Fit for the Bride! (Henry Law, “Psalms” 1878) “For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the meek with salvation.” Psalm 149:4 It is the wonder of wonders that the great and glorious God should stoop to regard such creatures as we are.

Oftentimes you lose sight of David altogether, and are quiet certain that he is not there; while, at other times, the words seem equally suited either […]
A BELIEVER’S PEACE Where does a believer find real and genuine peace? On what foundation can we rest and say in truth, “It is well with my soul?” I’ll tell you; it lies in this, that we are justified by faith and not by works. Christ Jesus stood in my place before God. I was […]
Both our teacher and our lesson! (Charles Spurgeon) “He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures — the things concerning Himself.” Luke 24:27 The two disciples on the road to Emmaus had a most profitable journey. Their companion was the best of teachers — in whom is hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. […]
JESUS He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End! He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all! He is the Architect of the universe and The Manager of all times. He always was, He always is, and He always will be… Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone! He was […]
