    We’ve all needed a second chance at one time or another. Truth is that many of us have also "blown our second chance" and maybe have despaired that it was our last chance. Well, God goes beyond the second chance to the new beginning!

You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.” In Isaiah’s time the cities of the Middle East ...read more
