Great is the Lord - Psalm 145

By

            I will extol you, my God and King,
      and bless your name forever and ever.
            Every day I will bless you
      and praise your name forever and ever.
            Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
      and his greatness is unsearchable.

            One generation shall commend your works to another,
      and shall declare your mighty acts.
            On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
      and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
            They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
      and I will declare your greatness.
            They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
      and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

            The LORD is gracious and merciful,
      slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
            The LORD is good to all,
      and his mercy is over all that he has made.

            All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD,
      and all your saints shall bless you!
            They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom
      and tell of your power,
            to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds,
      and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
            Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
      and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

                  [The LORD is faithful in all his words
      and kind in all his works.]
            The LORD upholds all who are falling
      and raises up all who are bowed down.
            The eyes of all look to you,
      and you give them their food in due season.
            You open your hand;
      you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
            The LORD is righteous in all his ways
      and kind in all his works.
            The LORD is near to all who call on him,
      to all who call on him in truth.
            He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
      he also hears their cry and saves them.
            The LORD preserves all who love him,
      but all the wicked he will destroy.

            My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD,
      and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

Reflective Glory: How the Moon Displays the Mercy of God

By
Our sun is a fitting metaphor for the glory of God. In the context of our solar system, it is massive, bright, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, heat-producing, life-giving, and dangerous. It is, by far, the dominant feature of our solar system and without it the system would fling apart and all living things therein would die.  On the other hand, our moon is a fitting metaphor for human beings, especially for those who believe in Jesus Christ. First, compared to the sun, the moon is tiny and dim. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon, its mass is 27 million times greater than the mass of the moon, and from our perspective its light shines 450,000 times brighter than that of the moon. The sun is so much greater than the moon that it’s difficult to quantify and express the difference. Likewise, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is so much great than each and all of us that it’s impossible to quantify or express the difference. Indeed, the Lord is very great and greatly...

When Children Say "I'm Bored" By Julie Lowe

By
This Article is written by Julie Lowe and was originally posted on the CCEF blog.  I highlighted the areas of particular interest. I had already prepared a blogpost on dealing with boredom from a Christian worldview and then came across this. There is much overlap between the two, perhaps this one is more concise while my work attempts to explain the connection between the ability to think and the ability to be happy. You can visit the original blogpost in the link provided below.  https://www.ccef.org/resources/blog/children-say-im-bored   We have a common crisis in our home; it is the calamity of boredom. Our children might even consider it a catastrophe. “I’m bored” is repeated so often it would not be an overstatement to say that these words echo continuously throughout our home especially during any break from school. These are children with limited media time but still children with a Wii and Xbox system, a pool outside our door, multiple games, toy...
