    The overarching message of the Advent is "Peace on Earth". But when we look around, peace seems to be the last thing we seem to be having. How can we experience the peace that Advent offers?

If we look around us, not many of us find peace, but conflicts and war and strife and violence in abundance all around us. Two seasonal aspects brought this topic up to the top of my mind. The ...read more

    We fast forward now and Moses enters on the scene again at the age of 40. He was perhaps one of the most unlikely candidates for leadership that we find in the OT.
