    Some scholars have said that Hezekiah started out good and then went bad. I think that’s a short sighted description of a man who was not that much different than we are.

    OPEN: A man spoke of one of the most challenging courses he’d had at his college as being a business law class in which the professor gave difficult true/false tests.

    In-between time is difficult....time between the promise claimed and the promised confirmed. We know He can, but He hasn’t yet. You have been there, and so have I. It is during this time when you can get discouraged.

    John 11:1-6 17, 21,32a The "IN-BETWEEN" TIME Strange story. Jesus receives word that Lazarus is sick. This is his friend in whose home Jesus stayed so often. "abode two days still in the same place where he was." He is waiting for Lazarus to die. Seems strange.....delay was a delay of love ...read more
