A daily walk in faith, hope and love
DAY 70 Today's text is the parable of prodigal son and reading it, every verse throws something at you: why were there two sons? Why was younger bold enough to demand his inheritance?

DAY 69 Reference text: Genesis 37 In the grande scheme of things, Joseph's life was spared because his assignment lay in Egypt, and God would ensure that all things facilitated his arrival into that land. Regardless, taking a very microscope view of this scripture reveals the state of one man's heart that would account for... Continue Reading →

That is an interesting statement coming from the Prince of Peace. Regardless, he does not backtrack nor withdraw His words. For us who read His words in this age,... Continue Reading →
284/365 You can pretend to fight for a specific flag and follow set standards. You could profess your allegiance to a course of action.
