City on the Hill
I have been praying for revival, for several years. My prayer is for the Universal Church, Jesus’ Body, to see what she is able to do, were she to believe all that He told her. We might have to ask us this question, which is put so poignantly put by Casting Crowns, “One by one,…

Love Notes
I almost missed the little slip of paper, which had obviously been torn out of a notebook. It was small enough to escape one’s notice easily. There it sat on the floor.

Our Hope

The Unseen Hand
An Unseen Hand has formed this place – From nothing made all that is seen. The Hand which spans all time and space With gentle care formed you and me. This Hand has weighed the mountains grand. Deep in its hollow measured seas. It counted dust and grains of sand, Set boundaries for all living…

How I Love You!
What all could I do, to show you my love? Should I let the stars sing, or turn planets above? What else could I move, to convince you I care? Should I send raging storms, or move lightening through air? What act of my love would persuade you today? Should I, in myself, for depravity…
