“He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things” (Psalm 107:9)—yes, even with Himself.

The One we worship on Sunday must remain Lord over our lives Monday through Saturday.

“If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.” (Neh. 1:5–9 NIV, emphasis mine)

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. (Phil. 4:8 NIV)
