One of the coolest stories in scripture follows the resurrection of Jesus, which makes sense to look at it following our Easter celebrations. It's the story of two disciples on their way to Emmaus. The Bible says they were walking [...]
When I wrote my first book about righteousness in 2003, my grandmother was 83 years old. Even at that age, I greatly admired her. She was hospitable, beautiful, and in every way reminded me of the Proverbs 31 woman. As [...]
The only thing worse than your past is a future that's bound by the past. In three short words, Jesus gave us a visual of this when He said, "Remember Lot's wife" (Luke 17:32). Another translation says, "Don't forget the [...]
