He is continually on the move, ministering to different people, with varied needs, in different places. Such is the case with ...read more

    In love, if we start by asking God what he wants, chances are we will find a love like the one in Song of Solomon, and it will become its own song.

Ruth and Esther have love stories, but not like this one. Paul talked about marriage, but not as Song of Solomon does. This book of the ...read more
