Do you have anything to praise God for on this Wednesday? You’d better believe you do! You have manifold reasons, both big a small, to praise your Creator. Even if you are not a follower of Jesus Christ, you have lavishly experienced His common grace in the world around you and should return thanks to God, and if you are a follower…

It’s Wednesday. Last Wednesday was a dry Wednesday, but not this one!! Mercifully, it is raining, adding to the couple of inches of rain we’ve already received here in July after a June where we saw around a quarter of an inch of rain for the entire month. After a much-needed drink, my tomatoes and squash are blooming out again. Yes!! It’s…
Well, it’s Wednesday again. Are you ready to go to the mountaintop to worship the Lord? Today is a hymn written by one of the most endearing, enduring, and prolific writers of worship songs—Isaac Watts. He’s known as the “father of English hymnody” and credited with almost 520 songs. You probably know him best through his songs “Joy to the World!…
Good morning on this Wednesday! What a day it is to praise the Lord! We just finished up our Vacation Bible School this past Friday. We did Group’s “Sky” and had a wonderful time worshiping the Lord. One of the songs we sang last week has been on my mind constantly. It’s a newer worship song, but not brand new. In fact,…
Jesus is the Good Shepherd and will one day personally shepherd His flock when He returns, but for the meantime, He has placed men over His flock who are supposed to be good shepherds as well. These “pastors,” which is derived from the Latin word for “shepherd,” are ultimately measured by Jesus’ definition of a good shepherd. Do you have a good…
The hymn form of worship music is absolutely irreplaceable because it just lends itself to breadth, depth, and poetry. Such is the case with today’s worship song called “My Song Is Love Unknown.” The beauty and detail with which Samuel Crossman wrote in 1664 concerning our Savior is staggering. When sung to John Ireland’s meditative melodic dirge from 1918, the song moves…
Good Wednesday to you! This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it! Of course, there are manifold reasons to rejoice, but today I want us to think about rejoicing in God’s majesty. In fact, that’s the name of today’s song: “Majesty (Here I Am).” Martin Smith and Stuart Garrard of the band Delirious? penned…
One of the most haunting songs has to be the old mountain song “O Death.” Most of us are probably familiar with Ralph Stanley’s a capella version made famous in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou. In this lifetime, we certainly know death. On this Memorial Day as we remember the servicemen and service women who died for the USA, I…
God tells us through Paul, as translated in the KJV, to rightly divide Word of God, the Bible (2 Tim. 2:15). Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. People like to take the Scripture—especially the words of Jesus—and fill them with a different meaning than intended by God. Recently, President Obama did just that on May 9, 2012 when he announced in an interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts that he now supports the legalization of homosexual marriage and used the Golden Rule as one of his reasons…
Well, it’s Wednesday, and we’re once again turning our spotlight on songs to worship our great and glorious God. He’s so awesome! How could you not praise Him?!!! Today’s song is written by Brooke Fraser and also performed by her below along with the Hillsong band. The song was published in 2006 by Hillsong Music Publishing and is included on a few…
