    Hey there, family! You know, there's a quote from A.W. Tozer that I've been chewing on lately. He said, "God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves." Ain't that something? In our fast-paced world, where we're ...read more

    Some criticize him for staying in Haran saying that he fell short of the promises of God, distracted by the attraction of wealth. I don’t think he was saying, OK, HE’S DEAD! WHAT HAVE I INHERITED? But he did stay in Haran until his father died.

    Part 1 - Genesis 12:1-20 (NASB) - OK, HE’S DEAD. WHAT HAVE I INHERITED? I understand the upheaval of moving to a different city. Packing endless boxes of books, dismantling beds and throwing out all the junk we have accumulated over time - big job. Then watching a huge truck back into our ...read more
