And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, ‘Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth; having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them — to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with […]
Your enemy said, “I will pursue; I will overtake; I will divide the spoil. My desire will be satisfied at their expense; I will draw my sword, my hands will destroy them.” But Yahweh blew with His breath, and the waters covered your enemies. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. Your God prepared a way to safety and […]
Now I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock […]

I proclaimed a fast by the Ahava River, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us, our children, and all our possessions. I did this because I was ashamed to ask the king for infantry and cavalry to protect us from enemies during the journey, since we had told him, […]
When I was baptized through death into Christ, I was put in Him in a way that transcends time and space. I am now seated with Him in Heavenly places. I was crucified with Him. I was chosen in Him before the foundation of the earth. When He baptized me through His Spirit, I was put in the earth in […]
Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men. (John 1:4 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®) Jesus is the Lamb of God, Who came to take away the sin of the world (John 1:29). He didn’t come to take away sin by giving the world better rules. He came, instead, to invite us to Life. Life is […]
Atoms and molecules have tiny parts that are drawn together by a design that takes their intrinsic natures and abilities and knits them together to build something. They don’t think about what they would like to do and look for an opportunity to real-ize their dreams. They are inescapably drawn into function. Church is a human institution that was miscreated […]
