Today’s Trouble

April 28, 2015jcaPsalms

“Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.” Psalm 5:3 NLT “But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy. For you…

Pray for (and love) others

January 9, 2015January 10, 2015jcaPrayer

I read this morning from a daily selection based on George Whitefield’s sermons. It started with a reference to 1 Peter 1:22: “Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart.” Praying for others will fill your heart with love one…
