    The pilgrims wound their way to Jerusalem with singing and at last stood before its Gates. Where are our priorities for the things of the Lord? We examine our commitment and our relationship to God, and then consider the future of Israel with regard to thrones.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 1, 2024
