July 24, 2016 "Behold I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels." .....Exodus 34:10 Many of us do not differentiate clearly between the promises of God, the accomplished facts of God (His mighty works) and the Covenant of God.

The Blessing of Suffering

January 25 2019 "Whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives." ...Hebrews 12:6 It seems clear that Spiritual vision by itself is not enough to transform a life.
