The land they were heading… Continue reading Heb 4v3 – Entering His rest

“What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” (Romans 4:3). It’s one of the greatest promises of God, that we are counted as righteous in his sight. But, it is also one of the greatest conundrums. Does this mean I don’t need to live righteously because I already… Continue reading Rom 4v3 – The priest’s gift

This story plot first happened thousands of years ago when Lot and his family were told by God… Continue reading Phi 3v13-14 – Don’t look back!
It’s silly, I know. We are doing a run and as part of our health insurance’s reward program, and we need to reach the required average heart rate. However, my wife’s watch is not reading her pulse; when it does, it is on the downhill, and her pulse is low. She complains and worries about… Continue reading Isa 26v4 – It’s silly, I know
