This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living words to give to us. Acts 7:38 Living Words – Stephen’s speech got him killed. In it, he summarizes the entire history of God’s interaction with…
“Saludad también a la iglesia que está en su casa. Saludad a mi querido hermano Epeneto, que es el primer convertido a Cristo en Asia.” Romanos 16:5 Iglesia – Algo falta.

A Year on the Ash Heap: Travels with Job The book of Job is considered the oldest book of the Bible. With this in mind, the story becomes even more challenging.

You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11 Fullness of Joy – Today is my birthday. Maybe I should take the day off. But then I wouldn’t get the joy of learning one more deep thing…
