The Sweet Psalmist of Israel

Thank God, last week I was able to spend several hours after work at Pacifica church to pseudo-attend EWR (and enjoy delicious free dinners). Below is my attempt at contributing a devotional, which is something I have not done in awhile. The process of editing/peer review was refreshingly rigorous and is something that I had

NYST, BibleDB –> Bible Tidbits

It’s been awhile hasn’t it? Thank God, two weekends ago the NYST was completed at Hillsborough church in NJ.

Spiritual Food

Pr. Ko is in the bay area and has been leading services at Pacifica church for the past week or so. I had the opportunity to attend Wednesday night service yesterday after work, and all I can say is, “Thank God!” I don’t really know exactly why or how, but the topic and each verse
