Dear brothers and sisters,These past two years have been a period of high and lows for me. On the one hand, God has deepened my faith by redirecting my attention to the cross and looking at Christ, how He suffered, bled and died. It has in many ways lifted up my heart and also redirected many of my ideas, thinking and likes and dislikes. On the other hand I have noticed that this does not mean struggles with sin are obsolete. In a strange way it almost seems that where faith in Christ is growing, sin and the devil are more than keen to step ...

(60) I made haste and did not delay To keep Your commandments. (Psalm 119:57-60 with ...

Dear brothers and sisters,One of my favorite things to do is to dissect songs and study the Scripture to get at the theology they are proclaiming. I do this in my spare time as a devotion, simple worship of my God and Savior Jesus Christ.I thought I would just share with you what I wrote out late the other night as I was filled with worship because I’d been meditating on the cross. Here it is, along with the song I was worshiping to, and a question at the ...
