When GOD Sings

I have never thought much about it until this morning reading the prophet Zephaniah; but God does sing.  I would think that He is a masterful singer, because He would be the Master of music. Hear the words of the prophet Zephaniah: "Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with …

What the LORD Requires

Many people spend much of their time trying to perform religious duties.  Religious duties that help them feel as though they are doing something that really obligates God to bless them, or to save them.

Captive and Useful

Whether we Christians would like to admit it or not we are strangers in a foreign land.  That does not matter what part of the world we live in.  We are both citizens and captives in our respective countries, and lands. We are citizens of nations, because we are in the world.  We are captives …
