Hope: Reliable Anchor for Our Souls
Hope is the reliable anchor for our souls. There are those who see the Christmas season as the season of perpetual hope; others, not so much. Scripture tells us in Hebrews 6:16 – 19 that Jesus is that HOPE, “Among men it is customary to swear by something greater than themselves.

So that by two utterly immutable things, the word of God and the oath of God, who cannot lie, we who are refugees from this dying world might have Read More
Three Ways God Does Not Lead His People
Do you know the ways God does not lead His people? God’s Word is filled with ways He leads His people. God leads us through visions (), the Word (), and the Holy Spirit ().

Many people have asked where this term originated and what it actually means. According to one source, the phrase is relatively new, possibly originating in the 20th century. As for the meaning, it is fairly obvious; ‘Ignoring an obvious problem and failing to address an issue which is as big as an elephant’.

Rewriting History: God Rewrites Your Story
Rewriting history seems to be a very prominent activity around the world at the moment. Presidential candidates are attempting to rewrite their own histories. Recently, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), voted 24 to 6, to rewrite Jewish and Christian history by stating the Temple Mount and the Western Wall have no ties to Jewish history and from this point on these two sites will be referred to by their Arabic names rather than their Hebrew names.
