There is one word that is used a lot today in various tenses. As a teacher I use it a great deal, especially in dealing with the subject of the brides’ spiritual maturity. But what is interesting is that one tense of the word is never used in the New Testament while both tenses are used… Read more

Some 200 years after Joshua led Israel against Jericho, she found itself dealing with the consequences of failing to do what God told her to do. They had conquered the Amorites, Ammonites, Hittites, and the Jebusites… all the “ites” except one. They failed to drive out the people of Palestine and now, two centuries later,… Read more

It is almost impossible for us to be with someone for an extended period without talking because there are so many things that we want to share with them;… Read more

I recently visited a place I have been many times that always challenges me to act when I am not sure of the action to take. It is a place that we have all been along with King David … the valley of the shadow of death. It was Oswald Chambers that once again set… Read more

This morning in meditating on the giving of the Law of God on Mt. Sinai I was struck with something that I have always wondered about as I am certain you have as well. It hit me when I read the second commandment: Ex 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any… Read more
