The Voice Of The Lord We serve a living God, who though he is a Spirit (John 4:24), exercises human characteristics. Everyone who has ever had a broken heart and cried unto God is glad that he listens and hears our faintest cry. All of us are thankful that He sees…
Day After Day I always find these verses very challenging. Can I honestly say that everyday I'm totally desperate for God? Do I actively seek him with all my heart? Sadly the truth is often, no. We so easily get complacent with our relationship with God. We can…

Offering A lot of our inspiration for songs comes from Scripture. The Book of Psalms is a great source for musicians and writers, and it always seems like there are at least one or two Psalm-songs on our records. "Offering" was one of those. It was written…

How to come into the Presence of the King This Psalm begins with Moses and ends with David. It begins with Egypt and ends with Jerusalem. It begins with the Exodus and ends with the Temple. Verses 1-4 take us out of bondage to the Promised Land. Verses 5-9 take us to the Holy City where God…
Gifted Response (We Will Worship You) Two themes run through this song. Firstly, that worship is a 'gifted response'. We cannot do it in our own strength, or offer it by our own merits. Anything we ever bring to God belongs to Him in the first place. If we sing a song to Him, he gave us…

Ascribe to the Lord I didn't much care for Sunday school when I was a young child as the 1960s came to a close. I'd rather been outside playing ball. Back in those days they didn't have VeggieTales, high-tech kids services or lifelike puppets teaching principles of…
Born With Purpose Never in history has there existed so many products and services marketed in getting people to buy what they need or at least what they "think" they need. Granted, the majority of the products we find are useful in helping us be more efficient with…
The River Here's the scene. The priest, Ezekiel, has a vision of a river that flows from the temple. The measuring man, as the bible calls him, takes Ezekiel to see this river and to lead him through it. As Ezekiel begins to walk through the water, the river…
Lord, Let Your Glory Fall The song "Lord, let your glory fall" is taken from the book of 2 Chronicles, chapters 5 to 7. I think this must be one of the most powerful and inspiring examples of congregational worship in the Bible. The work for the temple had all been done, and…
Glory Revealed Through Quieting Love If you're looking to find history and art that moves the soul toward the glory of God, Rome is the perfect place to start. From the works of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel to the history of thousands of Christians martyred at the Colosseum, you…

I Surrender "I surrender, I lie down, I give up." In the world, these words are rarely spoken. We are always taught to fight, to keep trying, to win. In the military, these words declare defeat. In sports, they result in a loss. In illness, they can mean death.…
