Dressing in Holiness
I have been thinking about how God made the universe with a perfect Order that He structured into all of Creation, and how it can be seen in every part of our lives. The order that was perfect before Adam and Eve ate of the fruit in the Garden, but after that moment of disobedience was twisted and distorted by sin. I am continuously reminded of God’s promise to us […]
Passion
Holy week is full of incredible truths to search out and experience. We could discuss at length the traditional Israelite feasts that the Lord instructed them to celebrate as holy convocations. They are His appointed feasts, belonging to Him.

The leaders and workers discussed how important the development of young children would be to build up Malawi society, which led to a […]

Before we left for our trip, we had just finished the […]
The Remnant
It’s not often that I have the title of something I’m writing about before I have even started the composition. Usually it’s the other way around.
