Psalm 100

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

The LORD is mentioned in vs. 1, 2, 3, 5. The emphatic personal pronoun "He" is used twice in vs. 3 to emphasize the LORD. Seven imperatives are used in the first four verses to direct us to the proper attitude and actions toward the LORD. 100:3 Know that the LORD He is God- Deut. 4:35, 39; 7:9; I Kings 18:39. It is He who made us- He is our Creator and we are accountable to Him. We are...sheep of His pasture - He provides for us and sheep- Ps. 23:1 - and carries us- Ps. 28:9. 100:5 He is good, His lovingkindness is everlasting- I Chron. 16:34; II Chron. 5:13; 7:3; 20:21; Ezra 3:11; 106:1; 107:

YEAR END: My Most Surprising Books of 2023

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! These are the biggest surprises, mostly good ones, that I got in the second half of 2023. Since I’m going back and editing the livestream I shared with my Facebook group, Heaven Citizens, I get to make an important correction. One of the books on the list was not in front of me; in fact, I never actually bought it in the first place. And since I didn’t see it, I skipped over it. So if you actually counted down with me, you may have noticed there were only nine slots mentioned instead of ten. The book I omitted was “Who Moved My Cheese?

S3 E38 - It's My Pleasure

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail After five years of living without, Danville finally has it's very own free standing Chick-Fil-A! We are so excited and have been already like, 5 times lol. During the grand opening, one of the workers was serving us and when we thanked her she said, "My pleasure! I keep forgetting to say that." It's part of their script to respond with that expression, but should it be more for us? Well...as Christians, we are called to be genuine in our love and service to others. To show mercy with cheerfulness. That means that for service to truly be service, it will always be our pleasure

SIGNS: Destroying the temple. "The Day the Sun Stood Still." Merging. Mille Bournes.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Signs are everywhere, from giant words in the sky to the fuzzy green stuff in your refrigerator. God gives you signs, too. Ignore them at your peril. This week we’ll cover the greatest sign Jesus ever performed and why people completely missed it; three authors’ ideas about how dense people can be in the presence of absolute proof; the road signs that bring out either the humility or the selfishness in all of us; and the longest 1,000-mile road trip in the history of gaming. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods

Fearless Moral Inventory

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! What would you find if you used some personal time excavating the center of your heart, taking a fearless moral inventory, and finding out what drives all you do? This week we look at the power of self-awareness. It is massively valuable. But to be honest, it is much deeper and more needful that I first thought. To me self-awareness was this sense of reading the room, knowing how others see you, and understanding the impact of your conduct. Those are things that grow out of it, but self-awareness is much, more more person

YEAR END: My Most Disappointing Books of 2023

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Back in May, when I listed my best, most disappointing, most surprising and thinkiest books I had read to that point, I had no idea what I was in for. Since that time I have averaged a bit more than one book a day. That translates to, well, a lot of books. And they weren’t all winners. I was able to derive some benefit from everything I read. However, some of my choices did not deliver nearly as much as I had hoped. These are those books. Enjoy. 10. The Map that Changed the World, Simon Winchester. 9. Live to Tell, Brad J. Kellenberg 8
