Jesus manifested in Clay Pots
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body [...]
What God Wants Most For You
“God loves you very much. But God also loves Himself, because to do anything less would mean not being God. More than any of us, God knows how valuable He is. He knows He’s God. He knows He’s central. As a result, He values Himself most.
No, He’s not egotistical, thinking more highly of Himself than [...]
A Gifted Response
This is a gifted response
Father we cannot come to You by our own merit
We will come in the name of Your son
As He glorifies You
And in the power of Your Spirit
~
We have come to something so mysterious
Too deep for minds to comprehend
Through the open door
Where the angels sing
And the host of heaven are antheming…

Worship through Questioning and Doubting
Why have you rejected us forever, O God?
Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?

Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?
–Psalm 74
O LORD God Almighty, how long will your anger smolder against the prayers of [...]
How Loud is your Love?
I may be just ranting here. But I have heard people say, actions speak louder than words.
But it seems in today’s church environment of ours, all we ever do is at most sing out lives of love to God. Maybe it is just that our culture that hinders us from freely expressing our [...]

Worship is a Global Thing
Psalm 67
Make Your Face Shine upon Us
1 May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face to shine upon us, Selah
2 that your way may be known on earth,
your saving power among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
4 Let the nations be glad and [...]
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the [...]
