    Blessed Are The Ermine Series

    Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 13, 2013
     | 8,282 views

    While we tend to focus on the purity of such things as food, water, and air, we would be wise to focus more intently on the purity of heart that Jesus speaks of here. A purity if not possessed will prevent us from seeing God both now and eternally.

    Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. The ermine is a short-tailed weasel that has the unique feature of having its fur change to a snow-white color in the win¬ter. God created this animal with this feature to protect it from others. The ermine instinctively protects his white coat ...read more

Sometimes you need to park in order to transact whatever business or appointment is pending. Sometimes you just park! Our life as believers and disciples of Christ is viewed as a ...read more
