Paul was waiting in Athens, Greece, for his fellow partners to meet him there. While waiting, he walked throughout the city and encountered numerous statues, monuments, and altars to all sorts of gods: the gods of fertility, the gods of strength, the gods of the sea and the weather and of agriculture and even a [...]

I’m joining Renee’s meme, Something Beautiful! Check it out! This is something beautiful. To me, anyway. It’s an old Bible. It was the Mecomber family Bible, way back in 1884. It’s a remarkable book, it contains some exquisite lithographs as well as Josephus’ Antiquities of the Jews, a dictionary, concordance, and more. It also has [...]

Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. I opened my mouth and panted, For I longed for Your commandments. Look upon me and be merciful to me, As Your custom is toward those who love Your name. Direct my steps [...]

We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed… Therefore we do not lose heart.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood [...]

I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you [...]

The kids and I have been reading through Hebrews, one of my favorite letters of the Bible. It is just so rich. I’m going to quote a portion of it here and let the Spirit speak for Himself. This is just so wonderful, such good news! But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice [...]

The kids and I were reading 2 Corinthians 3 this morning. It was so wonderful. For some reason, just thinking about God’s love made the sunshine seem brighter, the skies bluer, and the day more beautiful. I was trying to explain to the kids about “where the Spirit is Lord, there is liberty,” and one [...]
