“Even though I walk
David, Psalm 23:4
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.”
Jesus, King of angels, Heaven’s light
Shine Your face upon this house tonight
Let no evil come into my dreams
Light of Heaven, keep me in Your peaceRemind me how You made dark spirits flee
And spoke Your power to the raging sea
And spoke Your mercy to a sinful man
Remind me Jesus, this is what I amThe universe is vast beyond the stars
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me and bind meWith all my heart I love You, Sovereign Lord
Tomorrow let me love You even more
And rise to speak the goodness of Your name
Until I close my eyes and sleep againThe universe is vast beyond the stars
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me and bind meJesus, King of angels, Heaven’s light

“God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.”
The Keaton Family
Bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears;
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.
Bigger than all my questions, bigger than anything;
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.Bigger than all the shadows that fall across my path,
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.
He’s bigger than all the confusion, bigger than anything;
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.Bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears;
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.
Bigger than all my questions, bigger than anything;
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.Bigger than all the giants of pain and unbelief;
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.
Bigger than any hangups, bigger than anything;
My God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.Bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears;
Stephen Hill
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.
Bigger than all my questions, bigger than anything;
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.
“… March on, my soul; be strong!”
Deborah and Barak, Judges 5:21
For twenty years, Canaan had its jackboot on Israel’s throat. When they cried to God for help, He answered and hand-picked Deborah, “a mother in Israel,” to judge His chosen people.
With the help of God and Jael, a woman with MacGyver-like ingenuity, Israel routed Canaan and the land had peace for forty years.
To celebrate, Deborah and Barak sang a victory song. Imagine what it sounded like as they belted it out in the original Hebrew!
Catch the whole story in Judges 4–5.
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
The Porch, a ministry in Dallas, did a live ultrasound during a sermon!
“For You created my inmost being;
Psalm 139:13-16
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from You
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
Your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in Your book
before one of them came to be.”
Best argument against dating an unbeliever we’ve ever heard…
“I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”
Paul, 2 Corinthians 6:2
