Apparently, a new stone has just appeared that comes from the Dead Sea area. While I have done nothing more than read an article about it, it sounded very interesting. It seems this stone relates to the Jewish concept of Messiah. Interestingly, it has been dated to the first century B.C. [...]
When there is nothing left in this world for a Christian, there is still one thing he has that matters enough to fuel him throughout the rest of his day and life: peace with God. If you have trusted Jesus’ death on the cross as the substitute for God’s appeasement of wrath on [...]

How do you show someone unadulterated love? How do you give such an expression of genuine affection that there can be no doubt in the object’s mind about the depth of your care?

My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times.
Psalm 119:20
Many portions of Scripture declare the importance of knowing the Bible. But have you ever meditated on this one? When I consider the habits of my soul in terms of “longing”, I can think of several things which have [...]

This evening, I had the blessing of attending my cousin’s wedding. It was a reminder of God’s faithfulness to provide companionship for his children. It was also a joy to be a part of such a happy day for a dear friend and relative (who is also my brother in Christ).
