  • Justice.... eventually

    Here are three recent articles about the lack of justice in various parts of the world such as Honduras and Egypt... and what God is doing, both now behind the scenes, and (see quote from Psalm 10) what He is going to do in a big, final, way some day. If you only have time to read one article, read the first one.

    "Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Your hand.
    Do not forget the afflicted.

    Why has the wicked spurned God?
    He has said to himself, “You will not require it.”

    You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand.
    The unfortunate commits himself to You;
    You have been the helper of the orphan.

    Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
    Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

    The Lord is King forever and ever;
    Nations have perished from His land.

    O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
    You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear

    To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed,
    So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror."
    Psalm 10:12-18

  • God knows the whole story

    Ron Hamilton wrote this song 38 years ago (3 years after he lost one eye to cancer).

    God never moves without purpose or plan
    When trying His servant and molding a man.
    Give thanks to the LORD though your testing seems long;
    In darkness He giveth a song.

    O Rejoice in the LORD
    He makes no mistake,
    He knoweth the end of each path that I take,
    For when I am tried
    And purified,
    I shall come forth as gold.

    I could not see through the shadows ahead;
    So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead.
    I bowed to the will of the Master that day;
    Then peace came and tears fled away.

    Now I can see testing comes from above;
    God strengthens His children and purges in love.
    My Father knows best, and I trust in His care;
    Through purging more fruit I will bear.

  • nor things to come

    Good article:

    "... nor things to come ..." (Romans 8:38). 2019 will be a mess. But one thing 2019 cannot do is separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. And that is why, with the gospel in our hearts, we just don't freak out. We stay calm and sure. God is with us.
