The Peace of Christ
The Lord Jesus was speaking to my heart concerning letting the peace of Christ rule in my heart, and to think about the things above, and not to dwell on the cares of this world.

The Lord’s Anointed
This song is based off Isaiah 61. Luke’s gospel recorded that Jesus was in the synagogue on the Sabbath day in the town of Nazareth. He stood up to read.

Some of John’s (the Baptist) disciples were envious of Jesus because, according to them, “That Man” was now baptizing people, and people were following him instead of following John.

I began praying this first verse to the Lord, which is actually Jesus’ commission to Paul as recorded in Acts 26:16-18 before it actually became the first verse to … Continue reading Teach Them
Teach Me, Lord
No matter how long I have known the Lord Jesus, I always need him to teach me how to love and to serve him, how to obey him, how to be his witness, and how to love others with his love, so this is my prayer. I want to walk in his ways, to do … Continue reading Teach Me, Lord
