How lovely

By samuel | Published: November 12, 2007
When once I did not know Him, I cried and con­fessed myself to be lonely. Now when I am tired, I cry on His shoul­der, con­fess­ing my need for Him: more and more and more of Him. Come Lord Jesus The Israelites cry out. God tells them: Don’t you even remem­ber? Don’t you remem­ber what I did in the begin­ning? How [...]

By samuel | Published: November 9, 2007

Tozer wrote the following: “To be artic­u­late at times, we are com­pelled to fall back upon ‘Oh’ [...]

Solidarity

By samuel | Published: October 22, 2007
The writer of Hebrews reminds us: “Remem­ber those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mis­treated, since you also are in the body.” (Hebrews 13:3) Now I don’t know of any resource for martrys, pris­on­ers, and other per­se­cuted Chris­tians in the US (any­one?), but good places to find infor­ma­tion [...]

I had a dream a cou­ple weeks ago–recording for both my ben­e­fit (in the future) and those who read: ———- We (myself and two oth­ers) crouched in the bushes by the side of road. It is night. Up in front of us stood a tall fence, with bob-wire on top, the road run­ning up to it, with a [...]
