    When you have the right tool for the right job, you can accomplish what you set out to do. In order for the remnant to accomplish the job that God had called them to do, they needed the right tools. They needed the tools of vigilance.

One rule of combat is that you have to deal with the most imminent threat first. In other words, you have to ...read more

    Our Christian faith and commitment to the Church and our time spent in the Bible has been weighed and is found wanting. When we find our commitment and loyalty to Christ divided, we fall. Its all ‘writing on the wall.’

    (38) Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. (39) And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. (40) But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, ...read more
