Jacob-A Man On A Journey Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 17, 2022

Jacob was a man on the run, after leaving his home and family. He stopped for the night to sleep, and during that night, he received the strangest dream of his life. His journey was not over, in any way, shape, or form!

Even worse, their mother, Rebekah, had helped Jacob in this deception! Even before this, some years ...read more

Talk Is Cheap

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 6, 2019

Actions or works may not create faith but they can reveal the substance and form of a person’s faith. To me, works is our faith made visible. “For just as a body without the spirit is dead” … a corpse … “so faith without works is also dead” … a corpse (James 2:26).
