Are the Promises of Safety in the Bible True?
I have long wondered what we are to do with verses like this… He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty… A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes Continue reading

Called by Name
Dad’s been gone for 6 years now, but I still remember how he used to say my name when he called me on the phone.

When Jesus Didn’t Come to Help
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.
