I learned early this morning that the mother of one of our friends, who is a missionary to Spain and associated with the Spanish Bible Institute, went home this week. She was 94, and had been a missionary herself for most of her life, planting churches and working for her Lord in Puerto Rico. Please…
Poor sinner, dejected with fear
POOR sinner, dejected with fear, Unbosom thy mind to the Lamb; No wrath on his brow he does wear, Nor will he poor mourners condemn; His arm of omnipotent grace Is able and willing to save; A sweet and a permanent peace He’ll freely and faithfully give. Come just as thou art, with thy woe,…

Of course, there’s always the chance I’m reading it wrong. Maybe…

God the All
O GOD WHOSE WILL CONQUERS ALL, There is no comfort in anything apart from enjoying thee and being engaged in thy service; Thou art All in all, and all enjoyments are what to me thou makest them, and no more. I am well pleased with thy will, whatever it is, or should be in all…
