Pastor Tim has submitted a great review of a fine album by Christian singer, Ginny Owens. Click Read more to see it.
 
Here is an excerpt:
Despite being blind since she was her child, Owens could see the truth of God with greater perspicuity than most Christians. Over the last 9 CDs, she has had been inundated with such a passion to communicate these truths through music. However, lately Owens has been ennuied by the current slant of contemporary Christian music towards secular love songs. So, for this her 10th recording, she has decided to return back to the older hymns of the church to help her express the deep truths of God in a fresh way.

Often our committed to God is at best superficial. We want as little to do with God as possible. Yet, we are losing out on what God has in store for us. God has prepared a feast of His goodness for us. Let’s learn together how we can feast on God’s goodness as Pastor Timothy expounds Zechariah 9:12-16.
 
The scripture reading is from Zechariah 9:12-16.

How do you love someone when you are betrayed? How do you love when you feel you have been mistreated? Yet, the Bible wants us to love regardless of our feelings. How do we do this? In this sermon, Pastor Timothy challenges how to love unconditionally through Paul’s short letter to Philemon.
 
The scripture reading is from Philemon 4-7

Jesus, my heart and soul’s desire,
You fill me with celestial fire!
Scorched by your passion I am pure
Your blood and body sinner’s cure
Who but my Lord is like to thee
Forfeiting power for slavery?
You could have ruled the universe
Distant from man and the cross’ curse
But you are not that God to me
Of an unmoving majesty
You offered up your Son to die
To tangle Satan in his lie
For he would have you without love
God of the angels far above,
But not a God become a man
In the sweet mystery of your plan
Jesus, I love thee heart and breast;
Let not doubt put me to the test.
No greater love has God for me
