Last week, we read just two verses from John 8, spending the rest of our time in Leviticus 23 and Exodus 13. I scratched my itch to get back to the OT, and I'm ready to take another shot at this. I say that, but this is probably the most depressing chapter (I hope!) in the entire gospel of ...read more

Valley Life

Contributed by Terry Barnhill on Nov 6, 2006

I mean the tribulations of Job that rock us to the very core of our faith. It’s so tempting to believe ...read more
