Brother Lawrence wrote:  "There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful, than that of a continual conversation with God; those only who can comprehend it who practice and experience it."  His words reflect the heart of this modern day scribe and intimate of Jesus Christ, and it is my desire (and also the heart of God) to see all of the hearts of God's children set on fire with abiding love and burning desire for intimacy God, and with fervent love for the Body of Christ and the lost and perishing in the world. Your partnership in prayer and in the meditation and study of the word of God is vital to the spiritual health of the Body of Christ and for the advancement of the Kingdom of God in the world today.  May this ministry offer you encouragement and spiritual nourishment to help you lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares, and give your endurance as you run the race set before you, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2). "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.  Al things were created through Him and for Him.  And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.  And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence."
