Who Knows?
Genesis 18:25 “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” I don’t know about you, but there are many things about God and the Word of God that I don’t understand. That bothers some people – a lot! Does it bother you? I suppose one way of looking at this is…

Is there a better way?
John 21:6 “He said to them, ‘Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.’ So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.” Have you ever thought about how little you really know about just about anything? The way…

Psalm 119:73 “Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.” It is impossible to put into words the awesomeness of the Word of God. The same mind that conceived the human body gave us the Word of God. To think of the genius behind this defies description.…
