Do Not Grow Weary

A People in Transition
When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, who are Levites, carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. Joshua 3:3-4 When the Israelites crossed the […]
Be Anxious For Nothing
Beloved friends, who would have ever thought we would live through something such as Covid 19? I sure didn’t. I didn’t even think about potential pandemics.

Sickness, disease, yes, but a pandemic (definition- prevalent over a whole country or world) probably not. In an article on the story of influenza, I learned that in the late […]
Unwavering Faith
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was about a hundred years old – and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet […]
