We are divided. People on every side want to blame and call names. How much healing could come if we listened to what God commanded us? “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths.” It doesn’t say a little. It doesn’t say you can if you’re right.

Why is dry ground important? Three times in Exodus 14 the Bible tells us the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. The Bible could’ve just said they walked through the sea.

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind… Job 38:1 Why in this account did the Lord answer Job out of the whirlwind? Why did the whirlwind part need to be included? Why doesn’t the Bible just tell us the Lord answered Job? I looked up what others thought the whirlwind represented. The most… Continue reading Out Of The Whirlwind

This is one of my favorite accounts in the gospel of Mark: “Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land.
