No one on this earth is without faith. It’s just a matter of where you put it.
God gave us reason as a gift, and meant that we should use it. That it has led some to worship “reason” as a god, while rejecting God Himself, is only what we might expect from a fallen world. Or they can worship “Science.”
All those things are idols. They function when used properly. But like the feller said, a doormat makes a mighty fine doormat but a mighty poor god.
We have another hymn request by Erlene: In the Presence of Jehovah, by Terry MacAlmon.
Looks like another day smothered in politics; but we’ll keep the hymn shop open. Somebody might want to come in and share a hymn.
Please join in prayer for our dear friend and sister, Erlene, who is not feeling well today. Meanwhile, she has requested this hymn: I Surrender All, by Carroll Roberson. Please, Lord, refresh her spirit, give her strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
We have a hymn request from Susan: Amazing Grace, sung by metal artist Dan Vasc.
For some unknown reason, readers’ hymn requests dried up for a month. I try to post them all; so if you have a hymn you’d like to share, just let me know.
The Internet is smothered in politics today, and I don’t think you need me to add to it. Instead, we have another hymn request by Erlene: Rejoice Greatly, by Bruce and Lynne Patterson (inspired by Handel’s The Messiah).
At last, a hymn request! This one’s from Erlene–In the Garden, sung by Alan Jackson.
I try to post all hymns requested by readers, but there’s been a dry spell lately. If you’ve got a hymn you’d like to share, just let me know.
Mark Rushdoony
Are we the stars of a movie called “history”? Has it all led up to… us?
Mark Rushdoony asks a penetrating question: “What if the end of history is not soon approaching?”

How many people wind up thinking, “Our time is the end times–it’s all led up to now“? People have been believing that for 2,000 years.
We are where God has put us, and He is the only one who knows the number of the page in which we appear. Each of us is here for a reason. We may not know what it is, but we can be sure God knows.
History may not be about us; but like it or not, each of us is part of it.
There’ll be so much to learn when we finally get to Heaven!
I haven’t posted this hymn in a while; but it came into my head at bedtime last night, so I thought I’d better use it–In Christ Alone, by Keith and Kristyn Getty, with Alison Krauss.
“No scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand…” Amen!
This Welsh tune, “Hyfrydol,” has been adopted by any number of hymn texts. Here’s one I haven’t heard before, by St. Michael’s Singers–I Will Sing the Wondrous Story.
Background sets by God the Father.
I had problems posting a hymn today, but here, enjoy this–He Hideth My Soul, by Fanny Crosby, sung by the Antrim Mennonite Choir. One of five or six thousand Fanny wrote.
