Boasting in the LORD, Alone

We live in a competitive world.  Men and women compete for positions of power and influence in nations, states and cities.  They compete for championships, both team and individual, in sports, and for awards and honors in the entertainment field.

Christ, The Altogether Lovely One

It has been my deepest desire to glorify God in these posts, and my daily prayer that God would use them to elevate our affections for His Son, our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, through both my writing and your reading of them.  I must acknowledge however, that none of the posts I have written

We are provided with a list of how that depravity will be manifested and it includes being unthankful. I personally see this very clearly in our society today,
