Applying yourself to knowledge
From ages to ages, God is God. He is everlasting and He is before all things (Colossians 1:17).

The story of Israel is such a good depiction of our redemption story, isn’t it?

Unquestionable Obedience
Throughout the bible there is a common theme about God which is: He is unchanging. You see that in His various commandments and in His dealings with men.

Knowing the heart of God
There are not many people in the bible that are known to be men after God’s own heart. Some are known to be devout, upright, full of the spirit and pleasing to God but not many, actually no one else can boast that title except for David. If you know a bit about David inContinue reading “Knowing the heart of God”
