The heavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
For who in the skies is comparable to the LORD?
Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD,
A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
And awesome above all those who are around Him?
O LORD God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty LORD?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
You rule the swelling of the sea;
When its waves rise, You still them.
You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain;
You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and all it contains, You have founded them.
The north and the south, You have created them;
Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.
You have a strong arm;
Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before You.
How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
O LORD, they walk in the light of Your countenance.
In Your name they rejoice all the day,
And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
For You are the glory of their strength,
And by Your favor our horn is exalted.

Psalm 89:5-17

Doh! I’m late with this one, but it’s yum-o!  Worth the wait and boy could I eat the whole, durn thang!  This is my favorite recipe for garlic bread and I think it comes from a salad dressing label.

1/4 c italian dressing
1/4 c melted butter
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1 loaf italian bread

Mix first three ingredients together in small sauce pan over medium-low heat till butter is melted.  Spread on bread slices and broil under broiler till light brown.

Sit down and eat the whole loaf.

I created this video of worship to the Lord featuring one of my favorite hymns.  I pray this blesses you and lifts your hands in worship to Him who is Almighty.

I’m pleased to promote the latest book by Dr. Michael Horton, Christless Christianity.  In our ministry in Second Life we have seen this vividly portrayed.  The American church has redefined love as tolerance and has placed moralism and personal transformation center stage.

“Christians have always had their differences, but never in church history have there been so many statistics indicating that many Christians today are practicing what can only be described as “Christless Christianity.”

“Christless Christianity guides the reader to a greater understanding of a big problem within the American religious setting, namely the creeping fog of countless sermons in churches across the country that focus on moralistic concerns and personal transformation rather than the theology of the cross.

“Michael Horton’s analysis of the contemporary church points believers back to the power of a gospel that should never be assumed.”

I encourage all of you to order a copy of Christless Christianity.

God is sovereign.  This inescapable, immutable truth is the cornerstone of sound, Biblical doctrine.  When our faith is man-centered and man-focused the subject is man and the object is God.  We “place the emphasis on the wrong syllable”.  But, Scripture shows us that God is the first, middle and ending cause.  God is the subject and man is the object.

In this time of global uncertainty, when the daily news brings with it cause for concern and makes our hearts tremble, the sovereignty of God is a bulwark, a bastion to which every one of His children may run.  He is not a little bit God, nor is He a little bit sovereign.  He is utterly, assuredly, completely, radically, wholly, perfectly, thoroughly, unconditionally, inconceivably, incomprehensibly, stunningly sovereign.

“Remember this, and be assured; recall it to mind, you transgressors. Remember the former things long past, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things which have not been done, saying, ‘My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure;”  - Isaiah 46:8-10

“Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the LORD, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.” - Deuteronomy 4:39

Fear not.  He is.

Hubby did this new caricature of me :)  Can you imagine being married to a cartoonist?

Our ministry in Second Life is growing and we’ve been blessed with the most wonderful friends and staff.  Take a leap and create an account to come see us.  If you’re Reformed in your faith you are desperately needed on this very real mission field.  Let me know if you’re coming.  I’ll meet you when you arrive.
