Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. Led by the Spirit, he wentContinue reading “Day 37 of 37 Days of Christmas 2025 – Sovereign Lord”

Today in 37 Days of Christmas, I’m sharing “For the Lord is Good”—built on Belhaven’s Verse of the Year (2024): “For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation.” (Psalm 100:5) The chorus comes straight from that promise. The verses come from Psalm 100—and from a holy, unforgettable afternoon in aContinue reading “Day 36 of 37 Days of Christmas 2025 – For The Lord Is God”

Today in 37 Days of Christmas, I’m sharing “On Solid Rock”—built from Belhaven’s Verse of the Year (2022): “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.” (Matthew 7:24) Jesus says wisdom isn’t just hearing His teaching—it’s following it. That’s the difference between a life that looks sturdy in sunshineContinue reading “Day 35 of 37 Days of Christmas 2025 – On Solid Rock”

The lyrics don’t dodge that—death’s shadows, trembling neighborhoods, restless nights, the futureContinue reading “Day 34 of 37 Days of Christmas 2025 – Light Dawns In The Darkness”

Today we are sharing “Be Strong in the Grace”—written from Belhaven’s Verse of the Year (2019): “Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” (2 Timothy 2:1) This isn’t a “try harder” kind of strength. It’s the kind that starts with the truth: all of us are broken, all of us fall down. And somehow that’s exactly where graceContinue reading “Day 33 of 37 Days of Christmas 2025 – Be Strong in the Grace”
