The Follow Up Talk

Here's another song that I've created. I had technical difficulties with the sound and volume, but as I've said before, I'm no professional. So please take me as I am, and this song too! 😅 Below are the lyrics for "Your Covering". I hope you enjoy it! --> Your Covering Chorus 1 I don’t need a miracle, just to know I’m loved I just need to feel your shadow covering me I don’t need a marvelous message in the stars I just need to feel your spirit covering me Chorus 2 Singing hallelujah when my heart is breaking Singing hallelujah when my soul is hurting Offering my praise you will bring me through it Offering my praise you are still deserving Vamp You cover me, cover me, cover me (4x) Verse 1 Lover of my life, Lover of my soul To you I bring my burdens, The heaviness I hold I open up my hands I open up my heart You are the only way to make me whole Chorus 2 Vamp Verse 2 You see every moment, You see each fear I...

I am currently reading through one of the YouVersion bible app plans by The Bible Project. I highly recommend The Bible Project - they bring in a lot of history with the text so the Bible comes to life! This morning I read Romans 2-3 and had a few thoughts on how our actions should reflect our knowledge of God's truth. In these chapters, Paul was trying to deal with the tension between Jews and non-Jews who had different ways of living out their faith in God and Jesus.

Paul's words on the conflict he saw are true today for Christians. This message by our guest Pastor, Ivan Tait, is particularly convicting. Our com...

This morning I read Ecclesiastes 4 and what stood out to me was God's message on loneliness. This chapter emphasizes that it is not good to experience the ups and downs of life alone. ( Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ) When it comes to the downs of life, is harder to get back up when you are all by yourself and trying to figure out things on your own. So, when you are struggling with something, it will be so much easier to get over that problem, or figure out a solution to that problem, when you have another person by your side who can help you out.

(See Proverbs 11:14; 15:22;19:20; 20:18 ) So, be wise and seek to have close friendships where you can be authentic and real and share your struggles. This chapter also emphasized that it is not good to go through the ups of life alone too. ( Ecclesiastes 4:8 ) This verse wonders what is the point of accumulating much wealth if it will only benefit yourself? Th...
