What can I say about people of this time? What are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace who call out to each other, “We played music for you, but you did not dance; we sang a sad song, but you did not cry.” John came and did not eat or drink […]

“Lo, I am with you always (all the days), even unto the end of the world.” “All the days,” any day, every day, all kinds of days. His grace is sufficient. And no days prove him more than the dull, dry, tedious days when time hangs heavy on our hands, when nothing seems to happen, […]

“Now fear the Lord and serve Him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
