  • Come along on a cabin adventure to the woods in Northern Canada with us. We picked the coldest weekend of the year to head down to our cabin and spend some time.
    On this episode we are doing some improvements on our big cabin also!

    A refiner's fire means to purify. It is a biblical metaphor for what happens when metal is put in to a flame. All of the impurities are burnt off and what comes out is pure. That's what God does to our hearts when we turn to Him and accept His gift of grace.

    Hello from here in Zephyrhills Florida where we will hit 39 degrees today so it’s not very warm here in sunny Florida either. But I’m from upstate NY and have been in -32 degree weather before which is why I now live in Florida lol. But this reminded me of growing up in NY so I just had to subscribe to your channel. I was born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York and had no electricity or running water ever so I can sympathize with what you’re going through to get everything up and going or warm enough to run.

    Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. 2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: 3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.” If the text sounds familiar, it occurs in Handel’s Messiah in a musical form.
