“Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.” Rabindranath Tagore I’ve been wrestling in my faith walk the last few days I’ve kind of been in a mood in the last few days.

You have simply got to put one foot in front of the other and keep going.

So many of us have faith, but when doubt and unbelief creep in, our faith is the first thing to be compromised.” John Tesh I’ve found myself struggling to trust God As the week starts, I can’t help but take a moment and dwell on the state of the world.

We brought out the candles and... Read more
“Music is well said to be the speech of angels.” – Thomas Carlyle Yesterday I wrote how a hymn a day can keep the spirit stayed. On the Subject of hymns… Do you have a song in your heart?

“Hymns have been a powerful instrument of God to draw people closer to God’s word and the saving riches therein.” Billy Graham I have had hymns on my mind recently Today I opened my browser, I squinted my eyes, took a deep breath and read the news.

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.” Corrie Ten Boom Have you ever taken a moment and really looked at the names in the “Hall of faith” that is mentioned in Hebrews 11?
