We have been studying the book of Nehemiah in my Bible study. One of my assignments is to look at my notes on Nehemiah, the man, and to ask God what I can learn from this individual and apply it to my life. I recently read the Bible in a year and […]

The Abyss
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about Kate Cox. She left Texas to abort her baby with Trisomy 18. She felt she would have only had 2-3 days with her infant after giving birth. The story breaks my heart for her, her baby, which she and her husband named, and […]
The Veil
The temple veil was torn in two when Christ breathed His last. Why? Was this symbolic of God’s purpose in sending Christ to die for us? Didn’t people of that day recognize the significance, especially the Jews? Let’s answer these but first, we must understand the veil. The veil represents the […]
Mark Again

Caste
I’ve been having a hard time deciding what to write about. I sent a response to a gifted writer earlier who told of her experiences with racism (Nylse Esahc). I’m also in the middle of reading a book about the 12 generations of African-American slavery and the subsequent caste that was created to […]
The Human Heart
“There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ.” – Pascal According to Romans it is with the heart that a person believes. For those who choose to turn from God, the […]
