If you are interested in topics like the one above, let me recommend Nancy Pearcy’s book “Total Truth.” She does a great job […]

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
3 Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.

My favorite exerpt from a book I have to read before travelling to Richmond in a couple weeks:
