    The holy practice of Job is reflected in the care of his children. Every time his children would party, he would always be there to offer a sacrifice (Job 1:4-5). How many fathers really ever get to think about the consequences of their children’s sins?

    TRAIN YOUR CHILD IN THE WAY OF THE LORD "His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the ...read more

    Nicodemus had been confronted with the fact that his religious zeal will not make him righteous before God. It is only by being "born again" through the work of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins that we are forgiven and restored to a true relationship with God.

     | 1,583 views

    There were four altars that Abraham built at various times in his life, and each of them had a special significance. As we understand what these altars represented, may we too take time to rebuild those areas where we are still lacking.
