Larry Norman, the father of contemporary Christian music, wrote a few songs some of you might know: I Wish We’d All Been Ready, Sweet Sweet Song of Salvation, and Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music. 2.

    God will accomplish His plan for His people. After correcting them In Zechariah 7, God affirms His undying love and paints a picture of the future He has in mind for them. Zechariah 8:1-8 is a beautiful lesson on GRACE.

Since the 70-year captivity was ending and the temple was being rebuilt, perhaps ...read more

Apart from the sick and infirm, there were very ...read more
