In the concluding part of the series on "Miracles' within miracles" today, we come into yet another amazing "silent" miracle occurring alongside a "thunderous" one… Precision Bombing! Joshua Chapter 10 records one of the most amazing Divine interventions ever in human...
We hate it when anybody is accused unjustly and there are those who say God is cruel and vindictive. They say it because God said that anybody who chose another god above him would be punished "to the third and fourth generation" (Ex 20:5). As a result, yes, God is...
"Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them (again) and said, 'Peace be with you!'" (John 20:26) The door slammed shut. We were having dinner, and even with the animated chatter I could hear it bang closed. When we have family get-togethers, it’s a...

There is a bowl of fruit on the table and its variety is enchanting. Some of the fruit is rough-skinned and some smooth; some is shiny and some is dull; some I can eat in one bite on the run and some I can chew my way through at my leisure. There is also a rainbow of...
"I was tempted to think ..." We've all heard, and possibly said, these exact words: "I was tempted to think you'd be late!" "I was tempted to think you didn't care!" "I was tempted to think she was right about you!" In my experience these words are generally stated...
"From the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I." (Psalm 61:2) "He leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul." (Psalm 23:2b, 3a) The river was singing a bit louder this morning due to some badly needed...
