We live in a very noisy world. Even as I attempt to write this article in reflective silence, it is broken … Continue reading Silence as the Antidote to a Noisy World
Recently, I was reminded of the lyrics to a popular song among Christian youth about twenty years ago. The song is titled “Thankful” by the —at the time— immensely popular band Caedmon’s Call. In the opening few lines, the songwriter muses about finding a box of letters while sifting through items that needed to be … Continue reading Seek First The Kingdom
