"For Such A Time As This" (Esther 4:14)
TRUSTING GOD IN TIMES OF PERIL

“JUDGEMENT” What an ominous title and weighty subject for a blog post, particularly when it will be focused on God’s judgement, His judicial determination of mankind’s guilt in regard to our transgression of His righteous laws and commandments and the subsequent execution of His prescribed penalty for such transgression which is death, our being cut

Being the self-appointed source of all true biblical knowledge in my marriage, I proudly challenged my wife the other day to recite for me the first commandment ever issued by God and offered her $10.00 if she could do so on the first try.
