There is a poplar worship song written and sung by Chris Tomlin that uses the following verse as its basis: “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Ps 107:1 (NIV) It came ringing in my head when I wrote this and it is so…

I just finished reading and studying the book of Ecclesiastes. The book is basically a lot of wisdom written down by the wisest person that has ever lived on the earth (King Solomon).  As I read it I realized the same theme comes across over and over – fear God (respect…
