I recently ran across a passage that I had marked from one of my favorite books called Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss. I don’t read two many novels, but this was one that I ran across that I have bought copies of and insisted it was mandatory reading for my girl friends. You can actually […]
Last week we began looking at Revelation Chapter 5 and we spent most of our time examining the Scroll.

Would you want to know what was written? Would you want to know what Christ sees in your life? What he says about your life? Would you […]
If someone took all your books away and only allowed you to keep three of four, what would they be? I had a recent visitor comment on my blog post A Diary of Private Prayer that this was one of his favorite books and that if his books were to be taken away and he […]
Last week we kicked off the Book of Revelation, “Revelation” not “Revelations” as it is often mispronounced. There is only one “Revelation” not multiple “Revelations” in the Book of Revelation.
