Light of the World
Matthew 5:14-16: “You are the light of the world … let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven.” I went outside the other night and was taken aback by how bright the moon was. It lit up the entire sky. It was absolutely beautiful. […]
Peer Pressure

Psalm 100 Is All About Thanksgiving
Read Psalm 100 right now. I’ll wait. Now that you have done that, what you just read was an invitation for the Lord’s people to recognize the Lord and His goodness and to publicly acknowledge Him. While this Psalm does not call on us to praise the Lord with thankfulness, it does describe for us […]
