The Greatest want of the world...: I love trials.
http://greatestwant.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-love-trials.html
Thursday, July 2, 2015. And I'm actually serious. Does a dead battery, a blown-out tire, and serious engine trouble in one day qualify as a trial? It sure felt like it. But as we sat in the parking lot, trying to decide how to proceed, I felt a strange peace, and almost a little excitement. Because it's hard to have faith, when you don't need faith. But when times are hard, when you can't afford a brand new car, when the entire path in front of you is black with foreboding. That's when you have. The grea...

The Greatest want of the world...: Missions: My passion
http://greatestwant.blogspot.com/p/missions-my-passion.html
I decided to make a page devoted to missions. I hope you enjoy these things as much as I do! Eternity stretches before us. The curtain is about to be lifted. What are we thinking of, that we cling to our selfish love of ease, while all around us souls are perishing? Have our hearts become utterly callous? Can we not see and understand that we have a work to do in behalf of others? My brethren and sisters, are you among those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not? Http:/ www.lmn.org/. It is...

The Greatest want of the world...: The Laundry man.
http://greatestwant.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-laundry-man.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2015. It had been a sort of discouraging afternoon - nothing had seemed to be going right, and I kept having nagging feelings that I wasn't being as useful to God as I ought to be. Finally, I decided to go do my little bit of laundry, instead of dwelling on what I thought were big obstacles. I walked into the rural Tennessee laundromat, in the vain hope of finding someone who could break $100 into washing-machine-sized chunks. And then I saw him. You know, everything I had been strugglin...

The Greatest want of the world...: Choose your battle.
http://greatestwant.blogspot.com/2015/06/choose-your-battle.html
Saturday, June 27, 2015. They loom, huge and seemingly filled with a message of doom for all they come in contact with: issues like we’ve never seen before…. Marriage “re-defined”, on a federal level. A fistful of issues that threaten (so it seems), to make my church crash and burn. And the list goes on…. Can you think of a time in your life when there was more at stake for the world, and the church? Nicodemus knew there had to be something better. Risked his neck in the dark to find out more about it.

The Greatest want of the world...: Music
http://greatestwant.blogspot.com/p/music.html
It's always hard to find good music to listen to, isn't it? I have always loved music, although not always good music. :-( Praise God, He fixed that. I have learned a lot about music, as I have learned to play the guitar for the past 10 years or so. Over the last few years, I have found some of the best music I can, and I will share it with you. Enjoy! A site I just found out about, that seems so far to have excellent sacred music:. Http:/ www.abidingradio.org/format.html. Hope you enjoy these! The humbl...

The Greatest want of the world...: Random thoughts.
http://greatestwant.blogspot.com/2015/05/random-thoughts.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. It's been a long time since I've written here. Life has been full - very full. Although I have missed writing, I have been enjoying the silence. And I have been learning much - in fact, two major realizations have hit me, and it is revolutionizing my life. They didn't think they were doing wrong - or at least so they told themselves. They made many rules into traditions and customs, that God had never asked or wanted them to partake in, let alone enforce. He's no ruling tyrant...
