SINGING IN YOUR DARKEST HOUR!

(August 20, 2025) Dr Richard Winter challenges troubled Christians to sing in our darkest times.

There are times in life when things are hard, and life is difficult. Has that been the case in your life? Encountered dark hours?

In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were beaten and thrown into prison. They didn’t know whether they would be rescued or killed for their faith. Nevertheless, they prayed and sang to the Lord in their darkest hour. How were they able to do that, you ask. Because God is worthy of our worship no what matter our circumstances.

Hence a question for any troubled reader, any troubled Christian…
It’s easy to sing when times are good, but how easily do you sing when times are bad?

STORMS OF LIFE…

(September 13, 2022) Brian Bell shares comforting words to those troubled in these uncertain times…

Think for a moment on Psalm 107:23NASB, ‘Those who go down to the sea in ships…’ What one natural element of creation did Jonah, Jesus’ disciples, and Paul experience in their lives?

  • Jonah…

The Lord had called him to go to Nineveh, but Jonah had other plans and took a to go in the opposite direction. A fierce storm beset the ship and caused him to end up in the belly of a great fish.

  • Jesus’ disciples…

They were quite familiar with the Sea of Galilee, yet while crossing the sea in their boatone day a great storm blew up causing even those hardened fishermen to fear for their lives.

  • Paul…

The apostle was on his way to Rome under Roman guard when the ship in which they were sailingwas caught in a severe storm and they were shipwrecked on the shores of the island of Malta.

Yes… storms! Contemplating vessels and storms, makes me think about sea and other disasters…
