I cry out to God,for the blazing radiance of God's eternal Sonto burn within my bones,to burn within my heart,to burn within my bowels, within my mind,to create a tongue of eternal fire;a pillar of God's consuming heat resting on my head andI ache for the bliss of His presence,the bliss of His words, i …
Breaking Sin Into Pieces
There is a passage which speaks of the millennium, when Jesus Christ will rule upon earth, upon David's throne for a thousand years. But I think we can also take it and apply it spiritually to ourselves right now. It is found in the Psalms. "The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the …

As described from several Psalms, The LORD "brought streams out of the rock," He "caused waters to run down like rivers" from it; "He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like …
Faithful to Hear
God is a wonderful Father. He is never too busy for us, and is always welcoming us to pray to Him. In fact, this is one quality of God's faithfulness toward us and His righteousness. David says, "Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy …
