Praise & Shine 40: Let Us Praise

God’s continued faithfulness toward His beloved children inspires us to acknowledge Him. As we do, others can join us in trusting Him, revering Him, following Him, and acclaiming Him as Lord. 

Praise & Shine 39: Together

There was a man who wondered why is there a football in the parking lot? But as he got closer, he realized the greyish lump wasn’t a football: it was a goose—what he described as the saddest Canada goose he had ever seen…

Praise & Shine 38: Our Deepest Longings

Some people will expend immense energy attempting to amass wealth in an effort to secure their lives. It’s a fool’s game. “Whoever loves money never has enough,” scripture insists (Ecclesiastes 5:10). Some will work themselves to the bone. They’ll strive and push, comparing their possessions with others and straining to achieve some economic status. And yet even if they gain supposed financial freedom, they’ll still be unsatisfied. It’s not enough. As the writer of Ecclesiastes states, “this too is meaningless” (v. 10).

Praise & Shine 37: Innocence Found

“I’m not who I once was. I’m a new person.”

Praise & Shine 36: Places Of Difficulty

Trust The Lord, because His love, grace, mercy, comfort, guidance, more than sustains us, and we can express our satisfaction with lips that praise and honor God (vv. 3-5).
