    In Joshua chapter 2 we meet this lady by the name of Rahab and what we find out about her is rather shocking and you might even ask…”How can such a person be placed in this list, along with men like Abraham!?”

    Recently we looked at an unusual hero, in a man called Samson. He was listed in what we call the “Faith Hall of Fame” There is another unusual hero listed there… Her name is Rahab and she was not what we might choose to be a hero type for our kids or even ourselves. In Joshua ...read more

    Give Us Today The Food That We Need

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 11, 2012
     | 3,846 views

Yes, we can and do pray it word for word, but if we think the Lord’s Prayer is like a fixed recipe, or worse, if we think this model prayer is like a spell, or ...read more
