the right thing and suddenly note the recipient?s reaction. Sometimes I don?t finish what I?m saying automatically assuming the person gets where I?m heading. Other times I don?t bother saying things because I feel it?s so obvious that it shouldn?t need verbal stating (how dumb).

For as far back as I can remember it has rained on Memorial Day. I’m not making an uninformed statement that makes inference to God weeping, no such thing. It’s an observation based on the fact that for years my local gathering would try to meet up together in a certain park in New Jersey , only to be met with wet grass, gray skies and a cold breeze. The burgers never cook quite right, the drinks get dirt in them, the preacher is completely impossible to understand with the bad sound system being used?all in all the day is usually a wash.

The first time I heard this song, was when my not-yet-wife was performing a special in a gathering down in Pennsylvania. She sang and it sounded like heaven opened up and the angels were giving her backup.

I almost cried

Upon hearing the lyrics I could almost imagine myself nestled up to the foot of the cross, seeing my Lord hanging there on that tree. Realizing that I had no part to play in the work he was doing, in the pinning up of my sins, bearing the stripes of my iniquities.

Amazing

Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior?so precious Thou art!
Fold me, oh, fold me close to Thy breast.
Shelter me safe in that ?Haven of Rest?;
Shelter me safe in that ?Haven of Rest.?

No Comments on Evolution of the Altar 4: Choice

Continuing our discussion on the evolution of the Altar, let us remind ourselves what sparked this train of thought. If you remember, IreneQ quoted someone as underscoring the purpose of the church and the role that worship plays with the following quote:
