FAIR SUNSHINE

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.  Psalm 91:1  Proverbs 31 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for he...

The very worship of God hath now become the single, fervent, and ultimate purpose of this small body of believers. Every other facet of our ministry doth stem from and flow back into this very profound yearning. Since our commencement months ago, every passing night hath been a sweet and solemn remembrance of God’s unfailing goodness and His unshakeable faithfulness, which is indeed worthy of our poor, meager praise. I confess that I, for one, have benefited greatly from this gracious spiritual gift. It is a profound privilege to share this delight of communion with our beloved brethren and sisters . We do pray earnestly that the hearts of the dear children shall likewise receive this same, unspeakable blessing. Within the church of Christ, the mutual ministry of gifts moves constantly to the pulse-beat of the life of the Spirit. The body grows through the organic interdependence of each part. From the one Head, Christ, all the body “fitly framed and knit together through that which ev...

What more can be said? Except that God is more than gracious in providing the means for His work. When he gives, He calls. When He calls, He gives. This is a welcome addition to the already growing library which has now overgrown the custom shelves I built, making me consider building a second library. 

The Heavenly Father hath been pleased to open His storehouse and provide us with the very means necessary to purchase the Holy Scriptures for the children themselves! Our immediate pursuit is to place His Word into their own hands, to be distributed freely, so that we might teach them the blessed habit of opening the Scriptures—not merely listening passively as the words are read unto them. To familiarize them with stories from both testaments and show how Christ is pointed at in the old, and fulfilled in the new, and that He can be seen in every story; how Christ is "written in the volume of the book," and inculcate the truths of God by way of catechism questions and answers. The end of every class is great encouragement to us in this work. Each one can recite the 10 commandments at will, but it will require God's grace to give it life in them, to be understood, and eventually lived out. This we thank God for and plead His hand.

I have been patiently waiting on the LORD to get a hold of this blessed set for some months now to help in my Hebrew and Greek studies. This particular commentary excels in using the original languages providing a wider scope supplementing the other commentaries in my library. "Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch were Nineteenth-century theologians from a German protestant background. They compiled one of the most comprehensive and extensive commentaries on the Old Testament. Their work in the 1800s is still held in high regard throughout theological circles for its meticulous and sound doctrinal commentary. Their work examines the historical and grammatical aspects of the entire Old Testament in Hebrew in their original context so you can easily follow the textual analysis of its intended meaning in its original language."
