     | 5,442 views

    The Bible urges, "Pray without ceasing." But how do we do that? Well, we can start by giving God our waking thoughts, our waiting thoughts, our worrying thoughts, and our waning thoughts.

    There is arguably no more comforting to the Christian than the fact that God is sovereign. Joseph, although a supporting actor in the nativity narrative, gives an incredible performance.

    The story of Noah is about more than a lot of rain and a lot of animals, ultimately it is about a promise.
