The way we face is the way we go. I noticed soon after I began driving, that if I looked at something off to one side, I would tend to veer in that direction. In Genesis 4:14, Cain speaks as if he is being driven away to be hidden from the face of God, but [...]

The origin of the name Easter is probably the morning star; the east star. In Revelation 22:16, Jesus calls himself “…the bright and morning star.” The Greek word for “star” in that verse, is “Aster.” A kindred word, “Stauros,” is the Greek word for cross.

In John chapter eleven, when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God….” This doesn’t mean that God was seeking glory; he was seeking lost souls. He used the resurrection of Lazarus [...]

God does not do anything for the sake of glory. Very often, the first interpretation of a Bible verse that comes to mind, is the wrong one. That is because words can have multiple meanings. If there’s a wrong way to see something, that’s the way Satan will try to twist it. Look back at [...]
