Perhaps this world seems comfortable to you because it’s all you’ve ever known but make no mistake, you are a traveler here if you have chosen Jesus as your guide. This is the land you were sent to in order to carry out the will of Father, which is usually revealed bit by bit. “You […]
What does the Sabbath day look like for you? Do you have a day in your week for resting your body and praising your Savior? If so, what day is it? The look and feel of Shabbat (the Sabbath) has changed immensely over the centuries. Until the year 321 A.D. the Sabbath always began at […]
