New CD by my friend, Jamie Bird

Looking for a new Christ honoring music cd? Allow me to recommend "Behold Your God" by Jamie Bird with Jen Zimmerman. Here is a photo of the cover, and some clips of three songs on Jamie Bird's new cd. I love to hear her sing at church services!

My Year in J. R. Miller Quotes: May Edition

From "In Perfect Peace"

• "If we do not have [peace] we have missed part of the blessing of being a Christian, part of our inheritance as children of God. It is not a peculiar privilege which is only for a favored few; it is for every one who believes in Christ and will accept it."
• "The Christian's peace is not found in a place where there is no trouble -- it is something which enters the heart and makes it independent of all outside conditions."
• "To love is to weep some time in the journey."
• "[The peace of God] gives us songs in the night. It puts joy into our hearts when we are in the midst of sorest trouble. It turns our thorns into roses."
• "The life of Christian faith is not freed from pain, but our of the pain some rich blessings."
• "If we would have unbroken peace we must have unbroken trust, our minds stayed upon God all the while."
• "It is our privilege and duty to be free always from anxiety and to show the sad world only victorious joy."
• "It is the duty of every Christian to have peace. Not to have it is to reject the Master's behest -- "Peace I leave with you...My peace I give unto you"."
• "The will of God is to be done, not only suffered, as some people seem to think, but done in unbroken obedience and service."
• "Peace is the music which the life makes when it is in perfect tune, and this can be only when all its chords are attuned to the keynote of love."
• "We can stay our minds upon God only when the will of God has been done by us or endured patiently and cheerfully."
