Wouldn’t You Like To Know Him?
It seems ironic that three fellows learning carpentry in California had no idea about the world’s most famous Carpenter. But the table they were working on held the clue to His discovery. […]

What Did He Do?
The online chat started off like so many others. But it didn’t take long until it arrived at the shocking conclusion. […]
Who Is He?
Discovering the true answer to the question, “Who is He?” is more monumental, believe it or not, than discovering a cure for cancer. Ten thousand years from now, you’ll agree–wherever you are. […]
April 18, 2025 — Nehemiah’s Prayer
Why is prayer so strategic? We’re talking to the Person who knows everything and can do anything! The prayer of Nehemiah (Neh 1:5-11) may be divided into three parts, clustering in each section around a pronoun: You (vv 5-6a), we (6b-9), and You (vv 10-11).

Spiritual accomplishments are designed so they require both faith in God and grace from God. Although Ezra and Nehemiah were individual writers inspired by the Spirit, in the Hebrew Bible their books were treated as one. While there is overlap, they each deserve their own place in the Canon. Remember, there were three waves of […]
