Words wither and blogs fade away…
Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!

SoD: “You are God alone”
You Are God Alone
Music and lyrics by Billy and Cindy Foote. Recorded by Phillips, Craig and Dean.

The new “Methodist Bible”?
I find it interesting that, in all the breaking hullabaloo† about the recently announced new Bible translation project, no one has picked up on the angle that this project “is sponsored by the Christian Resources Development Corp, a subsidiary funded by the United Methodist Publishing House for ecumenical partnerships in curriculum, music, and Bibles.”
That’s right, [...]

In the comments to that earlier post, I mentioned it would be interesting to post both an original prayer and [...]

Puritan prayer in verse and song
I’ve received several recommendations to check out some of the music from Sovereign Grace Ministries, especially for lyrics that are God-centered rather than me-focused. So I did. I downloaded their album “Valley of Vision“, which was inspired by a book of Puritan prayers of the same name†. And I like it, a lot.
