Imagine a scene where three young men, vibrant and strong, are being tied up and thrown into a raging fire – all because they refused to bow down and worship a false idol. This isn’t a work of fiction; it’s a real event from the Bible, recorded in the book of Daniel. As we dive […]
Exile and Restoration
Judah, God’s beloved city and His temple, had fallen into ruin. All the treasures and riches that once adorned this holy place had been carried off to Babylon.

What is Success
Psalm 90:17 And may the Lord our God show us His approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful! When we start school, I guess it is safe to assume, our parents are praying that it will be the start of something successful. I know my parents did. They had dreams […]

The Name of God
Have you ever gotten involved in something that you thought was going to be the same old thing only to have it change the way you look at something forever? That was me this past week. I get to do an online Bible study with friends from church and we’re doing one now on the […]
