There are four major characters to this time period in Israel’s history: the prophet and judge Samuel, King Saul, King David, and King Solomon.

When we are touring around Israel in recent trips, my friend and tour guide, Nir likes to say “It’s Good to be King” when he explains certain periods of history and how the monarch availed himself of certain privileges.

Our heart matters to God. And our heart will either lead us towards God, or away from God. When you listen to your heart now, and every heartbeat is translated into words, what words would you hear?

A heart beats about 115,000 times each day. A heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood every day. A woman’s heart beats slightly faster than a man’s heart. Most heart attacks happen on a Monday. A heart is a symbol of love, life, or anything that is at the center of utmost ...read more
