Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
for I cry unto thee daily. Psalm 86:3 As my friends may know from reading this journal, I have been passing through several hard trials, and I've been getting "pressed out of measure" in the process...* This morning, even though we had to sit in stifling heat and humidity, we had a good worship service in the chapel...
And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood
of the lamb (Jesus Christ), and by the word of their testimony . . . Revelation 12:11 The Bible speaks much about enduring, overcoming, and living with everlasting hope... For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time
are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 This Sunday morning, when my beloved chaplain, whom our congregation affectionately calls, "Pastor Carl," took his place behind the pulpit, and told us the news that his wife was recently diagnosed with cancer, we were very sad... For we know that the whole creation groaneth
and travaileth in pain together until now. Romans 8:22 In the sixteenth chapter of Matthew's gospel, Jesus chided the religious leaders of His day because they demanded that He perform a miraculous sign in order to prove He was indeed the Messiah... He maketh wars to cease unto
the end of the earth . . . Psalm 46:9a We could call it "The War that Never Ends." It is interesting to me how the spiritual climate of the Christian community here at the prison often appears to fluctuate from week to week...
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,
I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh . . . Matthew 2:17a God is doing amazing things here at Sullivan Correctional Facility... |
