“Only in acts of worship and praise can a person learn to believe in the goodness and the greatness of God. God wants us to praise Him, not because He needs or craves, in any sense, our flattery. But because He knows that praise creates joy and thankfulness.” CS Lewis So, our praise expressed leads us to experience His joy and to arouse our thankfulness for all He is doing.

What is the process that leads us from unbelief to Salvation? It begins when we open the door and sup with Him, Rev 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” His Word is His voice, and it is one of reason.

Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” God wants us to know our

What does growing old mean? If you asked a five-year-old and a seventy-five-year-old, you would get very different answers. Does this mean that the experience gained in those seventy years brings us a different perspective on this life and growing old? Prov 20:29, “The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.” Is God telling us that growing old can bring a form of beauty not yet earned during youth? 2 Cor 4:16, “For which cause we
