I’m Back!

I have returned from my brief weekend excursion and am back in the comfort of my own home. I have long been what my mother would call a “home body” so I am always happy to come home to my office, my couch and best of all, my family. Of course I had a very enjoyable weekend and was treated to some very good speeches and lots of wonderful company. I met all sorts of people I had seen around and about the church but had never had time, opportunity or (to my shame) inclination to meet. And, as always seems to be the way, I got far too little sleep and am currently operating at a drastically reduced intellectual capacity. This could post a problem as I intend to lead a Bible study this evening, but I will hope, pray and trust for the best.

I’ll be back online tomorrow and, after a good night’s sleep, will hopefully have something both intelligent and intelligible to share with you.

    How To Make the Devil Shout for Joy

    As we fall away from the company of our brothers and sisters, as we grow distant from the voice of God through his Word, as we grow lackadaisical in speaking to God through prayer, Satan smiles, he laughs, he shouts for joy. Our sorrow is his pleasure.
