How do you deal with something that people don’t believe exist. Or that you’ve seen and heard, but people think aren’t really there. I’m not talking about ghosts. My family, unfortunately, is dealing with darker things that hang on with tentacles and growl in the dark. How do you address something that the Bible hardly…
Psalm 119: 11-12 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You. Blessed [are] You, O LORD! Teach me Your statutes. Part 1 The first part of this verse is a verse I hear all the time. It’s one children learn when they’re in kindergarten. Today it means to…

I was looking for something else on Skip Moen’s site but found this (because it’s from today). From Skip Moen’s Today’s Word “The Hidden God” post: The word of God is not an object of contemplation.
