It Was Good For Me (or the day my stomach quit)
Some History I remember the first time I missed out on a family outing because of digestive problems. I was eleven. And I was so embarrassed. Two years later I was in a doctor’s office in Oklahoma City because of stomach pains and indigestion. The cause was not pinpointed.

As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust... 1 Cor. 15:48a I am but dust.

The inspiring verse for this study was John 5:46 “… For if you believed Moses, you would believe me;… Continue reading Promises and Fulfillment: The Old Covenant part 1
Promises and Fulfillment: Overview of the Bible
In Bible study the last couple of weeks, we have been looking at the Old Testament and New Testament and the main storyline they both tell in an effort to understand a little better what the Bible is.

Here is Love…
They were waiting for the greatest love of all -- a love promised from the beginning, a love that resounded through the prophets, and their own people's history. They were waiting for the promised Savior who would show a blind world the grace of a forgiving Father, perfect love in reconciliation, and the truth that sets free...
