“For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” Isaiah 9:6.Sixteen years ago, my husband and I were eagerly awaiting the birth of our firstborn,…
“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease” Gen. 8:22. Isn’t it an interesting thought that the seasons that bring so much change and variety to our life and experiences on earth are at the same time a reminder and representation…
I recently uncovered a textbook from my Bible College Days titled Bible Manners and Customs. I don’t remember being overly fond of the laborious details in that book! But there was a purpose for its study. It brought to light the differences between the world and times of Bible peoples and our modern-day cultures. As one…
