    Naomi and her family have wandered a long way from God’s promises - what sort of welcome will she find when she turns back?

    When it comes to handyman repair jobs, I reckon there’s a strange fascination. There is for me, anyway. If you want anything fixed around the house, CALL ME. You’ll probably be sorry. Because to be honest, the problem is, in my own mind, I’m BOB THE BUILDER. But in practice, all I usually do is ...read more

    Being more than a survivor means risking everything for God’s sake

    Listen to this comment I heard the other day. “We’ve adopted such an attitude of “risk avoidance” that I’m afraid we may well miss the next great advancement. We’re so afraid of failure that we may not pursue that next step.” This quote was from 1997 and was made on a TV show about “stealth ...read more

     | 10,500 views

    Logically Ruth should not be in the genealogy of Jesus. As a Moabite she is from a despised nation and the only person seeking to be an example to her is Naomi - a woman who is bitter and angry at God. Yet God moves in mysterious ways to include Ruth.

    I question Naomi’s statement. Naomi said that she had left Bethlehem “full” and had come back to Bethlehem “empty.” If she had been so “full,” Why then, had she ever left Bethlehem to begin with? Empty? Didn’t Ruth just pledge to be at her side?
