What do you usually say when you hear good news? Well, if you’re like most Christians, you say, “Praise the Lord!” Or, these days, maybe you text PTL!

We find the phrase “Praise the Lord” over 40 times in the Bible, mostly in the Psalms. But The Word encourages us, in countless verses, to give praise to God.

We’re COMMANDED to praise Him. Romans 15:11 - Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the people praise Him!

Happy first day of spring! Welcome to the Vernal Equinox. Equinox is Latin for "equal night". On this day in March and on the Autumnal Equinox in September, the period of light and darkness is approximately equal. This happens each year in the Northern Hemisphere. But, down south everything is opposite. In Argentina today they're saying goodbye to summer and hello to fall! We live in a fascinating world.
