According to Knowledge: a Study of Forsaking and Clinging

“Therefore a man forsakes his father and mother and clings to his wife . .”    Genesis 2:24 “Likewise, you husbands, dwelling together with your wives according to knowledge, .”   1 Peter 3:7 It is unfortunate that Christianity has been slandered with the idea that wives are the submissive slaves of their husbands.

A Mystery Story by God

A Mystery Story  by God       but it is written, “THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”  1 Corinthians 2:9 My wife, Rosanne, enjoys surprises.  But my choices for her…

Typos

As you undoubted know, for time to time my fingers don’t work as fast as my mind.  The result is usually typos.  I have a proofreader who catches a lot of them, and I have a post proofreader who catches some after they have been published.  But I hope none of you will consider them…

The File Library

Over the next few weeks I will be posting articles that were once in the file library of the old At God’s Table website.  There may be several a day, so don’t think I wrote all these the day before.  I want to get them into the new website so that you can search them…
