Father, forever faithful
in keeping your covenant of love
You have never forsaken Your people
or betrayed our trust
You are faithful and true
and just to say I love You is not enough
If I say I love You
I will do what You say

You are not a god
Created by human hands
You are not a god
Dependent on any mortal man
You are not a god
In need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that’s just the way it is
You are [...]
I’ve been tagged again. This time with a slightly less insidious meme from Nick Norelli (from Lingamish) to post a photo of the view from my office. Well, nothing glamorous this time:
The first photo is of our basement office. My chair is on the right, in the corner. The standard furnishings of a coffee [...]

That’s right, [...]
Today’s “song of the day” post is a follow up to my original note on the Puritan prayer book, The Valley of Vision, and the musical CD based on it, produced by Sovereign Grace Ministries. In the comments to that earlier post, I mentioned it would be interesting to post both an original prayer and [...]
We’re undergoing some renovations in our office place, including building out a new front lobby display. The central creative theme is going to be built around the concept of a “six word story“. For those unfamiliar, Ernest Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words and is said to have called it his best [...]
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.
The lyrics [...]

We had a powerful presentation at church today from Brother Yun, a representative of the Back to Jerusalem organization and former pastor within the underground house church movement in China that claims 130 million Christians. The Back to Jerusalem group’s goal is to complete the Great Commission by preaching the gospel from China back to [...]
