The Silence Thief
Guard yourself from him who takes, He who steals – the silence breaks, Quiet moments he destroys. Sound and racket he employs. Blasts your days with deaf’ning noise.

Feed Your Faith
Faith is like a certain provision we take along on our road of deeds. Faith feeds our courage to step out. Faith knows that raging waves submit under the Master’s feet, and understands that rushing waters part with a Word of Christ’s command. Faith is not needed for that which…

My Strong Tower
