Seven Woes
Jesus began talking with the crowds and with his disciples, warning them against becoming like the Pharisees and the teachers of the law.

To My Beloved
I believe the Lord Jesus gave me this song as a letter from him to his church. This is about humbling ourselves before God and under his mighty hand, that he may lift us up in due time.

The Lord gave me this … Continue reading Wake Up!
Keep On!
