Throughout history gold has been a highly-valued commodity. During the Gold Rush, many people left everything...homes. families, some devoting their entire lives to the pursuit of it. God is a treasure far more precious than all the wealth on Earth, but unlike gold, He is not hard to find. He truly is a God who shows Himself. His truths are richly woven into the fabric of all creation. Our greatest insight into the very heart and mind are the Scriptures, but to find the real treasure, we must dig deep into the remote recesses of the Rock himself. One thing you will most certainly discover is the deeper you dig, the deeper He gets. In all eternity we will never be able to plumb the depths of God. It is my hope that perhaps through my own search for that 'Treasure above all Treasures' you will find something which will have some meaning for you. R.Whelan

I WILL NOT BOW

You may outlaw the name of God
Revoke my right to pray
But there are things despite your power
You cannot take away

There is a God who rules and reigns
All things unto this day
And His Kingdom does not tremble
Despite what you may say

For there is no power among you
That my God did not give
And it is by His power and grace
Not by your rules I live

I will try to follow your laws
But when I’m forced to choose
Between your law and His law
I’m sorry but you lose

And I will proudly speak His name
Wherever I may be
Though you may chain my hands and feet
And take my liberty

For He is God and on His throne
Though you may say He’s not
He is God and He shall reign
When you are long forgot

So write your laws
And loud proclaim your edicts through the land
I will not bow my knee to you
Nor any other man
