Though the nations rage, kingdoms rise and fallThere is still one King reigning over allSo I will not fear for this truth remainsThat my God is, the Ancient of Days None above Him, none before HimAll of time in His handsFor His throne it shall remain and…

I Thank God
I was at a conference this week and this song was used in one of our worship times. It deeply moved me. I am finding when I am coming across new music that moves me this deeply it is from Maverick City right now.

Put Not Your Hope in the Nation (Psalm 146)
Every line of this song is so deeply impacting to me. It is wonderful to listen to again and again. One verse in particular: He is the hope of the hungryHe is the Lord of the feastOur Father’s house always opens wideTo welcome refugees

Where is the moving of the Spirit? (Of course, no one actually asks me these things. Silence is the code these days.)

Worship TOGETHER is important
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:“Salvation belongs to our God,who sits on the…
