Knowing The Will of God
One of the most common questions pastors and ministers get asked is, “What is the will of God for my life?” Those who want to please God want to take into consideration God’s will.

Bells on Horses and Vessels in God’s House
In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; And the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

There They Crucified Him
There They Crucified Him (Luke 23:33)
With perfect understanding Luke takes only four words to describe the most meaningful event in all of history. The extraordinary economy of words available to Luke the physician and he sums everything up with just four words “There they crucified Him.” The other three Gospel writers leave out the particulars, allowing the imagination to put the pieces together as to what took place that dark day.
