They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal, and the prayers.  Everyone around was in awe—all those wonders and signs done through the apostles!  And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common.  They sold whatever they...

“Come, let us worship...” (Psalm 95:6 NLT) Before big gym chains came into existence, there were a couple of gyms we could visit to go through a workout routine.  Health improvement was not our objective, we just wanted to be hunks.  Ha!  Anyway, these gyms were not well lighted and today’s workout regulars, the folks who won’t miss a day of going through their rigorous workouts, they...

“Sing to the Lord a new song;sing to the Lord, all the earth.  Sing to the Lord, praise his name;proclaim his salvation day after day.”(Psalm 96:1-2 NIV) During the course of the workweek, the mail is usually delivered Monday thru Thursdays between 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.  Did you notice I left out one particular delivery day?  I left out Friday.  For some reason, for which I...

BE CAREFUL LITTLE EYES

“Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. It is the quickening of the conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of will to his purpose--all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable.” (Quote by Archbishop William...
