Everyone has the Same Story In John 13, in the wake of Jesus washing the disciples feet, predicting his coming betrayal, and foretelling of Peter’s coming unfaithfulness and three denials, the disciples were feeling pretty insecure, to say the least.

Our Homelessness The Scripture tells us that we’ve all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The word glory in Greek is a diverse word. Kabod means a weighty presence in which to dwell. God’s presence is our home. The Garden of Eden was the first home, or kabod where God dwelled with man. Sadly, when we chose to sin, we all became homeless in the greatest sense. […]

TEXT IN SINGING | Pt. 2 Continuing from Day 3, one more thing emerges for our consideration in our songs.

One of the sacred actions of Christian worship is pilgrimage. The word “pilgrimage” may be defined as “journey made to a sacred place as an act of devotion.” The practice of pilgrimage may be traced to one of the theological emphases derived from the idea of “sacred place” connected to Hebrew worship in the Old […]

Courage is one of those attributes one normally associates with firefighters, police, and other public servants. Rarely do people call musicians courageous, unless they happen to be taking a particularly unpopular stance on a highly political issue.
