Re: Please tell me why?

We have a child with physical and mental handicaps. I don't know that I have any special insights that would qualify me for starting or contributing to a thread on the subject, but in my heart I am settled that it is all part of "the whole creation groaning" since sin and death entered the...

Re: Please tell me why?

Going back to ragpicker’s post, I think it’s important to note that, yes, we often see very out of shape people, and yes, we do feel sorry for them. I don’t think pretending this never happens is particularly good or healthy. Amen to this. Feeling sorry for someone is not an insult. The Bible clear...

Re: Hymn Share

Maybe this isn't quite what this thread is for, but I am going to risk stepping out of bounds a minute. Does anyone know where I could find satb music for the song, "Peace like a river, flows through my soul" I would even just take men's music. I don't need a recording of it, just the musi...
