Daily Bread- The Prayer and the Chain Saw October 17, 2018I respect my Aunt Gladys’s intrepid spirit, even if that very spirit concerns me sometimes.

As the words washed over me, I was reassured by r […]Monica Brands
- Forever the Same October 16, 2018When I Googled “God in the Old and New Testament,” the results included questions such as “Why is God so different in the Old Testament than He is in the New Testament?” and “Why was God so harsh in the Old Testament, but more forgiving in the New Testament?”Remi Oyedele
- Priceless Prayers October 15, 2018Imagine receiving clothes you chose to never wear, cars you didn’t ever drive, or houses you never lived in. What would be the point? If we’re not going to use those things, we might as well not possess them.Mike Wittmer
