It’s frustrating because we often don’t know what to do. It’s almost like the rule are constantly changing. Anybody remember the comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes? It was about a kid and how in his imagination his stuffed tiger, Hobbes, comes to life and they have great fun together. One of their

Re: Heb 10:20
The word “new” in vs 20 is, in the original language, “freshly slain”. In other words, God sees the shed blood of His Son, the perfect sacrifice, as fresh always. It is as though JUST NOW, Jesus died for us. It is as though JUST NOW He bore the stripes on His back and the thorns on

“What a Night”
That night when in the Judean skies
Thy mystic star dispensed its light,
A blind man moved in his sleep
And dreamed that he had sight
That night when shepherds heard
The song of angelic choir near,
A deaf man stirred in slumber’s spell
And dreamed that he could hear
That night

Quote: Wilbur Rees sarcastically writes in one of his books (to paraphrase):
• "I would like to buy £50 worth of God please,
• Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep,
• But just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine.
• I don’t want enough of him to make me
