Psalm 107 gives us four vivid pictures of what it’s like to be lost and what it’s like to be saved. In Psalm 107:1-9 you have travelers out in the desert, and there’s no city to dwell in. They’re hungry, they’re thirsty, and God comes and leads them by the right way and brings them into the city of …

In one day in the United States of America, Americans will eat 47 million hot dogs. They will eat 1.3 million TV dinners and consume 12.5 million pounds of cheese.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from …

And now we pause to pray. Thank You, Father, for the Word. It's the lamp that guides us, and it's the food that nourishes us, and it's the sword that defends us, and the water that cleanses us. Now help us to learn from it, and help us to practice what we learn. We pray in the name of our Lord …

2 Peter 3:14: Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. The Apostle Peter is writing his last words to these friends. He had written a first letter to them and now he wrote a second letter to warn them …
