If It Takes a Valley
If it takes a valley to really know Your grace And if it's in the desert where I'll meet You face to face Then turn this path I'm traveling to some dark and lonely place 'Cause if it takes a valley, then a valley's what I'll take (From If It Takes a Valley by Brian...

The Hemphills – “I Can Smile” (1986)

One of the coolest covers is this 1985 album by the Hemphills. Read all about it…

Show Me Your Faith By Your Works
Many are the sermons I have heard throughout my life as to how we are not saved by works. Very rarely do I hear a sermon on the importance of works. Every Sunday school child memorizes Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of...
Why Are You Here?
I shamefully admit that I get way too discouraged sometimes. I'm 44, not married, I don't have a lot of strength and stamina which leads to my letting people down who lean on me. Then there are relational stresses, getting behind in work, etc. When I dwell on these...
SGMA Benefit Concert (Cumming, GA)
I was able to attend an SGMA benefit concert held at the North Lanier Baptist Church in Cumming, Georgia on Thursday night. Travis Bridgeman is the pastor of a smaller baptist church in the city and he spearheads this event. He got quite a number of sponsors and...
End-of-April Reflections
I'm a bit down today. I am very blessed, and God has been so good to me, yet there are still days in which I think back over my life and wonder what, if anything, I have achieved. There are also things I would not have written into my life's script and, yet, I know...
How Deep the Father’s Love
How deep the Father's love for us How vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasure On this day when we celebrate the Resurrection, I am still praying, "Lord, remind me of the Cross. Remind me how deep Your love is for me and...
Lessons from Haman
As a child, the story of Esther was one of my favorites in the Bible. What girl wouldn't like the story of a common Jew who quickly gets promoted to queenhood, winning the favor of prominent people? One of the best parts of the story, though, features Haman. I love...
CD Review: “They Don’t Know” – The Kingsmen
Is this a suitable follow-up to their landmark “Battle Cry” album?
Willing to Be Used by God
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me These words penned by Steven Curtis Chapman echo my sentiment most of the time. I can relate to Gideon who referred to himself as "the least in my father's house"...
A Sad, All-Too-Common Story
Tom Sullivan grew up in a Christian home and was in church every time the doors opened. At the age of 18, he married his high school sweetheart, a strong Christian woman who had also grown up in a Christian family. Not long after they were married, she became pregnant...
Why Are You Here?
As a child, my dream was to be a singer. When people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, that is what I would tell them. I don't remember when this dream subsided, but I know that it lasted throughout my teen years. Although now in my 40s, I still love turning...
