STRONG COMFORT

This week I received word of a dear friend whose wife is at the point of death. As I prayed for him these words welled up in my heart. We are not those who sorrow and have no hope, but in our sorrow we have a strong hope and a strong comfort.

When the shadows are heavy
When the way is steep,
When my heart is aching
When I cry our and weep,
You are my strong comfort
Your presence is always sure,
And In Your strong hands
Your child is always secure.

THE WORSHIP OF THE BODY

All day my heart has been thankful for the worship service this Lord's Day as we gathered at the Lord's Table. The Gospel is the heart of saving faith and living faith. May God help us to ever be centered on the Gospel in our worship, our since of mission, our praying, and our daily living. Early Sunday morning in my devotional time, thinking about the coming worship time together I penned these words.

BEHOLD

Behold the Father
Unspeakable grace,
Sending the Son
To die in our place,
Behold the Son
Suffer our anguish,
The sting of sin
Ever vanquish,
Behold the Spirit
Salvation apply,
Coming in power
To make us alive,
Behold our God
Three-in-One,
Blessed Trinity
The victory won.

NEW WEDNESDAY EVENING STUDY

This past Wednesday evening we finihed our verse by verse study of the book of James. This Wednesday (Oct. 13) we are going to start a new study through the book of Exodus. Exodus tells the exciting story of God's redemption of Israel from the bondage in Egypt. In it we clearly see the roots and development of the Gospel in the Old Testament. Join us at 6:00 each Wednesday for the ministry of the Word and the ministry of prayer.
