Just One Word

Just One Word

Have you ever had one word in Scripture transform your thinking? This week I was reading the familiar verses in Isaiah 50 that clearly prophecy the suffering of Christ.

It’s a story I’ve used over and over again – especially when speaking on holiness. It’s a familiar story told by Amy Carmichael about her visit to a goldsmith as he was refining gold. The story gives such a clear picture of God’s work of refining in our own lives, but I especially love the […]
