Lesson from a Sunday School Song

Lesson from a Sunday School Song

For many of us, Sunday Schools songs were an important part of our childhood years. And many of those songs included motions – possibly to get the wiggles out of us before it was time for the lesson. But I’ve realized in more recent years that some of those songs taught us some very important […]

I have recently spent some time watching debates between some of the most brilliant thinkers in our day about the origin of the world.

Recently I read these words in Proverbs 19:21: “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” There is probably no greater evidence of that than Easter. Man’s plans were in the shouts of “Hosanna” as the crowds welcomed Him as their long- awaited king. Their plans were […]
