Clarence Anderson told us a little story of what happened after their Conventions in Mexico were finished. Garret Hughes was leaving and there was a Mexican sister who couldn’t speak English, but wanted to say, “Thank you,” to Garret in a language he could understand. She asked how she must say it (in English). The … Read more
Hymn 32 Deuteronomy 2, we read in this chapter about the journeys of the Children of Israel. God had led them out of Egypt and was leading them now through the wilderness, over the mountains, and the hills into the Promised Land. A few times in this chapter God said to turn. They had … Read more
Don’t blame others. Get to the root of the matter. When something is buried at sea, there is no trace of it and the Lord will place our sin in the sea of forgetfulness. Sometimes, we have nothing to bring to Jesus except a deep need. Be as a little child and … Read more

I was at Paris, Tennessee convention grounds and knew that Albert was supposed to be coming there and counting the days and was so looking forward to seeing him again. But the … Read more
Opening hymn: 348 Hymn 173, “God Is Here” I love the thought of God delighting to abide with His people. Doesn’t it give us confidence in Him? I liked what we were singing, “God is here amongst His people, He delights there to abide.” There is no greater thing to desire than that … Read more
