Yesterday, I wrote about the need to pray for our judges. Later that same day, I had an encounter on a trail in the forest, which was a confirmation of the word I wrote. For the last 23 years, I have always wondered where a particular trail went. I always assumed it...
For the courts of any nation to extend true justice, those sitting as judges in the courts must experience a change of heart – they must hate evil and love what is good. The prophet Amos expressed what happens before a judge can adjudicate true justice, "Hate evil and...
While Scripture tells us that faith is the substance of things not seen, it can also be the substance of things we refuse to hear. It's sad to see many Christians dismiss people because they have been told to reject them or they are not willing to listen to what they...
