When the people of Israel were in captivity, it looked as if the Lord had abandoned them. They were in need of deliverance... Read more>>>

Things are now upside down, which has made the road to righteousness very rough for the youth and difficult to... Read more>>>

If you want to know what I am talking about, find out your mother’s views on things like sexuality and marriage and compare them with yours. The contrast in... Read more>>>

They only remember the bad you once did against them but quickly forget the good you did for them. Joseph was a man God... Read more>>>
