Worship Wednesday: BarlowGirl Pt 1

First of all, I’d like to say how much it truly depresses me that BarlowGirl is no longer going to record music. Some of their songs have deeply impacted me and my walk with Christ, my understanding of His grace… I couldn’t choose between three of those songs tonight, so here’s all three. Parts 2 … Continue reading Worship Wednesday: BarlowGirl Pt 1

But Balaam answered them, “Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could not do anything great or small to go beyond the command of the LORD my God. Now stay here tonight as the others did, and I will find out what else the LORD will tell me.” That night … Continue reading I, Balaam
