Let me tell you, please: I don’t understand God’s procedure. I mean, God called a nation, Israel. AND GOD GAVE TO THEM LAWS AND RESTRICTIONS… A very restraining life-style, requirements and commandments, tens and hundreds… Take a look in Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy…

POEM
Jesus! whose blood so freely stream’d
To satisfy the law’s demand;
By Thee from guilt and wrath redeem’d,
Before the Father’s face I stand.
To reconcile offending man,
Make Justice drop her angry rod;
What creature could have form’d the plan,
Or who fulfill it but a God?
No drop remains of all

This anchor holds in day of adversity,
When all else threatens to give way.
This anchor keeps my vessel from drifting,
Never letting my ship run astray.
This anchor holds midst angry seas battering,
When waves and winds battle for my soul.
This anchor holds in the lonely night hours,
When darkness
