Read More ConformedI have not done this in a while. I first heard this song back in the early ’90’s. I remember hearing it and liking it a lot despite not truly understanding it.

Read More CD Songs: Grace by The O’Neal Twins (1983)Recently I had the privilege of sitting in on a small prayer meeting. The thing about settings where there’s a small number of people is that if those in attendance are interested it gives room for lively and engaging dialogue.

Read More A Look at Luke 14 – Banquet InvitationsTherefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without […]
Read More Whatever Happened To The Commonwealth?It’s fascinating looking at how much my life has changed over the last 20 years.
