We’ve had two long-suffering saints from our church unlock the door that set them free from mortal years over the last couple of weeks. Henri Malan captured the hope that is ours in Christ in this song. If you can read the text or listen to the song without tears of joy coming to your…

New Christmas Music from Sojourn
Sojourn Music, a ministry of Sojourn Church, just released a new Christmas CD, “A Child Is Born”, with many reworked carols and a couple of new songs (at least to me). Sojourn Music has done a number of CDs, but my favorites are the two based on the works of Isaac Watts, the 18th century…
