After the order of Melchizedek.

April 3, 2014. “After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh that is, the King’s Valley. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High. And…

Precept upon precept, line upon line.

March 27, 2014. “To whom will he teach knowledge,and to whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, those taken from the breast? For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.” (Isaiah 28:9-10) I was reading through Isaiah…

I would encourage you to read that post first to get the background to today’s post. “So you shall speak all…

February 5, 2014. Since we talked about stories yesterday, I thought it profitable to tell a biblical story today, without reading it straight from the bible (though I strongly encourage that). Sometimes when we read, I think we read the word of God too dry. So I am going to tell you a story that…
