Read More Sing: Shaping Minds and Hearts in God’s WordExploring this particular habit is very close to my heart for a lot of reasons. The first thing to address, though, is about the holy habits themselves. There are some things we develop and cultivate rather simply and easily.

Read More A Brief Word About The WordA good friend of mine took me to watch a movie recently. I have probably been to about half a dozen films at the cinema this year.
