    Hosanna! For some these shouts of praise were true expressions of worship; for others they were hollow hosannas – hollow hosannas which were empty words that outwardly appeared beautiful but lacked substance. Is the praise we offer only hollow hosannas?

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ...read more

You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. God has never wanted His people to live in a constant state of ...read more
