It’s Friday…And All The While God Grieves
Does God hate? That’s a strong word, hate. It’s hard to image God hating anything. Yet, He does. God is relentless in His hatred of evil.

He has demonstrated at every turnContinue reading “It’s Friday…And All The While God Grieves”

It’s Friday…Look For His Answer, and Join In
It’s Christmas! We have big plans, don’t we? Sometimes we come to God with a plan. We have an agenda.

We petition Him for something that, as far as we know,Continue reading “It’s Friday…Look For His Answer, and Join In”
It’s Friday…It Will Be Accomplished!
Christmas is here! Surprise, surprise. Mary was. Remember the conversation she had with the angel Gabriel about how she was chosen to bear God’s Son? He laid out the detailed promises of God to her.
