An Encouraging Word… Proverbs 23
In my Bible today, I read something that I definitely needed to hear, and I feel perhaps someone out there needs to hear it too. I’ll share it, it’s from Isaiah 49: 13-16… Sing for joy, O heavens! Rejoice, O earth! Burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord has...
What Exactly is Idolatry?
What does it mean to be an idolater? Idolatry may seem like a sin that modern people do not commit. But idolatry is not just bowing down to idols; it is trusting in what one has made, and therefore, in one’s own power as creator or sustainer. If we say we worship God...

Sometimes What He Hates…Accomplishes What He Loves
