Apology by Demonstration Nicole Starlinglinks to the PDF of an article she wrote “about the apologetic issues associated with unpaid domestic work that some of us do as Christian women.” The work of a stay-at-home mother, she argues, can be a witness to the power of the gospel.
Lessons from Licefe God used what Rachael calls a “relatively small trial” to teach her important things:
I got tired of choosing each Sunday’s hymn so I’ve been working my way through an old hymnal I have, letting it do the choosing for me. The hymn that came up for today is perfect for both the sermon we had this morning, which was on the second half of Romans 1, and Canadian Thanksgiving Sunday.
The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame Their great Original proclaim. Th’unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator’s powers display, And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty Hand.
Soon as the evening shades prevail The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; While all the stars that round her burn And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole.
What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though no real voice nor sound Amid the radiant orbs be found? In reason’s ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, “The hand that made us is divine.”
I’m posting the whole YouTube video because the shortened listen-only ones don’t show up right in Firefox, but you might want to close your eyes and just listen so you don’t get sea sick.
Other hymns, worship songs, sermons etc. posted today:
