While watching a new Ten Commandments movie, I was reading my Bible at the same time just to check up on one of the details of the movie that I didn’t remember reading in the Bible. (You know how that artistic license goes!) Continue reading

Easter?
Easter.
To me the word means only one thing – the resurrection of Jesus.
Perhaps when I was young I may have associated it with colored eggs, baskets of green grass, and chocolate bunnies.
I still love boiled eggs but I can do without the coloring. Continue reading
There’s no comparison!
I want to continue with a look into Cain’s family.
Cain had little regard for serving God and offered a sacrifice but his heart was not in it.

The End of Sacrifice
Continuing with yesterday’s thought on the sacrificial death of Jesus and the forgiveness of your sins.

The word “all” only means one thing to me and that is ALL! Continue reading
