Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
A Prayer In The Morning

Shall We Hang Our Heads?
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual...

Wait On The Lord

Identity
“You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which is translated "Peter" and means rock). John 1:42 God writes our new name only on those areas of our lives where we have let go of pride, self-sufficiency, and self-interest. Some of us have our new...
In The Beginning: A Boolean Proposition
