Sitting Under the Kudzu Vine

So the LORD God appointed a plant and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head.

LOVE, THE DIFFICULT DISCIPLINE

Love that pours from the heart of God into the hearts of His children produces a deep affection for one another. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, love never fails. Can you imagine what kind of people we would be if we worked as hard at loving each other as we do to spite each other and to put each other down? Each one of us has the right to expect the kind of love that bears all things, believes all things and hopes all things. I have times when life does not seem worth living, you have such times as well and that is when we need each other to bear our burdens.

KÝRIE ELÉISON

“The phrase, Kýrie (the vocative of Kyrios), eléison, O Lord have Mercy, has been a part of liturgical worship for centuries in both Greek and Latin worship. I am no expert on liturgical worship, I am a Baptist after all, but it seems to me that this is a vital component of any kind of worship.”
