LISTENING TO LEARN THE WAY

Aimee McKinnon
I am listeningWhen all sense of self is put away,When fear has fled and error's nightHas been replaced by Love's revealing day,When with calm trust I knowThat God owns every hour,When I can wait, assuredThe Father with His love and powerMaps and marks the willing traveler's way—A way harmonious, bright, wherein each step is shown,Because the traveler makes true listening his own.

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

As thought begins to soar above the earth,And mortal weights release their fearful clutch,There dawns a deepening hope, a heartfelt touchOf Life and Love which signals the new birth.

Irene Cutlip Reuter
A mighty wind once rent the mountainsideAnd brake the rocks apart; an earthquake came;And then a fire; but these did not proclaimGod's presence in the world's chaotic tide.
