Advent begins December 1, 2024, and we will explore principles straight out of the Book of Hebrews regarding our Savior’s first advent and reasons for hope in His Return. I’m announcing it now with more explanation and prior years’ links to follow soon. Hope you’ll join me.
I need to do this because it’s important for the truth. In the end, all I have to offer is my voice. There are too many Ukrainians dying, too many Russians dying, too many Palestinians dying, too many Israelis dying, too many Arabs dying, too many Muslims dying, too many Christians dying, too many Americans […]
I wish you and yours a very happy New Year! I know the years seem to be increasingly wild and unpredictably distressing in unparalleled ways. There is good news, though: Jesus is the One who sits on the throne, and He said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these […]

Genesis 39:13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, 14 […]
