HBC Update 4-2-25
Looks like stormy weather is here, and while many are filled with fear and dread, the Lord’s people believe that our God is still God over even the weather.
Here’s what young David said about it, as he looked and listened for his God even in the midst or a raging storm.
Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty…
The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness…
… and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. (Psalm 29 selected)

HBC Update 3-7-25
HBC Update 3-7-25
For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land. (Song of Songs 2:11-12 NKJV)
Springtime in Arkansas can be tumultuous with severe weather, but I’m still glad that wintertime is basically over.
The Lord God knows what He’s doing with the changing of the seasons, including freezing, ice, snow, and all that winter brings.
But I still love the springtime. The first blush of tiny flowers in the yard, the swollen buds on the trees, and return of some songbirds… these make me giddy with joy. Early signs of spring in the earth remind me of early signs of faith and victory that sometime spring up in our hearts. There are sometimes long winters of the soul, issues that are unpleasant, or worse. But when the Lord answers those long-spoken prayers, when He turns the tide, when He brings blessing and hope and joy, it’s like early spring in our hearts and souls.
So, for the springtime of the soul we are giddy with gratitude, no matter what time of year it is. God bless, ~Bro. Johnny

HBC Update 12-19-24
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:8-14
Have a safe, joyous, and Merry CHRISTmas!
