God Keeps Saving Us

D. Scott Meadows
"All things work together for good.” This is a truncated quip from our text verse that many use for encouragement, but without the whole verse and an appreciation of its surrounding context, the quip may mean little more than, “Every cloud has a silver lining.”

Enlightening Thoughts

The Lord's Day

I grant you that before we knew the Lord, it did sometimes seem to our young minds rather a dull thing to read the Bible, [to] hear sermons, and to keep Sabbaths.
