We don’t yet have any hymn requests today, so… the first one to pop into my head–
Burdens Are Lifted at Calvary, by The Voice of Eden.
We thank you, Lord, for our brothers and sisters in Christ who live in other countries, all over the world. Help us all to carry out the Great Commission. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Requested by SlimJim–The Promise, by the Martins.
Our Lord never promised us an easy time in this fallen world. And we’re not getting one.
God help us.
I know, I know, I post this hymn rather often. I’ve been worried for my wife, worried for my cat–and Phoebe’s cat, Iggy, needs your prayers today–had a poor night’s sleep… but this hymn is soul medicine.
Light of the World by Charles Wesley, sung the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band. It never fails to stir my soul. I hope it does the same for you.
Here’s a short but filling theological lunch prepared by our friend SlimJim, of the Domain for Truth blog.
Quick Thoughts on the authority of Christ in book of Matthew
What, exactly, is Christ’s authority? Who gave it to Him? How does He exercise it? And how are we to respond to it? It’s amazing how many clear answers to those questions can be found in just the Book of Matthew.
I try to promote the work of my fellow Christian bloggers. Big Tech tries to keep us down, so we need to help each other. If you have a Christian blog and would like me to display some of your work here, please let me know.
Mark 14:36 KJV Hallelujah ABBA FATHER and more Blessings!!
There’s a lot of treasure here; but the leading lesson is a simple one: “Abba” means “Father.” We are God’s children: created by Him, adopted with His only begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. The lesson is repeated throughout the New Testament (for instance, Mark 14:36, Romans 8:15).
See the blog, “Kristi Ann’s Haven,” for this… and much more.
Note: I try to showcase the work of other Christian bloggers. Big Tech wants to stifle us: we need to help each other.
What gives this morning? No comments, no likes.
What? Is it too late for Christmas cheer?
I don’t think so. But let’s see who’ll hear the carol.
Still sick, zero likes, zero comments–maybe a hymn by Charles Wesley can cheer things up around here. One of my favorite hymns: Light of the World, performed the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
We thank you for your prayers.
I wasn’t able to write a Newswithviews column this week. I worked so hard, finishing The Witch Box, that other jobs just piled up on me.
So here’s one from Christmas Day, seven years ago:

What? A Christmas column inspired by 1 Corinthians Chapter 1?
You bet.
Merry Christmas, everybody–and here’s to the day, by the grace and power of God, we get our freedom back.
I just don’t have it in me to write up any nooze this afternoon. It’s dreary nooze out there. Who really wants to read it?
Instead, I offer up this old Burgundian Christmas carol which, to me, conjures up memories of sitting on the floor by the Christmas tree and loving it–Pat-a-Pan, sung by the Stairwell Carollers. I think they’re singing in Burgundian. Why not?
Christmas is coming. Christ the Savior is born. Someday the dreary nooze will stop. Let Our Lord Jesus Christ reign in our hearts, and pray for Him to reign on earth.
This hymn was in my head all day yesterday. I hope you don’t mind my posting it again, it’s one of my favorites–Light of the World by Charles Wesley, sung by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
If you’re new hear, we take as many hymn requests as we can get. If you have a hymn you’d like to share, just say so, leave it as a comment anywhere… and we’ll do the rest.
