Take some time to ponder on the work of Christ on the cross for you – His great love and His full obedience to the Father’s will, and write out a psalm of praise and thanksgiving to God. (Do share it here in the comments if you wrote such a praise.) How Deep the Father’s ...
Chris Stapleton wrote hisTravelleralbum while he was grieving the loss of his father, and "Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore" is a particularly emotional meditation on the complicated love between a son and his late father. This song is a beautiful choice for the funeral of a man who leaves behind...
The Vicar has sat during this visitation in an attitude of hopeless depression, and has given out, with an intense feeling born of the excessive appositeness of the words to his own case, the hymn after the sermon– ‘Art thou weary, art thou languid?’ Peggy sits alone in her pew, an...

Paul wrote a beautiful hymn to charity, which the King James translators rendered in part, “For now we see through a glass darkly.” By “glass” they meant a looking glass, a mirror. The original actually reads, “We see in a mirror, dimly” (NRSV). In other words, we are the ...
