God has shown us the road we are to follow- with all its curves, ups/downs, pot-holes, divided highways He has not told us how fast to go, what restaurants to stop at, what cities to visit or the ones not to visit. The life He has given us- not a list ...read more

We conclude Roman 7 - the experience of a devout man under the Law trying to keep the Law - but always being defeated. Finally, victory in in the Lord Jesus. Chapter 7 is not a Christian battling sin. The Christian is NOT in this chapter. To say so has confused the whole matter.

Deborah was one of the great "she-roes" of God. What was it about her that made her a heroine in the book of Judges and what is it about her faith that got God's attention?

Someone once said that “It is important for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!" - Maya Angelou To that person's mind the term “she-roes” was a unique and eye-catching way to talk about heroines. And I like that word. In the Bible there are many heroes, but ...read more
