Please pray through this setting of Psalm 45. My heart does overflow, a goodly theme is mine; My eager tongue with joyful song does praise the King divine. Supremely fair you are, your lips with grace overflow, His richest blessings evermore does God on you bestow. Amid your glorious train kings’ daughters waiting stand, And fairest gems bedeck you…

2:00Please enjoy this poem by Christina Rossetti. None other Lamb, none other name, None other hope in heaven or earth or sea, None other hiding place from guilt or shame, None besides thee! My faith burns low, my hope burns low; Only my heart’s desire cries out in me By the deep thunder of its want and woe, Cries out to thee. Lord, thou art Life, thou…

O that birth forever blessed, when the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, bore the Savior of our race, And the babe, the world’s Redeemer, first revealed his sacred face.By Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson

God’s wrath is warranted and just in its execution. The first angel takes up his bowl, walks over to the earth, and pours it out. The second angel follows, goes over the waters, pours out God’s wrath and the sequence is repeated through the third, fourth… There is a cadence to the unleashing. God’s wrath is poured out over time, it is not a tyranni…

Refreshment is such a wonderful word. We love things that are refreshing. It’s life coming back to life. The Greek word connects to both pulse and breath. So, to be refreshed by God means we have a spiritual pulse again. Our heart beats with the joy of being loved. We breathe a sigh of relief that we are forgiven. Our heart leaps to learn how much …

The positive command to rejoice in the Lord includes the negative command to cease exalting in human standards. Stop taking so seriously your resume or your portfolio or lack of one. Without Christ, these are nothing but false paths to an illusive dream of a good life. Trash that story as your primary life narrative. Jump into your participation in…

Real Christianity is the farthest thing from the world’s monotonous grind. The creativity in the relationships of Paul, Epaphroditus and Timothy makes us fully alive with the adventure of living for Christ. Do you have your 3? Are you living out your 3 for others?By Gerrit Dawson

Christians are called out of the world as children of God. But we do not lose our solidarity with all the world. We know the evil in our hearts. We know the love God had for the world that hated him. We know our light shines brightest when we turn the other cheek, when we wash feet, when we lay down our lives for another. When we recognize the huma…

26:44You can talk about spirituality all day long in any place, and the worst response you will get is boredom. You can talk about a Higher Power and create little offense. You can even talk about following the teachings of the “J” man, and as long as you keep him on the level of any other great ethical teacher, no one minds. Speak of the man Jesus as t…

We should be willing to act on a prompting from the Spirit and risk things getting messy. Opportunities are all around us every day. If we open ourselves to this, the world might be drawn to our Savior. The surest way to develop an interest in others’ lives and to see their significance is through prayer. Notice what people are living through and p…

What does it look like today for us to live as dual citizens of our nation, but devoting ourselves to the kingdom of God? In our increasingly polarized environment, there is a cultural expectation of what it means to “honor the emperor” that may approach ultimate trust or devotion. No political party can or should claim that place of authority in a…

The counter-cultural gospel subverts the chronic despair of lost people with the hope of everlasting life. It subverts the crippling power of shame with the healing force of atonement. It undermines living for self-protection with the mighty assurance that we are thoroughly known and infinitely loved. It replaces the pretensions of a life-story abo…

My deep prayer for your life is that you will know Jesus Christ more truly so that you can distinguish what matters in life from what trivializes, or distracts, or leads astray. I want your love to abound for each other to deepen through knowledge, the kind of knowledge that lets you discern trash from treasure, false narratives from the true story…
