When people discuss wishes, many suggest a good option would be to wish for world peace. Around Christmas time there is talk of peace on earth, world peace. Whenever there is unrest in the world or wars being fought, our thoughts turn to peace, hoping that someday we...

True Worship

I've been reading The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan lately, and I came across a line that made me want to write about worship. This line is spoken by Faithful in response to an accusation that Mr. Envy brought upon him: "Therefore whatever is thrust into the...
