The preacher referred to in the title above is yours truly. The picture is what appeared on my laptop screen after I logged in Thursday morning. Perhaps your PC had the same picture. Different than the people who just looked at the picture admiring its beauty and perhaps even going so far as to analyzing it further, the preacher looked at the picture from the peculiar prism that he uses to apply...

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you.” (James 4:8a NLT Version) While filling up my water bottle one day last week, I started to speculate if where I positioned the bottle had any impact on the speed that the bottle would be filled.

“For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You do not take pleasure in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, God, You will not despise.” (Psalm 51:16-17 New American Standard Bible) As our Wednesday night Victory Class was studying, looking at the verses above from David penitential Psalm, I posed the question about...
