God’s Hidden Arrangement

Blog

I spent this past weekend assembling a detailed 3D book-nook puzzle, one of those miniature architectural scenes made of dozens upon dozens of tiny wooden pieces.

Bible Study

Not only can the book of Revelation be seen as a giant tapestry of pictures and symbols that all interlink with one another as we have previously discussed, but another great way to view this book is as a magnificent opus, symphony or musical composition. A musical composition has many similar patterns that are repeated, […]
