Following His Path To Something Beautiful
Have you ever heard about the 400 years before Jesus came, and the significance of that? It is the time between the end of the book Malachi and the time when Jesus was born. And as far as anyone knows, God did not speak, and no scripture was written. This time in history is just [...]
So this is my third past about what makes Christmas so wondrous. You can read the first post here, and the second post here. But today my focus is going to be on Zechariah (The husband of Elizabeth, and father of John the baptist who would "prepare the way of the Lord"), Mary, and Joseph, [...]
Over the Fall we finished a study on Joshua, and Judges. As we finished Judges, and we began to approach Christmas, I became increasingly excited to look at the birth of Jesus, and behold what makes Christmas so wondrous. One of the reasons is one thing that has stuck out to me from the Old [...]

Have you heard the song A Thousand Hallelujah's yet? It is a beautiful song, and I wept at the words the first time I heard them. It left me thinking "Do I have a 1000 reasons to praise God?" The answer is... I better! But could I actually list 1000 things? A couple of weeks [...]
