God gave His commandments to a people, a nation that He chose. God gave His commandments to the people He chose not for power or His benefit but for their benefit. All God’s laws are good and many the basic of the world’s laws. God did not give them...
Prayer?
When Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt and he went to the mountain for the 10 commandments and the people saw the fierceness of God’s power the people begged that God speak to them through Moses lest they die. God agreed and spoke to them through His prophets...
Wolves?
When we think of wolves we think of predators. The Bible tells us of a different kind of predator. This one comes as light but underneath is evil. We have often seen this kind of predator when their evil is found out. There are those we say, “I would...
King David:
