Remembering Lot's Wife

Jesus used two events in history to make the point of how people would ignore the warnings of God’s Ministers, or servants. The days of Noah: The flood ...read more

Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023

Where does beauty come from and why are we attracted to it? Why do we as human beings desire to make beautiful creations? The existence of objective beauty points to a God of beauty who loves His creation and desires to give us joy and pleasure.

One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD and to ...read more
