Loneliness, A Devotional By J. R. Miller

Christ experienced deep loneliness in His ministry and atoning work
This is a very thought provoking devotional about a state with which we’re all very familiar: loneliness. In a sense, we experience loneliness during all of our lives, even if we are surrounded by loving friends during much of it. How so? Our inner choices, questions, battles, sorrows, burdens…are faced alone (unless one is born again, in that case, Christ is with him) …He talks about several stages of life: the necessary struggles of youth; the loneliness of sorrow and loss; the loneliness of old age; and of death

Psalm 51 Performed By Sons of Korah In A Contemporary Arrangement

My purpose in posting Psalms recently is to show that scripture can be arranged in a contemporary manner; furthermore, all who sing and listen can be certain that they are hearing music that is approved by God, He wrote the lyrics. Hearers and singers can also be sure that the content is doctrinally sound and edifying. No one can say that about contemporary Christian music in general; some has a trace of doctrine….

Psalms 104 sung in ancient Hebrew | ברכי נפשי את ה’ – תהלים קד by Yamma Ensemble

In this post, Psalm 104 is sung by Yamma Ensemble: Ensemble Yamma, Israel’s leading delicate world music ensemble presents original contemporary Hebrew music. The group members stay true to the character of the Middle East, the region where they were born and raised. The soulful, exotic music is accompanied by ancient musical instruments (kopuz, duduk, hand drums), which are typical of the Middle East.

Psalm 1 Performed by New Saint Andrews College and Christ Church

This post shows a more traditional arrangement of Psalm 1, Composition by Dr. David Erb, of New Saint Andrews College and Christ Church, in Moscow, Idaho. Dr. Erb plays and sings the Psalm during the initial half of the following 4 minute video; the college choir sings during the second half. In case you are not familiar with Reformed Protestant churches, I have to say that their congregations sing from the Book of Psalms for Worship, like the college students in the video

Psalm Singing In a Contemporary Style

This post contains two songs using only scripture, by vocalist, Esther Mui: Psalm 119:137-144 (NKJV) Song “Righteous are You, O Lord;”and from Psalm 34:1-9 “O Taste and See that the Lord is Good”   Although these songs have a contemporary flavor, they are certainly approved by God, as He wrote the lyrics

We Must Continually Come To Christ: Pastor James Smith [Devotional Reading]

James Smith was a predecessor of Charles Spurgeon at New Park Street Chapel in London from 1841 until 1850. Early on, Smith’s readings were even more popular than Spurgeon’s! This post is related to the preceding one, Walking in the Spirit; it provides a few insights about how the Spirit works in the born-again believer. …Although I have written about that topic a lot, especially the beatitude posts, I have only scratched the surface. And since contemporary Christianity seemingly understands nothing of the matter, this post is to help believers who seek answers to such questions.

Walking in the Spirit

Pastor Kenneth Stewart of Glasgow RP Church of Scotland preached the following sermon titled, The Need To Triumph. It is about walking in the Spirit.
However, this sermon differs from many on this topic because it gives specifics on sowing-reaping; how to notice your own sowing; what to do about that; how sowing impacts one’s spiritual walk; things one needs engage in to promote a spiritual life that lends itself to walking in the Spirit…. 

‘Men Are Coming’: 255 California Prison Inmates Have Requested Transfer to Women’s Prisons Since January: Epoch Times

Since January, 261 California prison inmates have requested transfers to prisons aligning with their gender identity, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation told the Daily Caller News Foundation Tuesday.
