The Gentle Encourager Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 16, 2021

It is 33 words in English, but only 17 in the Hebrew. And it is another of the many paradoxes of the Bible, for small as it ...read more

Shall Any Teach God Knowledge?

Contributed by James Dina on Nov 7, 2020

God knows all things, He is infinite in knowledge. Nothing can be added to His treasure of Knowledge and nothing can be taken from it. Man receives all his knowledge from God and must submit quietly to His will.
