" Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us " (Ephesians 3:20) " The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more  abundantly . “I am the good shepherd.  The go...

All is Calm All is Bright : Be still my soul...  Salvation is found in the surprise of His stable-birth . Rest is in His promise: the Prince of Peace has come and He's given us His light of life...  Life everlasting ,  love never ending , and  joy multiplying ... " The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. For those who lived in a land of deep shadows— light! sunbursts of light! You repopulated the nation, you expanded its joy. Oh, they’re so glad in your presence! Festival joy! The joy of a great celebration, sharing rich gifts and warm greetings. The abuse of oppressors and cruelty of tyrants— all their whips and cudgels and curses— Is gone, done away with, a deliverance as surprising and sudden as Gideon’s old victory over Midian . (Isaiah 9:2-4 MSG) Victory ! Victory is tangible and triumphing, because  Christ is our Cornerstone , our  Everlasting Father .
