Ripple Effect Of Our Decisions

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Sep 16, 2018

Often times, we can make a decision and it will have a ripple effect. Vashti made a decision and it set in motion an incredible ripple effect.

I have often read about Queen Vashti and have felt that she does not get mentioned as much as she should. We often read the Book of Esther and focus on many important people, good and evil, in the book but we rarely talk about Vashti. It is her one decision to reject the earthly king's request ...read more

Looking For God In All The Wrong Places

Contributed by Gary Graff on Jul 18, 2015

Like Jesus' followers of old, we sometimes fall in love with the gift and forget the giver.

Remember that old country western song, “Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places”? The song was about a down and out cowboy, looking for love in bars and shallow relationships. “Looking for love in all the wrong places”. Today we have a text that might go by a similar ...read more

One of the questions was, what was the name of Moses’s mother. It is not a name known by very many. The answer is ...read more
